Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?

Yes

There have been many cases to support why defunding would be necessary, such as the death of George Floyd. Although there are cops that claim he was a threat, they handled that claim by suffocating him. As well as this, the creation of Cop City in Atlanta has alarmed people due to its frightening nature.

What's the alternative to police? If you have an emergency, an intruder in your home, or you see somebody get shot, who would you call to help? If the police are defunded, there won't be as many officers to reply and arrive to the scene fast enough, there will be a limited amount of squad cars, and there won't be enough money for proper training for the officers. Neighborhood watch communities can only do so much, the police can end conflict in an efficient manner.

Here's the deal.

LEOs are NOT legally responsible for the service or protection of civilians, as per US Supreme Court.

LEOs are supposed to report or react to a crime.

Our second amendment is what we use.

A well run militia, NOT army or guard.
