This is why we need less cops and more social workers

I think that's great. I question some of the calls from other stories I've read but obviously this is helpful to both public and police. 3% of the calls isn't like they are pushing police out.

Defund the police isn’t abolish the police.  It is reduce the funding for the police and shift that money to resources that would be more effective.

We've been through this numerous times. It depends on who is saying it. Many of your political leader think otherwise and now places like Minneapolis are paying the price.

The people advocating for defunding the police are advocating for what Denver is doing.  It is only those trying to discredit the movement who are twisting it.  Just like those kneeling were clear that they weren’t protesting the military just the police.  Quit the bullshit of pretending the messaging isn’t clear.

And Minneapolis didn’t defund the police, the police refused to do their job to protest the public criticism of their brutality.  Minneapolis is an example of a department too corrupt to defund (ala Denver program)  but one that needs a full on Camden NJ fire everyone and then rebuild from square one.
