Redirect some police funding to other non-violent social service programs to help people instead of hurt them.
@9FR4Q6CRhinoceros2yrs2Y
No, while increasing funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities, and lowering funding in communities with lower crime rates and give that funding to social and community based programmes.
@8YVZFFFRhinoceros3yrs3Y
I think we need to add more funding to retrain the police to have more equality but don't take away the funds from the police to the social events
@8VQJD7KRhinoceros4yrs4Y
Not necessarily redirected from police departments, but more funding should be put into preventative social and community programs.
@8TXR9RSRhinoceros4yrs4Y
Yes, but not with the aim of abolishing police, but of reallocating resources, while also helping the police to do what they do well.
@8S6W2SDRhinoceros4yrs4Y
Yes, only by a bit though
@8RTYK29Rhinoceros4yrs4Y
it should be stopped altogether
@8QLP8DXRhinoceros4yrs4Y
Not all money should be redirected but having seperate departments with better training to deal with issues would be a start.
@8PKCQ27Rhinoceros4yrs4Y
No, we should increase training in higher crime rate communities. Ones with lower rates should have a slight decrease
@8PDK5J8Rhinoceros4yrs4Y
I think it is good as it is
@9CN6GGV2yrs2Y
Increased, but money should also be used to redirected to social and community based programs
@9CBW5722yrs2Y

@9C6LPSM2yrs2Y
Both should have adaquate funding because the policing system needs updating and reform.
@9C3MN5G2yrs2Y
Yes but the larger portion of the funding to still go to the police department. Restructure how it’s divided.
@9945P2L2yrs2Y
Divert 10% of the Funding to help the Communities, and hire people from those Communities
@979LFBNRhinoceros2yrs2Y
