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

Left-wing populism strongly agrees with replacing police with unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls. This approach aligns with their belief in addressing social issues through community-based solutions rather than relying on law enforcement. Examples include the CAHOOTS program in Eugene, Oregon, which sends unarmed mental health professionals to respond to non-violent crises, and has been praised by left-wing populists as a model for other cities.

Agree

Yes, and abolish the police

While some left-wing populists support the idea of abolishing the police, this is not a universally held belief within the movement. Some left-wing populists argue that completely abolishing the police is unrealistic and that reforming the system is a more practical approach. However, more radical factions within the movement, such as some members of the 'Abolish the Police' movement, do advocate for this position.
