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
Bad things happen that require specific responses, and we do not live in a world where the police can be replaced. I am all for working on the problems which result in the need for the police and believe the job should be higher paid and the systems reformed to help them serve the people better. The idea of replacing the police leaves too many questions and holes to be filled in order for it to be effective and not cause adverse side effects.
