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
Police are trained to deescalate a situation, and if an untrained community based responder is responding to a non-violent call, it is a higher possibility that the call can become violent because the responder does not know how to handle a situation.
