RE: Defunding the Cops
“Defund the police” movement has resulted in smaller police budgets, making the department worried about understaffing which will challenge them to keep their communities safe. Police morale is at its lowest ebb. The movement ironically wants funds from police departments to be allocated to social services, youth services, housing, education, healthcare and other community resources. This I believe is a bad idea. Police excesses should be controlled but they should not be in the receiving end while maintaining law and order.
