After looking over the earlier post regarding the BLM's Annual Report, I started rummaging around on Google to get more info...by chance I came across a reference on their website regarding "Defunding the Police" and a video explaining what they meant by the term (see following link).

Then, I did some more searching on "De-Funding Police" and, Lo-and-Behold, I came across the linked article from the 'Charles Koch Institute'. Maybe I'm the last one to see this, but my jaw dropped just a bit when I read it. Now, putting these two pieces together, perhaps we can come together on a path forward...BLM wants some limited funds (e.g. their 5% example in the video) re-directed to mental health assistance and other community services, and the Koch Institute advocates for a reduction in spending on SWAT teams...I see 'common ground' here...do you?

BTW, Eugene Oregon's PD has been following this path for several years with near unanimous support from police and community representatives.
