Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?
Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls
This is why our nation is going downhill.

We Shouldn't defund the police. The police need training on dealing with high-crisis situations involving the opposite race. And the police Department should not uphold their policemen when they have done something wrong.

Training is key to improving police-community relations. In Camden, New Jersey, the police department was disbanded and restructured with an emphasis on community policing and de-escalation training. As a result, violent crime reduced significantly.

I disagree. Without the police, we would basically be defenseless. Sure, we have guns to defend ourselves but if they are going to try and defund our police, then what will stop them from taking away our right to own guns? And for all of the people trying to defund the police, think about that as someone breaks into your house or tries to hurt you and your family and think about who your going to call to protect your family because with the way our country is going, our police won't be there to do that.
