> putting that time toward actually cleaning up neighborhoods or tutoring underprivileged youth EDIT: Before you downvote what I say below, read about the Defund the Police movement. Start with the wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defund_the_police https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defund_the_police This is EXACTLY what the Defund Police movement is about. It's recognizing that half of city budgets are used for policing and some of those resources instead could be used to cleanup the neighborhoods and teach children. If policing takes half the budget and nobody wants to raise taxes, then clearly to get resources to do other things, like teach underprivileged youth and cleanup neighborhoods, you must take away from some group, and since police take up such a HUGE part of the budget and they already do things they shouldn't be doing (like dealing with mental health issues), then it's clear we must reduce police budgets to free up resources. EDIT: Before you downvote, take a moment to actually research why people are wanting to defund the police. And If I'm wrong, show me.
