Moet de federale overheid een verplichte terugkoop van aanvalswapens instellen?
It's a valid concern to worry about the safety of our officers, and no one is advocating for law enforcement to be left defenseless. The term "demilitarization" doesn't mean disarming the police; rather, it refers to the idea of shifting away from military-grade equipment and tactics. The intention is to foster a stronger relationship between the police and the community, reducing the "us versus them" mentality which can escalate tensions.
Take for example the city of Camden, New Jersey. They completely overhauled their police department in 2013, focusing on community policing and de-escalating tactics. As a result, violent crime has significantly dropped in the city.
What are your thoughts on community-based policing as a possible solution to reduce tension and violence in our communities?
