Funding needs to be based on the area. Funding also needs to be assigned to social and community programs to help reduce crime and in turn can lead reduced spending foe the police
@8JDBBPB6yrs6Y
No. Maintain funding. Require stricter standards of hiring and intimidate community oversight. Also have the police force reflect community demographics.
@8CBVDPG6yrs6Y
No, but have have police go through a most strict training and mental evaluation to determine their stability and ability to do their job without using bias
@8D4979G6yrs6Y
yes, but to a certain point, like the funding should be decreased not all of it be redirected.
@8JYHPGF6yrs6Y
No, police officers need this money to be trained on how to properly deal with mental health situations, and deal with crime in their area.
@8PTVYLW5yrs5Y
No, police should instead be trained to respond in non-violent situations in order to mitigate police issues
@B7CLL8D7mos7MO
I think it has less to do with funding, and more about reevaluating the system as a whole, breaking it down, and changing things, more training, new approaches, better background checks (I.e who someone is as a person as opposed to their criminal history) etc.
@8NS88GD5yrs5Y
No, give police departments should be given more training but some increased funding should still be given to community based programs.
