'Defund police' or reimagine safety? Kamala Harris' record on a historic American issue
Briefly

Harris emphasized the need for investment in public institutions, stating, "We need to recognize that if you invest in communities, they will be healthy, they will be strong, and we won't have a need for the militarization of police." She highlighted that reducing police presence does not equate to eliminating police, urging a practical approach to community safety.
During a discussion on police funding, Harris praised L.A. Mayor Garcetti's plan to redirect $150 million towards social programs, asserting her belief that the status quo of increasing police numbers is fundamentally flawed.
