Why are you bringing the debate about young people into this thread as well? Is there anything that isn't young people's fault?

As stated, Seph, nobody's saying get rid of the police or remove all funding, that's a misrepresentation of the argument. However it's clear that, where America is concerned, the police have largely failed in their job to prevent crime. The disproportionate responses, particularly amongst black people, has gone on too long with too little done. It's clear that spending money doing the same things over and over isn't working, so it's time to spend some of that money elsewhere.

Preventative action is better and cheaper than reactive action.
