UCLA, the California university attended by murdered graduate student Brianna Kupfer, published research promoting similar ideas as those held by “defund the police” advocates.
The research explores "alternatives to law enforcement," stating that law enforcement is "often indifferent to human life." One alternative to law enforcement offered by the authors is that many conflicts merit "no response" from law enforcement officials, asking people to "self-reflect" on why they call for help from law enforcement or other individuals.
"Currently, people often function as surveillance agents for police unnecessarily or harmfully. There are countless examples of people intervening, calling 911, pursuing, and even murdering people, primarily people of color, for doing absolutely nothing," the guide states.
