    In my experience, social worker programs are only understaffed because they are severely underfunded.

      And we cycle back to “defund the police” being a bad slogan when we want to direct some of that law enforcement funding to support personal welfare

        Maybe they should have borrowed corporate lingo to call for right-sizing police, or restructure community resources.

        “Defund the police” is such obviously bad marketing that it makes you wonder if the people who coined the phrase were trying to help or hinder reform efforts.
