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
For any sort of call, you need TRAINED PROFESSIONALS. doesn't matter what type of call, a professional should be the one there. second, nothing in the force can be assumed, any call could go awry. any moment something crazy could happen where a firearm is required. Like this one video I saw, an officer was doing a basic traffic stop, when suddenly a stranger pulled up beside them and rushed the officer with a hatchet. no matter what, a trained, armed professional should take a call, big emphasis on the trained part.
