Politics has nothing to do with it. Police are not trained to handle mental health crises. That is why you see police killing so many mentally ill people.

Whenever I need a pick-me-up of civic spirit in Denver I usually go to the central library or the art museum. Both buildings were designed by Big Shot Architects and contain beautiful buffets of soul food.

But the plague has put a crimp on these outlets. So thank you Doktor Zoom for giving me a much needed boost to my civic spirit.

Exactly. "Defund the Police and Use that Money to Fund Other Services" gives dispatchers more options on who to dispatch.

That means less involvement of armed law enforcement, which means people will be more likely to call for help with their neighbor who keeps getting high and causing disturbances, or the couple next door who fight at all hours, without having to worry that the cop that arrives will arrest or shoot someone.

Win-win all around.
