Lors des manifestations […] le slogan […] a prospéré et fédéré au-delà des seuls mouvements abolitionnistes. Il suggère que les budgets alloués à la police soient affectés à d'autres secteurs et à des programmes qui renforcent les liens sociaux (santé, éducation, transports, logement, etc.) et donc contribuent à réduire la criminalité. 3, record 1, French, - cesser%20de%20financer%20la%20police
