Rashida Tlaib On "Defund The Police": "It Doesn't Matter What Terminology We Use...It's Just Not Working"

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) to Joe Madison: "School counselors are being replaced with police officers. Nurses are being replaced with police officers. When somebody comes knocking on your door for eviction, it's not a social worker from the city coming in, it's a police officer putting somebody out. It's police officers addressing the homeless crisis and the poverty crisis in our country. And that system is very much set up to overcriminalize, overincarcerate, and really punish folks that are the most vulnerable...To many of us, that's not public safety. So it doesn't matter what terminology we use, I think everyone has to agree that it's just not working."
