Was that part of the Crime Bill that Joe Biden used to crow about writing?
Yes, I remember and I brought it up here several days ago when the defund cop idiocy started.

Instead he turned to Midnight Basketball!!!
No, I can’t remember when he actually wanted 100,000 new cops on the street....

Hey; Remember when 0bama wanted to put a ‘Civilian National Security Force, just as well funded and just as well armed as the military’ on the streets? The Antifa / #BLM Axis isn’t quite there yet... But they are getting there.

Bill Clinton’s invisible cops.
He talked about 100,000 additional cops on the streets. And delivered Zero.

This whole effort to defund or disband police will quickly disappear once a few cities or counties actually disband them and the criminals take over. I think it will take about a week for for them to reverse their inane policy and then good luck to getting the police to return.
