"NOBODY DEFUNDED THE POLICE: A STUDY"
"A study of budgets in over 400 American cities over the last 5 years shows that…there was no mass defunding of police. Police depts got the same average cut of the city budget in '21 as they did in previous years"https://t.co/lZ4xoQ6Wcp

Of course not, politicians are afraid of them
Accusations to the contrary are very dangerous right wing propaganda. And the rising crime rates they are blaming on the defunding of the police can now be attributed to… what exactly? The fact that the police either don’t really do that much to keep crime rates low, or if they do, that they stopped doing so out of butthurt over the bad publicity they got when they murdered a bunch of folks and got caught on video?
