California State Senate Bill SB731 will give the state power to take police officers badge for crimes and serious misconduct. California is one of five states without that authority. Is decertification better than defunding police departments? Is there another solution? What are your thoughts?

Another point that is lost, is that Police Departments are also on the Front Lines for Terrorism, Domestic and Global something that wasn‘t really part of their mandate 20 years ago. Defunding seems like a terrible mistake.
