There should be a balance between the funds towards the police and the funds towards the social community programs which could benefit more in certain areas
@9H4FWLX1yr1Y
Police funding should be have funds redirected into ways to help and sevice the community such as adding licensef therapist to the department and focus on mental health training and descalization
@9DVW99Q1yr1Y
No, instead of lowering funding for police departments, invest additional funds in these social programs.
@96C7CTL2yrs2Y
Found more police training and found more social community things
@9698M3G2yrs2Y
No, funding should either be the same or increased to help the police with mental health and integration with society. Of course, there should also be more spent of social and community based programs at the same time
@8ZNHYR73yrs3Y
Yes, but just a part of it if there is more need of that than the police.
@8TRVM273yrs3Y
No, but increase those programs too.
@8RN2V7J4yrs4Y
I think that the police is important and we shouldnt abolish it but funding towards to community would be more productive
