Who could gave guessed that defunding the police would cause crime to skyrocket?
Anyone with common sense, obviously. But, woke cities run by liberals learned the hard way as my colleague Stephen Kruiser wrote on June 7. According to a report from Fox Business, cities including 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.”
Homicides alone have increased 24 percent since January, according to the report.
New York City “will return $92 million for a new precinct after the project had been cut last summer” as shooting incidents are up 68 percent this year, and have gone up 30 percent in the last month alone. Mayor DeBlasio will also restore half the $400 billion he cut from the NYPD’s operating budget. Baltimore, Maryland will reverse its $22 million cut to the police budget this year with an increase of $27 million.
Residents and businesses have also pushed back on the efforts to defund the police. “A group of 37 restaurants and small businesses in Baltimore recently sent a letter to the mayor, city council, and state’s attorney threatening to go on a tax and fee strike until leadership starts enforcing the law and addressing crime, drug dealing and other issues.” Residents of Minneapolis, Minnesota also filed a lawsuit against the city for failing to keep the people safe. According to the lawsuit, the city hasn’t met its minimum ratio of officers per citizen as required by the city charter.
But that’s not all. A community in Atlanta is responding to the “defund the police” efforts there by separating from the city and forming its own police department.

Yep !! Good luck demoncraps hell holes with no 👮♀️ 👮♀️ popo
Gee ! I’m suuuuuure criminals will behave. Oh surrre
The Germans in WWII defunded the police?!
Regards,
The truly terrifying thought is who they are going to be hiring who is willing to be in that kind of position of power over people
Gone are the days when the police could be trusted. Whoever they hire to do the job is likely not going to be someone I would want entrusted with a gun and power to arrest me, and God knows what else.
Although that poster didn’t mention it, liberals usually hate private ownership of guns.
So I was hinting around at that too; in association with their other stupid ideas.
Defunding the police will bring a wave of crime.
The reaction to that could be eventual martial law in their areas.
More totalitarian than they ever dreamt of. IMHO
Please don't hint.
No need to be coy around here. You are among friends.
Just come out and plainly state your position.
A reference to "Germany in WWII" is simply too broad to make any sense. For a person with any sort of background in the fields of Military History or Political Science, such a reference brings up a thousand different associations.
After all, you know what Shakespeare said, right?
Regards,
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Yeah
Remember who really is to blame. It is any democrat voter. Treat them as they should because these democrat voters are completely responsible for the state of democrat party controlled areas.
Can’t disagree
For everyone but themselves.
Anyone that isn’t convinced that liberal left ideology is fundamentally flawed after witnessing the obvious....might as well be blind, deaf, and dumb. Or what....possessed by fkg demons. Baffling....
Exactly
