Defunding Police not working out.

[Secular Elf]

Generally speaking, "defunding" police departments is not so much eliminating police departments as the Rightists claim, but reprioritizing some funding from police to demilitarize them and place some of that funding to other areas, such as education, mental health, and retraining police to use other methods of handling situations other than being trigger happy. We still need policing, yet how policing has been used in the past 50 years or so in how certain responses to crime and how some of those responses have been prioritized is no longer tenable or tolerable. The culture and nature of policing is going to have to change.
