[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this so-called “defunding” movement is being driven largely by the emotions of the moment. The proposal is understandable, but it’s not practical. Without the police, where would feuding neighbors turn? Where would victims of domestic abuse turn? Where would the burglarized homeowner or business owner turn? The list could go on and on. We need the police to prevent from descending into chaos and anarchy.

The police shouldn’t go. It’s the current policing culture that needs to change.

I’m guardedly optimistic that what we’re seeing and participating in today will ultimately lead to a meaningful change in that culture.[/quote]

What you mean. All you have to do is send an Emt and a social worker in. Nbd /s[/quote]

You’re going to send an EMT and social worker into a home in which a husband is actively beating the crap out of his wife, or pistol whipping her with a loaded weapon?

You’re going to send an EMT and social worker into a store that’s been robbed?

You’re going to send an EMT and social worker to deal with a reckless driver doing 115 mph on the Beltway?

You’re going to send an EMT and social worker into the middle of the next mass shooting to deal with a heavily-armed active shooter?

This list could go on, too...[/quote]
