we need the police, and if we can't figure out how we can balance the police funding and the funding of other programs, thinking that abolishing the police is a good idea is insane.

Urban and rural need two different approaches. Urban policing should defund some programs to fund some social programs. Rurally we need more police.

I think that some resources should be redirected within departments to assist with training officers to deal with social issues and non-violent offenders better.
Funding for police should stay but funding needs to be available for social and community programs. Police should work with social workers.
@8VVZDF24yrs4Y
reduce funding for police and increase by same amount funding to social services
@8VLFMVT4yrs4Y
Both should have equal funding
@8SFJJPG4yrs4Y
if money is removed from government funding, they still have to make $, thus more speed traps and a police state...I see no winner here.
@8R4KM774yrs4Y
No, increase training, and time required to join in to decrease corruption in the force
@8QLK2WP4yrs4Y
Yes, every race deserves to feel safe when the police arrive
@98FW6SK2yrs2Y
Keep police funding and provide better training, while also investing in social programs.
@97V8R4B2yrs2Y
only a little of the funding you dumbasses
