Don't like the Phrase "Defund the Police" We need reform/reorganization something

[Caliman73]

7. We need to adequately fund Communities.

We need for all Americans to have a safe place to live. It doesn't have to be palatial. We need all Americans to have access to food. We need people to have access to jobs or meaningful activity that can sustain them and connect them to the community. We need people to have access to stigma free, professional mental health services. We need social workers and community organizers to help lead and instill a sense of community into neighborhoods. We need to have education around political literacy and voting so that people have a voice in their community and lives.

All of that can come out of the several billions of dollars that go into arming and equipping police, as well as substantial raises in the amount that the wealthy pay to have a functioning society.

That will decrease the need to fund police to enforce laws and put people in prison. It will likely not eliminate the need for all police, but it can substantially decrease the need to continually expand departments and arm them to the teeth.
