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
Imagine the situation where a not a good person with a gun shows up and starts shooting. If you particularly have peaceful calls, do you realistically believe that this is attainable? No it isn't. And even if it was non-violent calls, imagine it's a surprise attack. There's a saying better to be safe than sorry. You want to take that risk then go for it.
