福克斯新闻 废除警察局与取消对警察的资金支持有何区别?(1)

But we begin tonight with Raeisha Williams. Ms. Williams, good evening and thank you for being here to tell your story. As a member of that community in Minneapolis, do you want to see a police presence maintained in your community? Absolutely, absolutely, and I want to make a correction, I'm not for dismantling¹, I'm for defunding, which are two very different things. So, explain, what is the difference and what do you want to see actually happen? Yeah, so dismantling is to make something completely different of new and defunding is doing just what it's talking about. It's taking funds out of one pot of funding and moving it over. Well, when I talk about defunding, I'm talking about moving funds to community resources. Unfortunately, police do not have the insight, the understanding, the capability², or the training to take care of all of the issues that take place in community. And so, when we're talking about that, we're talking about mental health issues. We're talking about domestic calls. Let's take some of that funding and repurpose it in the community's hands with organizations who are on the ground doing the grassroots work. I know your brother was a victim of gun violence in that city and that has prompted you to be an activist³ in your community. You say you feel like your voice isn't being heard. What are they not hearing from you?

我们今晚先来与雷莎·威廉姆斯连线。威廉姆斯女士，晚上好，感谢你能与我们连线并与我们分享你的故事。作为明尼阿波利斯该社区的一员，你想在你们社区继续看到警察巡逻吗？当然了，我想纠正一下，我并不支持废除警察部署，我支持取消对警察的资金支持，这是两个完全不同的概念。那请你解释一下二者之间的差异并说明你想看到什么样的场景？嗯，废除是指做一些完全不同的新东西，而取消资金支持就是我刚刚说的。从所有资金中抽出一部分放到另一处。当我在谈论取消资金支持时，我说的是把资金用在社区资源上。不幸的是，警察们并不具备合格的观点、理解、能力或者是训练，来处理发生在社区的这些问题。因此，我们在谈论这一问题时，我们说的是心理健康，我们说的是家庭的诉求。我们让基层工作组织来把资金的一部分重新利用到社区中。我知道你弟弟是该市枪支暴力的受害者，这促使你成为你们社区的一名活动家。你曾说你觉得没人听得到你的发声，你说的什么是他们没有听到的？

Well, I was an activist before my brother. God bless his soul. Tyrone Williams was murdered by gun violence and Tyrone himself was an activist. What prompted me to become more involved in gun violence and anti-gun violence was my brother's death. But what they're not hearing is, is that as a community, we are citizens, we're American citizens that help build this country. And we're not asking for the police to be completely abolished. What we're asking for is equal treatment. What we've asked for from the beginning of time since we've landed here as slaves in America. Equal treatment so that we as citizens get the same treatment as our white citizens. When African Americans typically call the police for help or when they're in the need, the call time is much longer and the line for them to arrive to the scene is greater. These are statistics that are already out there.

我比我弟弟当活动家要早。愿上帝保佑他的灵魂。蒂龙·威廉姆斯因枪支暴力所害，他本人也是一名活动家。我弟弟的去世促使我更加积极地参与到反枪支暴力行动中来。但他们没有听到的是，我们是社区的一员，我们是公民，我们是帮助建设这个国家的美国公民。我们并未要求废除警察系统。我们要求的是平等的待遇。自从我们以奴隶的身份来到美洲大陆时，我们就开始要求平等待遇。平等待遇是指，同样作为公民的我们要求拥有和白人公民一样的待遇。通常，当非裔美国人报警或寻求帮助时，呼叫时间都要更长，而且警察到达现场的时间也会更久。这些都是我们已知的统计数据。
