[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Reducing funding” as far as I understand it (and I sat through a 3 hour candidate forum yesterday afternoon where this came up) is more about trying to involve mental health professionals in the huge percentage of calls where that is what is needed vs police coming in to arrest people.[/quote]

Crime is escalating out of control.  We don't have enough mental health professionals in the world to contain the problem.  This is not a viable plan and EVERYONE knows that. [/quote]

No one said cut all police funding. It is more about trying to balance funding a little.

Rs love to talk about mental health yet put no dollars behind it[/quote]

You're right, no one said that, so why are you saying that?

We should not be reducing police funding for some quixotic attempt at using therapists to solve the issues in our communities. One, because we don't have enough of them, and two, because this is experimental and hasn't been done anywhere at the scale being attempted here.

We need to use proven policing strategies and get this back in order. We aren't safe anymore. [/quote]

We aren't safe because way too many people have guns.

Find a country on the planet that has as many gun deaths as we do. You can't.

Why? Because NO OTHER COUNTRY LETS ANYONE GET GUNS.

Too many guns makes no one safe. Period. [/quote]

Then they should he introducing legislation or taking actions toward that goal. They literally quit trying.  Pathetic. If the democrats won't try to pass gun control, who will? [/quote]
