    I don’t think this is defunding. This is using resources better. Often times, there are mental health crisis that look like “police” issues. But they are actually just mental health problems.

    Mental health is super heavily stigmatized across the world.

      Part of “defund the police” includes “fund mental health services” using the money that used to pay for police and police accessories.
