Defund the Police?
Quote from Steve on July 10, 2020, 7:44 amCoast-to-coast, from Vancouver to Charlottetown, P.E.I., Canadian cities are spending 15 to 20 per cent or more of their budget on law enforcement, the bulk of it coming from municipal taxes. Cities that do not have a municipal force were excluded from the analysis.
Cries to defund the police have rung out in protests across the United States, sparked by the death of George Floyd, seen in a video pleading and gasping for air as a white Minneapolis police officer pressed a knee against his neck -- long after he had already gone silent.
I think they should defund them by getting rid of half of them. Have them submit to psychological testing to determine if they suitable for job. They can use some of the money for re-training, so they learn to serve and protect.
