In the wake of the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, and after so many other wrongful use of law-enforcement force in recent years, there arose out of another American crisis a number of opportunities for reform.
It was partly the fault of lousy slogans such as the unfortunate term “Defund the police.” Even if what that really meant was “Change the way we fund our police departments by providing more funding to other ways of ensuring greater public safety,” that subtlety was lost in all the noise. The need to redeploy monies to fund more mental health professionals trained to deal with such people is apolitically clear. It just got lost in the national shouting match about Black Lives Matter and the Thin Blue Line.Well, to borrow another slogan from the political civil wars, “By any means necessary.” Because a new analysis by CalMatters shows that simple finances may make it imperative that California cities adjust the way that we now pay for police officers.
And, yes, it’s working: “After receiving 170 applications from all over the country, the Alameda Police Department now has enough officers enrolled in academies to bring its projected total vacancies down to 10 by early next year.”
