Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?
No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities
their will always be on some level an abuse of power, a breaking of the law. We cant forever maintain perfection, to suggest its possible is folly. But this police officer, men and women, the only two genders, protect you and risk their lives everyday. Those Firefighters, paramedics, and social workers, whom you seem to revere, will not enter a dangerous situation, they wait till the cops secure the situation. I can also promise you you do not see the absolute vileness of humanity almost every single day, as many cops do. You do not now the horror they go through, just so you can live your life without fear. Many of them have severe mental, physical, and finical issue, as if you are a cop, unless you are a high ranking member of the force, you will be making a lot of money. Also, I bet you didn't know this its the sherif county, who runs the correctional facilty, their freaking cops. Imgine fiends like Ted Bundy, and rapists prowling the streets. The reason you don't have to live with those beasts is because of cops. So freak you. if you disband the police force, then I would demand that for any situation you handle it yourself or call you local social worker, who by the way I do not believe they are open 24/7. Good luck and god speed. I regonize that this is just basicly a more enleagth paragraph of other arguments, but I just wanted to give my two sense.
