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
That's because we don't yet have the additional systems and infrastructures necessary to actually address the issues that policing doesn't solve to begin with. We should abolish modern policing AND implement the structural changes needed for society to improve, but we can't reasonably do just the first one without the other.
