Santa Ana Police is the Sth most violent <br />department in the country. The time has come to defund the police. Rather, our city needs a radical increase for <br />funding towards community services and healthcare. We need youth programs, increased mental health <br />services, neighborhood infrastructures, childcare, and community outreach for those who need these services <br />most. We need more funds for rehabilitation and the re-entry process for formerly incarcerated individuals, and <br />to help increase employment and education rates. Santa Ana, and Orange County as a whole, needs to build a <br />society that does not need the level of policing. I join in solidarity with the freedom fighters all over the country <br />and call for the end to police terror. I call for defending of police and for those dollars to be rerouted to <br />strengthen community health system. <br />Sincerely, <br />Saul Montano <br />
