This letter originally appeared in The Pantagraph on January 15, 2022.
Police unions quickly labeled the recent police reform bill (HB 3653) a Defund the Police bill. Of course, this is #fakenews. This was almost entirely a reformist police bill. Defunding the police means taking funds & responsibilities away from the police and investing them in alternative structures. Defunding police rejects the notion that every social ill can be fixed by throwing a police officer at it
