"Defund the Police" Movement

The "Defund the Police" movement has been a largely controversial topic that has remained popular over the last couple of years.

While defunding the police would mean taking and allocating funds elsewhere, such as better mental health care, care of the homeless, etc., some believe that defunding the police means abolishing police entirely.

As of January 2022, at least 13 cities across the United States have defunded police. When asked why, the reasons were the same: to transfer money to the community.
