some of it, how much on a case by case basis
@8YCYGK93yrs3Y
No, just cut the police and save the money.
@8VX7HSS4yrs4Y
some of the funding should go to social and community based programs
@8VGVTB94yrs4Y
Increase funding and training for police departments around the country and also redirect some funding towards social and crisis based forces trained to deal with certain situations
@8VB6DSM4yrs4Y
Funding to maintain (and use existing funding to support police training) and any new increases be redirected to social and community based programs and services (including social workers)
@8SLS73S4yrs4Y
should be both the police are too aggressive when it just a little problem with no arms involve and we need more support in all communities whatever the skin colors and background !
@8SL99XN4yrs4Y
No, but reform of police and increased accountability and funding + training to train officers to not use excessive, unneeded force.
@8R3SFYZLibertarian4yrs4Y
Funding for the police should be spent on better training for officers instead of more equipment
@9BFR5WS2yrs2Y
Neither should happen, it is overfunded but the extra money should be put back in the taxpayers pocket
@98PQTLX2yrs2Y
No, because it would be a waste of government money just by being paid by taxes citizens paid for
