(KGTV) ¡ª As demonstrations around the country call for police reforms, demands for cities to "defund the police" have increased.But what does that really mean? Is it a reduction in funding or eliminating departments? So far, the calls have included both."There are some advocates who would like to see a police-free environment in a lot of cities," Scripps National Political Editor Joe St. George tells 10News' Jon Horn. "Now for some people that is a terrifying thought. Police help prevent theft, they prevent violent crime. So it is something that is certainly going to be a hotly contested political issue."RELATED: San Diego City Council approves budget, adds Office on Race & EquitySt. George added that both Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden have both said they do not support calls to "defund the police," so the issue may fall on local cities.Policy proposals are still in the early stages. Supporters of the movement say they'd like to see less patrolling and reaction to major needs. But critics say patrolling helps prevent crimes from happening.If budget reductions are in the mix, depending on the amount, departments can either expect layoffs or a shift in priorities, according to St. George."If you're talking millions of dollars worth of cuts to a police department, there will have to be layoffs. If you're talking a couple hundred thousand, perhaps they would shift priorities from one program to another," St. George says.In San Diego, locals voiced their calls for decreasing the police department's budget for the 2021 fiscal year. City leaders voted Monday to approve the budget, which will increase SDPD's budget to 6 million.In contrast, Minneapolis' City Council has voiced intentions to disband the local department, calling their current department unreformable. City leaders have not announced plans for a future public safety agency.RELATED: Advocates calling to defund or disband police departmentsBudget changes could lead to different ways of serving the community, according to Isaac Bryan, Executive Director of the UCLA Black Policy Project. Cities may focus more on preventative efforts like education and services for low-income communities."I definitely think there are partnerships to be made and there's opportunity to be had, but that reimagining really first comes with having the resources to dream," said Bryan. "Right now, we don't have that because over half of our budgets, the discretionary funds go to law enforcement and policing."One thing that is likely, whether it be budget or policy changes, is that no two cities can expect to see the same response."Every city is going to be different. San Diego is going to respond differently than Los Angeles and California cities will respond differently than cities in Minnesota," St. George says. 2839

(CNN) -- When a World War II veteran turned 99, he had one regret. He had an opportunity earlier in life to meet some of the last living Civil War veterans, but he didn't go.Now 100-year-old Sidney Walton is giving people across the country the chance to meet one of the last living World War II veterans.Walton has been on a mission to visit all 50 states over the past year and a half, and he passed the halfway mark earlier this month. He's made it to 26 states, meeting with governors and anyone who will hear his story.He wants people he meets to remember the sacrifice World War II veterans made, especially as there aren't many left. Fewer than 400,000 of the 16 million Americans who served in World War II are alive, according to US Department of Veterans Affairs statistics.RELATED: Thousands of service members return to San Diego for ThanksgivingIn April 2018, Walton started sharing his message. He decided to leave his home in San Diego and meet with governors of each state as a way to reach a large number of people.He first met with Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo and would hit 25 more over the next 18 months, ending with Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. He calls it his "No Regrets Tour.""We're going to complete this tour," Paul Walton, Sidney Walton's 64-year-old son, told CNN. "We have 24 more governors to go and we're going to do it, as they say, 'Come hell or high water.'"When Sidney Walton was 21, he left college in New York City to join the US Army.RELATED: San Diego mother calls on community to sponsor wreaths honoring veteransAt first, he was trained in chemical warfare and was sent to get a degree in chemical engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute, now known as Virginia Tech. He never had to use those skills, though.He later was sent to India and served in the China-Burma-India Theater as a corporal, which some call the forgotten theater of the war.Paul Walton said this tour is meant to keep the memory of veterans alive and remember their sacrifices. He believes in the message his father is sharing so much, that he gave up his job to travel with him.The journey isn't always easy. At 100 years old, the amount of traveling and planning can be difficult. Paul Walton said all their plans are made a month in advance at most. They never know what could happen, but they hope to finish the tour in style.RELATED: San Diego veteran receives Congressional Gold Medal for WWII serviceThey drive a rental car with a magnetic sticker that tells people Sidney Walton, a 100-year-old World War II veteran, is inside. The two have big dreams of getting a large campaign bus to travel through the remaining states so everyone knows that Sidney is there."We want everyone in the next 24 states to know that Sidney is on his way," Paul Walton said. "He's going to accomplish this mission like he always has all of his life." 2867

(CNN) -- We've all been tempted to bring a little bit of paradise home from our holidays. But the urge has backfired on a French couple, who are facing up to six years in prison for removing sand from a beach in Sardinia, where they had been on vacation.The Italian island's white sand is protected, and tourists face fines and even jail time for removing it from local beaches -- but the couple say they did not realize they were committing a crime.Police in the northern city of Porto Torres found the sand while making routine checks on cars waiting to board a ferry to Toulon in southern France.They spotted some bottles filled with sand through the window of the car, and arrested the couple, a man and woman in their 40s, police told CNN.Overall, 14 plastic bottles containing around 40 kilograms (88 pounds) of white sand were seized, police said.The couple were reported to a court in the city of Sassari for aggravated theft and they risk a fine of up to €3,000 (,300) and between one and six years' imprisonment.Police told CNN that the tourists said they were unaware of the laws about removing sand, but noted that the island's beaches have signs in several languages informing visitors.Theft of white sand and rocks from Sardinia's beaches is very common, a police officer said, and there is an illegal market for them on the internet."The people of Sardinia are very angry with tourists that steal shells and sand, because it's a theft (from) future generations that also puts at risk a delicate environment," the officer told CNN.Sand thieves are usually picked up at airports, in bag searches and by scanners.A Facebook page, "Sardegna Rubata e Depredata" -- "Sardinia, robbed and plundered" -- which was set up by a group of security officials from the island's airports, campaigns against the depletion of Sardinia's beaches."The purpose of the page is to raise public awareness about this problem," one of the page administrators previously told CNN Travel."During the last 20 years of activity we have seized tens and tens of tons of material ... Every year we take care to bring everything back to the places of origin at the end of the summer season." 2183
