EditName Wrote: So Defunding Police subject has been huge in USA. A lot of people support and at the same time a lot do not.
What does it mean to defund the police? It is stated as "Defunding the police doesn't necessarily mean that all funding would be taken away from the department, but some funds would be divested from the department and invested in other programs.". (source)
Is this something you see it going at or do you think they will get rid of the police? If they get rid of the police then who takes over?
I think the proposed idea is that they'll be able to create emergency teams that are more suited to mental health crises of all sorts and that know how to properly handle situations like this. That being said, I want them to defund it....
