America is facing a massive spike in crime and many of the cities that pushed to defund the police are now pulling back and refunding them.
From Fox Business:
One year after the movement to “defund” police saw cities slash budgets and cut funding, the U.S. has seen an uptick in crime. Homicides alone are up 24% since January and more than 70% of people in a recent Fox News Poll said they believe crime is on the rise nationally. As a result, the pendulum may be swinging back in favor of the police.
“Now some cities are refunding the police department,” FOX Business’s Stuart Varney said on Varney & Co.
Cities like New York City, Oakland, Baltimore, Minneapolis and Los Angeles are planning to reinstate tens of millions for the construction of new police precincts, increase police department budgets, among other plans to bankroll more efforts to confront the uptick in crime.
Overall, in several of the nation’s largest local law-enforcement agencies, city and county leaders want funding increases for 9 of the 12 departments where next year’s budgets have already been proposed, with increases ranging from 1% to 6%, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Politicians moved to appease protestors and rioters with their moves to defund the police, now many locals in these big cities are pushing against the move and demanding that the police return tot he streets. In New York City Bill DeBlasio is restoring $200 million in funding to the police, Baltimore cut is police budget by $22 million, now it is looking to add a $27 million increase in funding.
But I thought liberals were all smarter than the rest of us. Surely they haven’t been lying to us about that? I can’t believe they would admit they had made a mistake even if they realized they had.
Did democrats, blacks and young white wokesters seriously believe that DEFUNDING law Enforcement would solve ANYTHING???
I cannot imagine that THEY are really THAT STUPID!!
Nah, I think it was by design to bring down a country they despise.
Too many black people have been brainwashed by stupid white people (SWP’s) that they have it so bad in the U.S., when in fact they get more, AND GET AWAY WITH MORE, in the U.S. than they would anywhere else on this dysfunctional planet called Earth.
Restore legal immunity except for gross negligence and legalize stop and frisk.
