Defunding Police

But here we are, society is heavily militarized not just in the U.S but everywhere. No one respects the police anymore because they're supposed to be protecting us not the other way around.

Logically, the police don't murder "innocent people."

Name one person shot by a police officer that wasn't committing some kind of crime when it occurred.

Also, I get that the "defund" word distracts from the discussion. Yes, mental health programs and all that need to be spun up. But sending social workers in lieu of police into potentially dangerous situations is already proving deadly. Look to Seattle. A social worker sent to a welfare check was stabbed to death.
