"Police funding takes up a huge portion of our local budgets. Budgets are moral documents which spell out in black and white what our priorities are," he wrote."We have finite amounts of money to spend and right now we spend far too much on policing and that choice comes at a cost.

Most importantly, to answer the concerns of those who fear a Wild West where there are no rules, Legend clarifies that defunding doesn't mean there will be no police."It means there should be significantly fewer police and more professionals of other types with expertise in their fields, whether it's social work, health care, conflict resolution, drug treatment, etc," he said.
