More funding to community based programs
@8VNZPWH4yrs4Y
Not all of it but some funding yes
@8RL3DTN4yrs4Y
Leave the police out of it. Redirect funds from elsewhere towards social and community based programs.
@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?
Increase training to optimize current funding available.

Yes and reduce the duties of police to the smallest, most necessary subset of law enforcement.

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

No, but reduce the power that police unions have in protecting bad cops.
