No, unless excessive funding is being given to police in a particular community at the expense of education and other beneficial social programs. Most of the time it is not that one needs to take from another, but that both need more attention.
@8JQR5ZZ4yrs4Y
Yes, police should not be abolished however, they should no be called for all situations such as mental health crisis as they are not trained to deal with all matters.
@8NVH9PW4yrs4Y
I'm mixed on this. I do want the funding to go to other programs but only if it helps the other programs and doesn't completely destroy the police.
@8LXNRNM4yrs4Y
No, increase funding and make them train longer than a barber.
@8HW7NQ94yrs4Y
Increase training of police AND social and community based programs.
@8NBW5VX4yrs4Y
i believe some cops are good and some are bad but having untrained people come and tryto fight our crime is too risky
@8M7WLY44yrs4Y
When better service can be provided.
@8NLCFW44yrs4Y
they should have more restrictions and the government should be more strict about how the police does their job
