9. The "defund police" plan puts more funding into treatment of addiction

so sure police can take down someone who is violent and dangerous, but treating root causes should hopefully be more of a preventive measure so fewer people are running around high on PCP. Social workers can hopefully remove kids from a house full of drugs and put them someplace safer. and so on. GOP think about these problem differently because they don't have to encounter the families impacted by it like many urban folks do.
