Pastor Corey Books: ‘We Can’t Dismantle the Police and We Should Not Defund the Police’

EXCERPT:

BROOKS: "Well, we definitely need police reform. We can’t dismantle the police and we should not defund the police. But we definitely need reform. I am hoping there will be more transparency, more accountability, as far as allowing cameras being available more frequently to the community and to the public. I’m hoping police will become more involved in the communities than they have been. Not just coming when there is raids or criminal activity but being a part of the community. But there is definitely reform that has to take place and I think that’s something that is shown on both the left and the right. And we have to find the common ground by bringing police to the table, community to the table, politicians to the table. We have to make sure that we reform the police department. They are not all bad police. There are some good police officers and we need to stand by those good officers, but we also need to reform the system."
