Do not cut funds but add a health professional for call on mental health. Or have a trained police always with a mental health expert
No, but current funding should be allocated differently with more emphasis on training officers for situations where they deal with minorities
@95P8Y5L3yrs3Y
only unused funds left over

Police departments should have enough money to operate efficiently, but social and community based programs seem feasible to stop crime as it stops it at the root.

No, redirect funding in police to train for de-escalation and other types of training

Yes, but most funding should go toward increased training for all police departments

The media should stop fixing peoples brains.
Depending on the location of the police department, a high crime area should be supported financially , while funds for low crime areas should be redirected.
