American cops are terrible at the alleged parts of their jobs that involve actually helping people. The only parts they are "good" at are using violence to protect private property, acting like a gang, and being racist.

This is why key demands when defunding cops is to keep these alleged functions but make them civilian jobs by social services professionals. Having a way to identify and care for children in tough situations is a good thing to do. Cops are possibly the worst people to give that responsibility to.
