I’ve said it over and over again, they’re not defunding the police, they’re defunding your police protection.
They will always have walls of men with guns protecting them. When you call the police though, you’ll be told, “Sorry, we have no men available, have you considered checking your privilege.”
Look at Chicago where Mayor Brandon Johnson, the anti-police radical, has plenty of police protection. Ordinary Chicagoans however, not so much.
How many officers should be on patrol in a Chicago police district overnight? Let’s say it’s the Central (1st) District, which generally covers the area between the river, the lake, and 31st Street. Neighborhoods like the Loop and South Loop, the lakefront and parks, parts of Bronzeville, and the West Loop.
60? 50? 30? How about nine? If you said nine, then you might be the person who crafted the Central District’s schedule for last Thursday night into Friday morning. Because that’s how many were on patrol.
A source provided the staffing information, and it’s pretty bleak: One sergeant was on duty for the entire district. Four patrol cars, with two cops each, were on the streets. The district assigned a fifth car, a solo unit, to sit at the “migrant landing zone” all night, but that officer could not answer any calls.

You do not see that? Shame!
His constituents are clearly too stupid to see a) the waste and b) the hypocrisy. Democrats. The Bane of civilization.
