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
Some non-violent calls can quickly turn into life threatening situations, this has been displayed several times, as if a unarmed officer is sent into a situation, that is seemingly safe, it rapidly can turn into a deadly situation in which they get ambushed or a gun drawn on them, and they are left defenseless.
