More from the WA Coalition for Police Accountability on opposing this bill: “This bill is siphoning money from the general fund – that could be used for investments in violence interruption programs, mental health treatment, providing substance-abuse-treatment facilities, access to affordable housing, and emergency financial assistance for those experiencing financial instability – all interventions that have been shown to reduce community violence.”
