Defunding the Police - What does it mean?

Defunding the police - What does it mean? and why is the US police force so different from our own?

One of the demands of protestors since George Floyd’s death is the call to defund the police.Today we dig deeper into this call, and find out what it actually means.

We’ll take you to Atlanta where protestors have hit the streets after Rayshard Brooks was shot dead by police and speak to one of the protest leaders Dionisio Tabora - CEO of Atlanta Protest for Justice.

We find out more about how the Police Forces work in America with David Smith a Senior Lecturer in American Politics at University of Sydney who explains what Defunding the Police means.

In todays headlines:

  • Covid breakthrough. UK study shows cheap steroid reduces coronavirus deaths by a third.
  • As we lift Covid restrictions, second waves are starting overseas.
  • Victorian Premier hands over state party control after branch stacking scandal
  • The Atlanta cop who shot Rayshard Brooks had 12 previous complaints
  • Beer company considering name change after BLM pressure

On Todays episode we ask: What does defunding the police mean? Does it mean there’s no police force? Is it about scraping the forces they have and starting again? How strong have the protests been in Atlanta in the wake of Rayshard brooks shooting? How does the Police force work in America?
