Does that woman not realize she's saying she is more important than the people who voted for her? 

I feel for the people who have legitimately been affected by unwarranted police violence and I believe bad cops should be unemployed and held responsible for their actions. I know there are legit reasons why some feel like cops are not protectors. I get it. But to say, 'defund all police' while you pay for private security is unbelievable. 

She says she's had threats on her life, and I believe it, but social media threats or letters in the mail is nothing like the constant threat of life in an unsafe and unstable neighborhood where you can be sitting on your couch on a random day and be shot by drive-by gunfire. I've lived in such a neighborhood. Many years ago I lived two houses down from a drug house that had constant traffic after sunset and violence was regular. The guy finally died when he answered his door one day and was shot point blank. 

Are the people in these neighborhoods part of the problem? The ones who are the criminals, yes. But there is a whole lot of collateral damage of the innocent people who are just trying to get by and have no choice but to live where they do. 

This woman is saying their lives don't matter when she's focusing on defunding police instead of dealing with the criminal element.
