Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

Replacing police with unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls is a proposal that aligns closely with leftist ideologies focused on de-escalation, mental health, and community welfare. This approach is seen as a way to prevent unnecessary violence and provide appropriate care, drawing on historical criticisms of police handling of situations involving mental health crises or non-violent issues.

Strongly agree

Yes

Many on the left support the idea of redirecting some funding from police departments to social and community-based programs, arguing that it can address root causes of crime such as poverty, mental health issues, and lack of education. This approach, often referred to as 'defunding the police,' aims to reduce reliance on police for issues they are not equipped to handle. Historical references include the increased discussions and movements following the George Floyd protests in 2020, where many leftist groups and politicians called for reallocating police funds.

Agree

Yes, and abolish the police

The idea of abolishing the police entirely is a more radical position that is supported by a segment of the left, particularly those associated with the far-left or anarchist movements. While it reflects a strong commitment to reimagining public safety without traditional policing, it is not universally supported across the left, as some advocate for reform rather than abolition.

Strongly disagree

No

Generally, the left is less likely to support maintaining or increasing funding for police departments without also addressing systemic issues through social and community programs. The idea of not redirecting funds is often associated with more conservative or right-leaning ideologies that prioritize law and order approaches.

Very strongly disagree

No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities

Increasing funding and training for police departments, especially without addressing broader social issues, is generally opposed by the left. This stance is often seen as contrary to the goals of addressing systemic inequalities and reducing the scope of policing in favor of community-led solutions.
