George Floyd's death has led to nationwide calls for police reform (Credit: Fibonacci / CC-BY-SA-2.0/ Commons. Wikimeda.org)

The unwarranted death of George Floyd, an unarmed African American man, by a Minneapolis, MN, police officer on May 25, 2020, has reignited the debate about race-based police abuse. Protestors argue that the current law enforcement system encourages systemic racism and are calling for nationwide police reform. In addition to changing the laws, activists are also making a strong case for "defunding the police."

        I know this is older, but I still want to comment. When people say defund the police, we don't mean we want police to go away. We want reform. The police are in charge of too much, if I called the police because I fell and hurt myself or because I saw someone robbing a store at gunpoint, I would get the same people. Those are two very different situations and different people should be trained for each of those. Basically, defund the police as the system is now and fund a system where we have trained individules for different types of emergencies, fund training this people more efficiently, and fund background checks, not everyone should be a cop.

            I don't think the police should be defunded, because yes, Derek Chauvin was a terrible human being, but that doesn't mean ever policeman or policewoman is like that. But the government should put more money into helping underprivileged communities, they just shouldn't take it from the police.

              It said that the police wouldn't go away. BUT they would just slowly and these people aren't thinking about that. They want to be protected, but defunding the police is not going to accomplish that.

                      Things like this should not be happening. God created us and He loves each and every one of us equally. We need to love each other like how God loves us!!!! 🙏
