@8PXL8MM4yrs4Y
Funding More training for mental Heath, lessening funding in smaller rural areas and increase for high crime communities.
@8P5SKFG4yrs4Y
The police are a tool. If our governments who control the police are freedom lovers, give the cops all they need. If the governments become tyrants, as they are becoming now as we see with "The Great Reset", take their tools of oppression away. But then, of course, that's when such governments use their tools the most, isn't it?
@8VV99ZJ4yrs4Y
No, but fund different programs to help train properly, with sensitivity training and proper gun control and care.
@85QWNPG3yrs3Y
No, the problem of US police force is not the amount of investment but rather the unfair encentives for stops, searches and jailings, private prisons and lack of training of which can all be fixed by both more oversight, accountability and a balance of the spending in current budgetary finances.
@4XD28G74yrs4Y
Yes, wherever possible police should be replaced with unarmed community based first responders better equipped to deal with non violent calls. However, police should also have increases funding for better training.
@6K36GJH4yrs4Y
Yes, but this is knee-jerk reaction to people who have livelihoods based upon these jobs.
@BestPoliticsIN4yrs4Y
No, but stop police from acting in victimless and nonviolent situations
@2HN4HSX5yrs5Y
Transfer all funding and policing duties to the elected sheriff's department.
