Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?
Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls
Some people may believe this is a good idea since it will “give the people more power” but in reality it will give people who have not been trained to assess situations they are not prepared for while being armed and unstable. This will lead to more deaths. Defunding the police is a crazy idea because they will keep you safe and punishing good people for the bad decisions of a few would mean that many businesses and government led things would have to be shut down as well.
