A year after the death of George Floyd, elected officials of major cities are walking back commitments to cut police funding amid spiking crime rates.
Elected leaders in places such a Minneapolis, New York City, and Los Angeles are now pushing to increase funding to police departments after months of budget cuts and low morale have gutted law enforcement ranks. At the same time, major cities across the U.S. are suffering spikes in violent crime.“The violence needs to stop, its unacceptable. People deserve to feel safe in their neighborhood, they deserve to be able to send their kids out to the sidewalk to play and to recreate without bullets flying by.

Believing that defunding the police will improve public safety is like thinking that shooting Smokey the Bear will prevent forest fires..
Democrats are intellectual troglodytes.

Well my goodness !! I just said what they wanted to hear and just did what they said they wanted done.
Now they complain that what they ask for isn’t what they want so I’ll give them what they ask for.
I’m a Dim leader. I just want to benefit from being a leader. So i just lead where the mob points. It’s just easier and more profitable that way.

Lie-berals are totally incapable of comprehending logic, reason, and facts. They only make decisions based on how something feels. That is why they do insane things like defunding the police -- because it feels like the right thing to do to them. Because it feels that way to them, they are so certain that things are just going to turn out wonderfully!!!
Conservatives make decisions based on logic, reason, and facts. We could have told the lie-berals (and we did tell them) exactly what would happen if they did something so illogical as to defund the police, but they wouldn't have been will or able to comprehend what we told them.
Actions have consequences, but you can only understand that if you comprehend logic, reason, and facts -- which, sadly, so many lie-berals in positions of power simply cannot do!!!

FTA ... “When you make big, overarching statements that we’re going to defund or abolish and dismantle the police department and get rid of all the officers, there’s an impact to that,”
Sure thing Mister Mayor
1. Your police retire or quit before they end up in jail for murder.
2. When you try to hire new cops nobody wants the job
3. After being decimated by your idiocy there are not enough patrol cops and your crime rate goes through the roof.
4. When your crime rate goes through the roof decent people move elsewhere and you have a city of criminals (see Baltimore).
5. When you have a city of criminals you lose your job and have a criminal mayor instead of an idiot.
6. You move out.

I want the stats. I want to know the color breakdown of the victims and the perpetrators. Sorry, but the truth hurts.

Republicans can not let democrats off the hook for their desire to defund the police.
Needs to be highlighted throughout the entire 2022 election campaign to illustrate how reckless and easily manipulated they can be at the expense of average voters, citizens, and businesses.

Law enforcement will need more than money. They will need moral support from politicians, community leaders and the public at large.
There are some politicians that need to lose their jobs - be fired! - before things get better. The decision to defund the police were themselves criminal acts and there must be accountability before things get better.
The community needs to know that the police will be supported that that assaults on the police, either physically or in the media, will be met with fierce opposition from the public.

These cities will now find out that it is a lot harder to add the money back into the budget and grow the police department back to where it needs to be than they think. It will also be very difficult for the police to once again trust the city government to not treat them like a political football. It will also be very difficult to repair the relationship and trust between the community and the police which has been destroyed by the politicians pandering and the liberal media blowing "police brutality" out of proportion. Fixing things will take a long time and crime will continue to rise. Politicians, criminals, and liberal activists who created the problem will escape blame. They will blame the understaffed police departments.

less police = more crime
more police = less crime
law abiding citizen = no reason to fear the police
not too hard to understand.

Since police deal with the scum of society on a regular basis, they need to act and react in different ways than your everyday civilized human. Therefore, restrictions that hamper their ability to perform their jobs in a way that everyday people don't have to, puts them and the general public in danger. While the optics of kneeling on a person's neck looks bad, it may have been the only way to subdue a person loaded up on drugs and who has a criminal record. There are numerous videos of drug suspects acting in ways that even three or four officers have a hard time controlling. Again police deal with the scum that everyone else tries to avoid.

I cannot fathom the mind of someone who thinks defunding the police could lead to a reduction in crime. people get the government they deserve! We can't always save stupid people from themselves.

Meanwhile, other cities (notably Austin) seem to be doubling-down on defunding police. (smh)

It's a shame that none of these pols experienced first hand the violence and destruction that THEY invited into their cities. I would have paid to see some mayor's house burnt to the ground.

If I were a police officer or a chief of police, it would be very hard for me not to walk away from the job. I realize their livelihood is involved, but given the way these men and women have been treated by some citizens AND even elected officials at the highest levels, they must think long and hard about whether police work is worth their lives and reputations.
Are there bad cops? Sure. Some. Probably just a few. Should they be punished if they do wrong? You bet. But the good ones do not deserve to be treated like garbage -- shot at like tin cans in target practice by illegally armed thugs.
To hell with Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Obama, and Hillary! To hell with the Democrat Party! Stop them from creating hell for the rest of us. They are just funders and supporters of the THUGS!
