"Defund the police" became a popular outcry in June 2020 following the murder of George Floyd. Defund means β€œto withdraw financial support from.” It does not necessarily mean to take away all funding. I will argue in favor of lowering police budgets than what was allocated for fiscal year 2020 (the budget that was agreed upon in 2019) by 5% or more before all the social unrest. In this debate I will be focusing on mid size to large cities across the U.S.

John Bolton, current National Security Adviser and former UN Ambassador, famously argued that international law does not exist, insofar as the doctrines and treaties we often call "law" do not qualify as such. This question has serious implications for how nations can and should act internationally. For the full debate topic and the debate's rules, consult the "full description." Acceptance of this debate constitutes acceptance of these rules. I will argue against Bolton's position.
