Crime is out of control in our major cities. I am vehemently opposed to defunding the police. The reality is that when you defund the police, wealthy and safe neighborhoods do not simply become unprotected–the worse neighborhoods become unlivable. Additionally, defunding the police will lead to skyrocketing trafficking across our country. I believe when we talk about police violence and mistakes, we tend to focus on training and officer safety. Somehow, we need to invest in technology that better allows officers to make traffic stops, protect themselves, and most importantly keep the people they serve protected.
