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
Absolutely not, the police are essential to any neighborhood and with Community based responders they could be essentially outlaws.

I agree. Even if there was no police eventually people would take charge and just end up forming a new force. If anything we should have them take mental evaluations every few months and retrain if they don't already.
