In Canada there is a push to defund the police. Are you guys getting any of that there?
Many are suggesting to take that money and use it in poor neighbourhoods, use the cash for jobs etc. At $125k a year for police plus big benefits and pension, and a poor city and province, I'm guessing this is going to gain more and more traction.
Didn't they just increase gun restrictions in your nation...sounds like a plan for success!
It seems we are not alone. Wow.

Lizzo, John Legend, Jane Fonda and more celebs sign 'open demand' letter to 'defund' the police
Lizzo, John Legend, Common, Jane Fonda and
the Weeknd are just a handful of the celebrities who have signed an open letter demanding local governments to stop providing increases in funds to police.
The letter, released by Black Lives Matter co-founder and activist Patrisse Cullors, is in conjunction with Movement 4 Black Lives, a coalition of over 100 black rights organizations, according to Rolling Stone.
The "open demand" letter to "defund" the police requests that governments quit increasing police budgets and instead redistribute those funds to spend on health care, neighborhood infrastructure and education to help support communities across the country, particularly black communities, the
outlet said.
