Yes, but don't take only a portion of the funds instead of all or a big amount of it.
@9V5Y68N7mos7MO
I'm in favour of the funding for non-policing forms of public safety, although I still feel as though there should be some form of police force, though I know it's harder to fund both
@9LY36KS12mos12MO
We should put more money into training police in higher crime city's and for lower put that money towards community based programs
@96GCKP93yrs3Y
no the police needs as much funding as it can
@926M3CR3yrs3Y
No, but increase required police training and accountability
@8XB5M9T3yrs3Y
If the the funds to the police can go towards retraining them to act in a more fair direct manner especially in light of the BLM movement then the funds should remain with the police, however if that will not be done then the funds should go to community outreach programs which aim to end some of the causes of crime.
@8VHJGSS4yrs4Y
Yes, but I think we should split the funding so we can still have trained officers
Yes, but still enough is left for police to respond to calls
@8TX5MNL4yrs4Y
Yes some of their budgets should be redirected.
@8TV8RPC4yrs4Y
Integrate social programs and medical staff with local police for relevant calls (eg. psych calls, ODs)
Redirect some of the money not all.
@8RF4JLF4yrs4Y
Defund the police and use the money to reduce the national debt
Police should be generally better trained for a longer period of time before becoming fully fledged
increse social programs without defunding police
