Will Smith speaks out about the 'Defund the Police' movement, says it 'doesn't get it done'

Will Smith shared his thoughts on the “Defund the Police” movement, explaining that he has an issue with the branding of a cause he otherwise supports.

"This is a pitfall area," the actor confessed, reportedly slowing down to choose his words carefully. 

"Defund the Police" is a movement that came to light in the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020. Essentially, it calls on communities to reallocate resources currently going to law enforcement to other things like mental health resources, housing education and other community-based forms of policing society.
