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
It is stupid, why should we give up our safety against criminals who are willing and able to kill us because of people who do not like the police. Those views are radical and the people need to understand that if this were to happen the death of victims during a crime will skyrocket because there will be no police to investigate, locate, and arrest the criminal. If your house was being broken into and the armed assailant had a gun to you, how would you feel knowing that no cops would ever be coming to help. What if the assailant shot you in the stomach area hitting a rib and puncturing a lung or causing it to collapse? there would be no one to help because the police arrive first to a scene such as this one explained so that other first responders can go in. Banning guns wouldn't work either because criminals already get them illegaly.
