Asked whether they would back cuts in funding for police departments, 65 percent of Americans said no. Just 16 percent said yes — a number that held steady across party lines, with Democrats at 16 percent, Republicans at 15 percent and independents at 17 percent.

Reform, reorganization, and cleaning out the police force of racist cops is one thing, but I do not think this will go very far

It's time they're reigned in. Police take oath to serve and protect the public, NOT to inflict brutality upon citizens.

Oooo, the mafia goons that make up the bulk of the NYPD ain't gonna like th...wait, SIX BILLION DOLLARS???

‘defund’ but push reform for law enforcement, it could be THE signature issue for 2020. People are clearly passionate as evidenced in the massive protests. We are going to see these protests go on for a long time, and they are spreading beyond the large cities. Here in my corner of Arkansas, we’ve already seen protests in two small towns (approx population of 70k each), and over 1,000 showed up for each. I think we’ll see them spread to more purple and red states.

Just imagine Biden starts showing up at these massive protests, and it could rival anything Trump puts together. Then, when Biden tabs his VP, she can do the protest rallies herself.

Maybe a good idea.

show up for a guy selling loosie cigarettes, definitely needs to cut back on their police department. So many videos I've seen in the last few years show an excessive amount of police showing up for very minor situations. Bored, idle cops are often easy to trigger. A lot of this money would be better spent elsewhere. The same with a lot of our prisons. Use that money for community programs and real rehabilitation.

a shift of half the defense spending into the infrastructure which imo includes public schools as well as roads, bridges and dams.

….Mayor De-blah-blah. Because he talks so slick and then whatever he promised, doesn't happen.
