Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?
There have been many cases to support why defunding would be necessary, such as the death of George…
The police install a fear factor within the country that helps keep people accountable for themselves. Without proper funds, they will appear weak and useless in the eyes of citizens.

There are ways to regulate the behaviors of people without instilling fear in them. A much more effective alternative would be to defund the militaristic side of the police and push for something more community-based that still holds citizens accountable.
