No, funding can stay the same as the police shouldn't be defunded
@3QH7LMP4yrs4Y
No, but have constitutional lawyers involved in police training
@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 Laws should also be repealed to prevent more possible deadly encounters.
@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.
@4LPK7XY4yrs4Y
Empower police departments to resource subject matter experts in matters of de-escalation training, community engagement, and focus on supporting low-income communities.
@2JKJDDZ4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for non criminal related matters like traffic violations and mental health services
@6K36GJH4yrs4Y
Yes, but this is knee-jerk reaction to people who have livelihoods based upon these jobs.
@8Z48T243yrs3Y
No, and decrease funding for police
