Yeah. I think even the most liberal places that "Defund(ed) The Police" have given up on it now. Violent crime skyrocket. Who woulda thunk it?

What are you talking about? There was a story just a couple weeks ago about a city that diverted police funds to an unarmed mental health/social work team that had successfully handled several hundred calls without violence, and cheaper than the cops could do it.

If you believe it then you can live in a place that has abolished the police. I'm not going to. Enjoy.

They’re just spewing bullshit that backs the opinions they formed while watching Fox News and fearing brown people.

Ironic (& personally I find it hilarious). If you spent any time outside of the echo chamber then you'd know what I'm talking about.

Who defunded the police? And now you're telling me there's a study? Or you're just making everything up?

Yeah. Except that never happened. -So not only can't you see current events, you are seeing things that aren't real. That's an issue. Unless you want to get away from the mind control cult, I don't see much use in trying to give you helpful info.

Name a single state that defunded the police. We'll wait.

LOL. -As if someone here claimed a whole state defunded the police.

There was no correlation between reducing police budget and violent crime. Violent crime went up everywhere the year defunding the police was tried for unrelated reasons.
