No, but fund different programs to help train properly, with sensitivity training and proper gun control and care.
@52P5M5S5yrs5Y
In theory this could work, however I'm more in favor of and increase in funding and better training. In some scenarios the police force may be too corrupt and may need to be completely disbanded and rebuilt.

Yes, but only for non criminal related matters like traffic violations and mental health services

@7C2LD624yrs4Y
Yes, and replace police with local militia and neighborhood watches.
@8H2G98J5yrs5Y
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
@8S4VH5F4yrs4Y
It depends. We need specially trained police officers for specific scenarios. We also need racial-bias training.
@88LK76J4yrs4Y
Yes, and abolish the police Temporarily
@3QH7LMP4yrs4Y
No, but have constitutional lawyers involved in police training
@6WQYBY35yrs5Y
Yes. By eliminating victimless crimes from the responsibilities of the police, Law Enforcement can draw down and the newly available resources can be used at community discretion.
@4N8THPV5yrs5Y
Yes, if that is what the community decides. End federal funding for local police departments.
@4FPWLYP5yrs5Y
No. Police should be privatized, and demilitarized. Laws should also be repealed to prevent more possible deadly encounters.
