And I am all for pulling funds away from the cops to build specific departments who handle family disputes, missing pets, handling drunk people and mental patients, even traffic violations in a more civilized manner, rather than having a bunch of cops potentially jacked up on testosterone shots entering every goddamn situation with guns drawn, ready to shoot someone.
And all that military gear needs to go. No police force needs to go into every situation armed like an occupation force.
(On a side note, I'm not a Democrat. I just vote for them, often begrudgingly, out of practical necessity. I am much farther to the left of mainstream Democratic Party by ideology and disposition.)
