#10 Defund the Police?

Romans 13:3-7

Defund the Police is a movement birthed out of recent protests over police brutality and racial oppression. The Bible actually says that paying taxes to support authorities (including law enforcement) is part of our worship to God. Law enforcement must be funded. But that doesn’t mean authorities (including law enforcement) can’t have budgets lowered or raised or funds reallocated.
