Yes, wherever possible; but, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities.
@9PF66DZ12mos12MO
No, funding for police departments and for social and community based programs should both be increased
@8PBXF7B5yrs5Y
Funding should be increased for both
@9MDM22F1yr1Y
Social and community based programs should have their budget increased, but that shouldn’t come from the police.
@8SMYX6Q4yrs4Y
@9DKQS9H2yrs2Y
No. The funding for social and community programs should be increased in any case

I think that part of the funding should be redirected but I also think that the fundamental mentality and systemic issues in the police force need to be dealt with.
