While I'm asking questions, when will some of you be able to grasp the concept that "defunding" means reallocating funds where it can be better used. It does not mean not paying and not providing police with everything they need.
You are assuming the person is not a "threat" if he is running away. How do you know he is unarmed? How do you know he/she will not be a threat if he gets away. It was mentioned that some cities would reallocate police funds to use Social Workers instead of police. Good luck with that. Most of these law breakers run for a reason, and must be stopped before they do more harm. Don't Run, Don't get shot. Very simple rule.
