How is reducing police budgets going to reduce police brutality? Seems to me with less budget you are going to have less but more overworked cops (crime levels are not dropping!) who are going to be more on edge and brutal! *Increase* funding and standards to be a cop, more training and pysc evals more often, so only the very best have that job and any small screw up means they are fired instantly. Unless the argument is let crime increase some?
