"We need to find a better way to interact as a society, to work with each other, and have the police and the communities that they work with actually work together and talk."

"We must enact reforms that ensure accountability for police misconduct, not defund, or dismantle police departments."

"Defunding of police departments has already happened in a number of American cities and, rather than remedying problems, has actually made conditions much worse."

"Increased funding for police and increased police presence is actually necessary to enforce the law and to guarantee the safety and the security of law-abiding members of those communities."
