According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, more than half of those that make it into the criminal justice system have serious mental health problems. Possibly part of police training might be a year of mental health education including deescalation techniques. Giving police tools in additional to guns and clubs may prove to be very effective. To enact major changes in the way we do policing is going to take a lot of trial and error. I seriously doubt the public and tax payers are going to be that supportive because defunding the police does not equate spending less money to protect the community. It will cost more not less.Social workers can’t even get CYFD right. They sure as hell aren’t going to do “ policing” right.Nobody is dumb enough to just do away with the police there will be a transition to a new operation that will also be police and social workers and god-knows-what.better than we have now and a lot safer for blacks. On the other hand the Republican base is dumb enough to believe the Democrats wants to just do away with the police without putting something in to replace them. You brainwashed functional morons are totally misinformed as always.Bad idea. Defunding police is the only police reform Americans don’t like...just wait until they are completely dismantled...

The good news is that public opinion is very open to a wide array of reforms to curtail racist policing.www.google.com
