“There’s no city in the world that does not have police departments. What you need are — I didn’t call for more money for police departments. I called for police departments that have well-educated, well-trained, well-paid professionals,” Sanders told The New Yorker. “Anyone who thinks that we should abolish all police departments in America, I don’t agree.”
Sanders, an independent from Vermont, wants to “redefine” police departments because officers often deal with people struggling with issues like mental illness or addiction that “should be dealt with by mental-health professionals.”
