No, I’m fine with the current spending
@3JLJ7DY4yrs4Y
No, but increase the funding for social and community based programs
@8QNKSKF4yrs4Y
NO! This is absolutely one of the dumbest things society could do. A country without law and order will not be a country for long
@IINXMP4yrs4Y
No, increase funding and training for police in higher crime rate communities, as well as encourage private emergency services.
@3GRHFK64yrs4Y
This should be determined on a case-by-case basis. There should be budgetary oversight of police departments and it may make sense to shift funding to mental institutions.
@7GP32QV4yrs4Y
Yes, and reform police departments to prevent further discrimination
@8PRKY7Q4yrs4Y
No, less police means more crime.
@8T58M5P4yrs4Y
No, I'm satisfied with the current funding
@8T6QZ7W3yrs3Y
Abolish programs and the police
@8TKPJXZ4yrs4Y
No, but supplement police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls.
@8X3CDBC3yrs3Y
No, but allow for non-profit groups to be brought in as partners to police to assist with rehabilitation after domestic violence and other crimes
