Who got defunded? Their budget was still nearly $20 million dollars annually. Teachers and other municipal workers are forever told to do more with less, so why wasn’t that good enough for police?

Irrespective, I’d double their their budget if most of that money went to continuing education/training and they gave up qualified immunity.

I agree, I do believe police need to be trained for far longer and more thoroughly. It should be a minimum of two years of police training in my opinion.
