Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?

@4SHZKD6AnswersCriminal IssuesDefunding the Police4yrs ago

Yes, what a place this would be if social organizations had the funding to do what they set out to!

That being said, I think police are still essential and need continued training/psycho-social training and eval. It's a respected position but a letdown to see officers who are corrupt and abuse that power given.

Trump Declares War on Migrant Crime: 'We'll Use Their Loot to Pay for Their Harm'

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said his administration would seize the assets of criminal gangs and drug cartels and use the money as restitution for victims of crimes committed by migrants. The proposal came during a wide-ranging address at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday, during which the former president claimed that migrants have “taken over” large swaths of towns and are using military-grade weapons. “We’ve got to get them out of here,” he said.The Federal Crime Victims Assistance Fund provides financial assistance to those who have been affected by crimes.

The government will help in the restitution, but something has to be done, and we're gonna get it done."
