Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?
Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls
Non violent calls have the potential to develop into violent situations, and unarmed individuals are not equipped for the potentiality of violence.

There are plenty of other jobs that are trained to handle violent people without the use of deadly force, so armed police is obviously not necessary.
