The author is pretty stupid to put out a weird point of view on defunding the police, he seems to think it's already done & there are less cops or something so crime is high? Is he nuts?
From wiki-
"
Police officers may be particularly badly suited for some community issues, such as mental health crises.[50] However, 1 in 4 people who are killed by the police have severe mental illness. Some activists argue that, if someone is experiencing a mental health crisis, and if there is no emergent threat to themselves or other people, mental health professionals may be more adept and capable responders. Furthermore, if more funds were diverted to help treat and support those with mental health issues, there could be better outcomes"
Also he's talking as if defunding(which he thinks) has already happened, what a dimwit.
