[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They need fewer responsibilities to go with that. It's hard to find someone who makes a good security detail, psychologist, investigator, and social worker all in one. That's how I understand "defund the police". Shrink 'police' back to those security functions and hire other people to handle things they are better suited to do.[/quote] I think that's fair too. But regardless, they need more money (IF it goes towards training). I don't understand why the issue is so complicated. If we train you more (refine your job role) and you have better tools, once you mess up ( abuse your power) you're on the hook. [/quote] Training budgets are within our local control but accountability is a much deeper problem. Check out the US attorney for DC (not accountable to DC) and qualified immunity for a couple of examples. It's a lot easier to divert funding to other people that we don't call 'police'. We can also do both.[/quote]
