Ahh...the OP article wasn’t clear. They really should not use the word defund then....Then is meant by defunding by 50%?Reform can work yes.
However Cincinnati didn't remove 50% of the police budget and call it "reform".
They made legitimate changes... not just remove half their budget and think that is a good thing
Know the difference their champ.
And BTW - many municipal law enforcement have already adopted many of the ground breaking reforms Cincy did years ago.
Seattle isn't simply going to cut funding and nothing else .
Right, we know that, they're going to cut funding and increase crime.
It's worked elsewhere and will also in Seattle.
How....out of curiosity, how has it worked out? It seems unwise...reform seems like a better avenue.
It's all reform. None of this would be happening if people would have called for and enacted reform long ago. There are still a large number fighting reforms.
The rest will go to mental health professionals. Facilities to care for people. Etc
