[ExI] that's why

[William Flynn Wallace]

Has anyone run the statistics to see just how widespread police brutality
is?  Just guessing:  probably way less than 1% in police-public
interactions.

Defunding police:  exactly the wrong thing to do.  I don't know what their
thinking is on this, but we need more, not less:  1 - better pay equals
better people applying for jobs, 2 - they need to hire or somehow fund the
mental health workers I mentioned in my previous email  3 - they need more
time for training 4 - they need to hire consultants to restructure police
departments and training.  Probably more good reasons.  Defunding could
lower cop pay.  It punishes the 99% plus majority of cops who are never
brutal.  (again, I do not know the statistics)
