After featuring multiple viewpoints on the “Defund the Police” movement, Dr. Phil offered a firm reality check to one of his guests on the necessity of law enforcement.
Dr. Phil schooled one of his guests about reality and how police are needed to protect people from criminals.
The episode, titled"Defunding the Police: A Failure or a Fallacy?," included a variety of perspectives on the role thatshould play. Writer and podcaster Mychal Denzel Smith took a stance so controversial on policing, it provoked a heated reaction from the host himself. "People are the creations of the society in which they live in," Smith said."If you are a society that has such massive inequality, and you are a society that is based on racial and gendered hierarchies, and you are a society that deprives people of the resources that they need to live - talking about housing, clean water, food, all of these things that are part of an equitable society, you’re talking about people that will do desperate things in order to survive.
Dr. Phil agreed with Smith about societal issues, but took issue with the idea of solving them by removing police.
