I fully expected this response:
"Well, we were told that if we defunded the police, cut their staffing, took the police off the streets, didn't enforce laws on vagrancy or drug use, and kept the police away from the bad neighborhoods, the crime would go away! I sure thought it would, but things are out of control. I think this is a federal problem, and I think Trump and the Republicans caused it."
Natch.
Laughing in truth!
