Dr. Phil - Season 21 Episode 75

“Defund the Police!” It was a rallying cry in the wake of the tragic murder of George Floyd and a call to action against the undeniable brutality of some -- but not all -- police and the disproportionate targeting of black Americans in arrests, shootings and killings. Many say the sentiment was right but the slogan was misleading. Now, more than two years later, hear from citizens who say it has been a dangerous debacle that has led to unprecedented levels of crime and violence in their cities because law enforcement budgets were cut or diverted. However, others insist that’s not true – they claim it's just a national misinformation campaign to divert attention from the real issues in their communities that not only need police protection but also protection from those charged with guarding their safety and security. So which is it? Dr. Phil has a passionate discussion with experts on both sides of the issue. It’s an episode you don’t want to miss.
