" SPD officials say 56 percent of its response calls are non-criminal in nature. "
Has anyone seen what the new plan is to deal with those 'non-criminal' situations? Seriously, who's going to respond to criminal activity, especially when violence is on-going or imminent? Fewer cops or no cops is an invitation to organized crime and street gangs, it's like having a gun-free zone; guess where the terrorists go to kill people. And who's going to respond in those situations, who's going to confront the shooters? A social worker?
Nothing wrong with trying to utilize your public safety people more effectively, in non-violent circumstances. But if you don't have sufficient numbers of armed cops by whatever name you call them, then you're going to have a safety problem in your city. No cops does not result in no violence.
