Most cities have not been defunded or even reduced funds but crime is up nationwide so they have come up with bull shit like this to continue thier bull shit narritive.
Murders are spiking. Police should be part of the solution.
In a recent survey of criminal justice experts, a majority said increasing police budgets would improve public safety. The evidence is especially strong for strategies that home in on very specific problems, individuals, or groups that are causing a lot of crime or violence — approaches that would require restructuring how many police departments work today.
That runs contrary to the push to “defund the police” in progressive circles, which tend to focus on cutting policing to boost alternatives. In the same survey of experts, most said that increasing social service budgets would improve public safety. But experts also say there’s no reason, if the goal is to fight crime, that communities shouldn’t expand both policing and social services — what University of Missouri St. Louis criminologist Richard Rosenfeld calls a “both-and” approach.

The funny part of "alternative policing" is that the intent of the defund promoters is to send unarmed social workers on calls for "domestic disturbances". The reality is that these are some of the most dangerous calls. It only took two months in Durham for the "social workers" in the new "public safety office" to demand that an armed police officer be sent with them on every call. Now we are wasting money by sending two people on these calls -- and costing additional time because both must be present before they go attempt to address the domestic situation.
But none of this should be surprise -- in previous decades they attempted to send social workers as an alternative to police in some cities -- and ran into the same exact issue.
US Police need to stop murdering more citizens than any other advanced nation.
You spin everything into most sinister intentions..
You must be aware of the effort to reduce police stops in crime areas
The BLM types are more concerned abut the raw numbers of police stops then about keeping communities safe
