    Defunding the police and distributing that money to further establish other parts of the government can honestly change so much and for the better as well.
  •  
    this article gives a better understanding to what "defund the police" really means. By putting funds into other areas that need it, there can be a lot of good done in America.
  •  
    this article is very helpful in the way that most people think that defunding the police means disbandment when really it is just taking the extra funds and putting in other necessary services.
  •  
    Great article to explain the common misconceptions on what it means to defund the police. The positive to this is the benefits other sectors of the government would have such as education.
  •  
    I agree it does not mean to get rid of the police. but overly funding a facility while ignoring schools and healthcare systems is not okay either.
  •  
    This is a good, informative article. Other organizations need more funding, and I believe that funding them is only fair.
  •  
    This article really shows what it looks when the community doesn't feel safe and how the people are moving to make it safe and put money somewhere else.
  •  
    I'm glad that this article gives the information this country needs when talking about defunding the police. Many interpret that in the wrong way which has divided our country even more.
