Anyone who ever advanced abolishing police is a fucking idiot and using the phrasing of defund is equally ignorant. (Yes I know what it means, but present it correctly)
I am 100% on board with purging departments of the bad elements, and channeling more resources to increased training (mediation tactics, non-lethal restraint techniques, I.E Jiu Jitsu, etc) and providing more (and mandatory) behavioral health support for officers. In addition, there should be mandatory down time periods where officers are taken off the streets for periods of time, similar to how soldiers are cycled in and out of combat zones.
I have posted about it in other threads, it is one of the hardest jobs in this country and resources should be channeled to helping officers perform it better, because the overwhelming majority care about their job and want to do it well.
