福克斯新闻 11岁枪支暴力受害者的祖父表示,许多人"不珍惜生命"(3)

You need police to run those calls. So you just start having less police officers who are gonna come when there is a need for police services. But what I will say, we have to find money for the additional services that everybody would like to have. There are calls that come into the police department that should not go to the police. These certain calls to go to other agencies that can deal with maybe mental health, or one of those calls when it comes to ticketing here in DC we have property where officers call - police call - special police or security are called for ticketing instead of calling the police. They can call a company that comes out and ticket cars. The money should go to those different agencies. Where can you get that money from?

警察需要去管理。警察数量少了，那需要动用警力时的人手就少了。但我想说的是，我们必须寻找资金来提供人人都需要的额外服务。警察局接到了一些来电，而这些来电并不应该打给警察局。这些电话应该打给其他机构，可能是解决心理健康的机构，电话打来叫特警或保安被派去开交通罚款单，而不是要报警。他们可以打给开交通罚款单的公司。这些钱应该流向不同的机构。那钱从哪里来呢？

We have millions of dollars that are generated through red light cameras, speed cameras and other ways we receive money in, in the DC metropolitan¹ area. Why can't we get money and just put it to those agencies? But to remove money from the police department, I think is not good. And also they spoke² about taking police and some security out of the schools. That is a big mistake. I'd tell you that one time - I think, a couple of years ago they were talking about let's arm the teachers in the schools and these guys have no good training.

我们在华盛顿市区收到的闯红灯罚款就有几百万美元，还有其他的渠道可以获取资金。我们为什么不把钱给到这些机构呢？而是把钱从警察局转走，我觉得这样做不太好。他们还说要将学校里的警察和保安请走。这是个致命的错误。我告诉你——几年前，他们就说要给学校里的老师配上武器，而这些人并没有受过良好的培训。
