I’ve been reading about the push to defund police departments and I for one think it is a fantastic idea. It is one of those rare situations where everyone wins.

First, identify those communities that do not trust, do not cooperate, and fear the police. Let’s say for the sake of argument that is 30% of the area of Columbus. Take spray paint and create a line of demarcation to identify where police will never enter or respond to problems. Defund the police department by the cost of 30% of the on the ground police force. Use the remaining 70% of funds to protect the people who what police protection. As those areas typically have less crime in essence they will have better police protection. So see, everybody wins!
