I don't think we should completely defund the police but we should defenitely direct more money to social and community based programs.
@4MW5VJW4yrs4Y
Keep funding the same, increase funding for police training especially in higher crime rate communities and replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls
@3TRKR473yrs3Y
No, keep existing funding and add funding for social and community based programs.
@8WCXMPV3yrs3Y
Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls, they should have longer and more through training
@8SFDLS63yrs3Y
Yes, but only funding that is not essential. Such as the defunding of police militarization. Only that money should be redirected to social programs.
@6RW5J4M4yrs4Y
Yes, but still maintain an effective and a much better-trained police force
@842VWLK2yrs2Y
yes, but only if there is still enough funding to police departments that they can still sustain themselves.
@8H2G98J4yrs4Y
The police department should be given less funding, and have a remodeled system that requires more training and knowledge of drugs, mental illness, and other issues that are similar. Police should also not be allowed to use a gun unless completely necessary and should be charged if they wrongfully kill a person when it could be avoided
@8KG7DR84yrs4Y
No, but we should end qualified immunity and defund their unions.
@8QVKJQM4yrs4Y
Yes, but the police should not be abolished.
@8S3RYR94yrs4Y
Yes, but only from major cities.
@93MYGJV3yrs3Y
In stead of taking funding from local police, we should direct some money from the military to social and community based programs. While the police should be placed with more restirctions on gun use and training.
