If the police can prevent regular stabbings and shootings, then I think they deserve the funding. However, the news suggests otherwise.
@9WPFJ7W6mos6MO
No. Police funding should be unchanged, but additional funding should be directed to social and community based programs.
@8YVGPZD3yrs3Y
The funding should be equal for both.
@8VS2NXR4yrs4Y
Yes and no there should definitely be more social and community-based programs however police are still needed
@8VGPD8V4yrs4Y
Increase the funding for social programs to the level of police funding
@8TVVNK74yrs4Y
No, but add bodycams to all officers and deny them testimony in misconduct complaints if the bodycam footage is unavailable.
@8ST56WQ4yrs4Y
If and only if they work better than the current police
@8SPJKZF4yrs4Y
More police training, crisis training and psychological checks, also hold police accountable and have bigger consequences for using lethal force unless in extreme high risk cases.
@8SHS6YW4yrs4Y

@8S73DY84yrs4Y
I don't like talking about US issues in Canada, police brutality is rare in Canada
@8PM82LC4yrs4Y
Some of the police's funding should be.
@9CLM4822yrs2Y
Funding is based on the area. If it is a high crime-rate area, increasing funds and training would be much more useful. If it is a low crime-rate area with a non-violent community, replacing police with responders is much more useful.
@9CLFDJT2yrs2Y
both these programs and establishments require the same amount of attention and a fair amount of funding should go to each.
kinda but also we should have better training for police
