The Golden State killer pled guilty to thirteen 1st degree murders yesterday. With police defunded & no more prisons, do we let him go now?

And let "social workers" manage his case from home from now on? He also admits to over 100 rapes, over a 40 year period, but the statute of limitations has run out on these crimes. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/29/us/golden-state-kil...

    Wrong, sooo wrong. 1.There is no statute of limitations on murder (never heard of "cold case files" before?) 2. No state has voted on defunding, but it will actually only be *restructuring police depts. 3. That doesn't even apply to the penal system, Einstein.

    Police don’t sentence people. And this is the US. We’ll ever run out of prisons. I’m sure they’ll find room for him.

    He was cop at one point in his life.  Maybe restructuring police forces would keep psychopaths fascinated by violence and cruelty out of policing.

    Defunding in this context means less money, not disbanding without replacement.  

    No more prisons?  That's a new one.  Who told you that?

    No, police will still be used for crimes and violence, but for many drug related problems, injuries, neighbors playing music too loud, etc., social workers, therapists, doctors, and others will be used. Why the hell do the police have to show up if my neighbor is playing their music too loud? Why do we have to pay police to stand with road crews on quiet roads? Why do we have to have police show up, when someone faints? Etc.

    Personally, I would recommend releasing him into the custody of the family of one of his victims.

    He WILL be given the same pity and consideration about how long he has to live.

    You will be happy to hear that President Biden will give the police MORE money, not less.

    HE WAS A COP.   GUESS YOU ARE RIGHT.  ALL COPS ARE GOOD AND WE SHOULD JUST LET THEM DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. "From May 1973 to August 1976, he was a burglary unit police officer in Exeter (a town of about 5,000 people, near Visalia),[40] having relocated from Citrus Heights.[30][39] By 1976, DeAngelo had been promoted to sergeant and was in charge of the Exeter Police Department's "Joint Attack on Burglary" program.[41]"

    Might as well just let him walk.  He might get COVID-19 in prison.

    Since no one has defunded the police or gotten rid of prisons, your post makes no sense.

    Sweetheart, police "defunding" doesn't actually mean getting rid of the police or prisons.

    You know that. Or if you don't, you're too intellectually deficient to be posting here.
