“More police don’t make our communities safe,” Austin said.
“We want to make sure police behave the right way. But we also want to make sure we’re getting safety,” he said. The City Council, meanwhile, is exploring other ways to reduce the city resources that flow into the police department. That might mean not replacing retired officers, or closing the city jail.
Don't defund? Look at their books and look what is a waste of money and reallocate those funds?
I don’t think the solution to police brutality/racial profiling is to defund them. Good and dependable policemen/policewomen outnumber the rotten ones. The key is to tighten recruitment and training criteria.
What about a different approach police reform? For example should we have a third party investigate cases involving police shootings?
Nobody wants to defund the police. Stop it.
More like demilitarization of our police forces would be a better idea.
How about funding fathers to raise their kids....or even better, fathers and mothers being sober and raising children? Or even better, keeping families together to raise better citizens so that police don't have to get involved
Lansing in general struggles

Why is “defund” in quotes ? That’s exactly what they’re asking for. And of course it’s a struggle for anyone who thinks logically.
You don’t. It was a dumb idea made by dumb people to begin with.
Hire more case workers
How to deal with crimes?
Defunding the police is not the answer.
The Liberal Paradox. LOL
Nobody with any brains wants to defund the police it's about finding an organization they can protect everybody not just go out and kill some people.😡
Well funding the police isn't working either so hey at least save some money
How are the social worker squads doing? It’s been over a year and I have not heard a thing.
Las leyes deben modificarse.
Creo que es alli la equivocacion . La policia debe velar por cuidar la ciudad pero cuando es sublevacion deberis actuar el ejercito.
Step one is taking a zoomed out view of the cause of systemic violence which is directly related to traditional policing and “proactive” crime control.
How about the filthy scumbag criminals stop committing crimes.
Reallocating resources, if that’s what happens, is not “defunding” the police. Not only is term incorrect, it is provocative, brought some dismay to voters for House seats in 2020 causing D loss of 13 seats. Leaving smallest majority in history. jonschuppe jonallendc
I mean if the police would stop brutalizing people there would be less violence
Because that slander isn’t the answer.
Don’t! Defunding the police is asinine. How do you do gooder libs not understand that?
You don’t. It’s a stupid idea. Leave the democrat party ASAP
You’re derailing efforts every time you use the word “defund.” MSNBC should be helping the cause, not creating more controversy. Find another word to advance the concept and then use your influence to mainstream it. Geez! It’s not that hard! Be part of the solution!
Republicans say defund - Democratic leaders need to choose a more positive word that accurately describes its true meaning, like “Restructure” (or a similar word that doesn’t imply taking money away). Lead to change for the betterment of all❗️
Defund the police....Democrat leaders support it yet they will retreat to their gated communities with a private security detail....
Well, for one thing, we wouldn't have Richard Nixon to kick around anymore!!
The replies to this tweet are by liberals who don't understand the problems. The activists actually want police departments disbanded. The other liberals don't know how to handle it.
Go ahead and play Russian roulette and let’s see how it turns out - might not be pretty
The answer is not to defund but to retrain. Protect and serve has become opress and subjugate. A rebranding of sorts
Quit negative, fear mongering “defund”! Use reform!
Stop calling it defunding which pushes people’s buttons and incites fear of lawlessness. It’s separating social work from policing.
How about, don’t.
Answer: Don’t defund, instead, REFORM police background checks, psychological investigations, more social training, longer & more life-saving, stringent physical tactical training (at least two years), and Federal minimums for specific areas of training.
Nobody wants to defund the police. They want to make their job law enforcement, not mental health counseling or drug abuse help.
