Cori Bush to Introduce Bill Replacing Police with ‘Community-Led First Responders’ as Crime Surges
Wendell Husebø 28 Jun 2021
Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) will introduce a bill to replace police officers with “community-led first responders” as crime surges across the nation.
The bill would establish a Division on Community Safety within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to “focus on supporting those disproportionately criminalized by police,” NBC News first reported.
Bush’s legislation comes as crime is surging across America, with Democrat-run cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Portland, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Chicago all witnessing significant spikes in their homicide rates.
“What this will do directly is save lives,” Bush told NBC News. “What we will have done is change the culture, removing their crisis care from one that has to deal with law enforcement to one that actually works with the providers that would take care of them normally, people that understand what they’re facing.”
