Kennedy, 42, shared his wisdom on the shooting deaths of 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde in May throughout an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience" on June 16.
Kennedy noted "defund the police," as a movement born out of nationwide demonstrations after the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, as playing a part in the Uvalde shooting because officers are being trained "with broken systems" and, as a result, "are not ready to do the right thing."
The former MMA star foresaw that there would be more happenings like Uvalde.
Kennedy announced: "We have been weakening them and we have been making them ill-equipped to respond to that. And then I think Uvalde is a great example of not properly trained with broken systems that are not ready to do the right thing."

He went on: "We will have more of that unless we get them the right training and we get our schools to become hard targets. And then we go upstream to the origin, the Genesis of these problems, which is mental health with the individual."

Kennedy announced at one point of the discussion: "How does it make any sense that I’m going to provide this group that I want to protect us with less training and less funding, but than still want them to be a better product to be able to protect us?"
The city of Uvalde invests 40% of its yearly budget into its police force, the department has a SWAT team and there is a police department for the Uvalde School District.
