all beside the point. no-where did I say that NYC, LA or SF or anywhere else shouldn’t do it. I just said since they obviously don’t need the money for law enforcement, there’s no need to send all those federal dollars they suck up for local law enforcement.
Those black communities demanding that change seem to think it would work better than funding a police force that has historically been used to discriminate against the same communities you think will be saved by increasing police power.
doesn’t matter, they obviously don’t need it. however a significant portion of federal moneys are spent locally for community policing initiatives. obviously the left doesn’t need that anymore.
If for any reason, anyone does defund the police it won’t take long before they get their funding back after the idealism wears off and the actual reality of what they’ve done sets in.
I’d also think there are a lot of voices in these communities who don’t want defunding that aren’t being heard right now or are keeping quiet because it is the prudent thing to do at the moment.
I am confused. How does this support your argument?
The COPS grant provides funding for community policing in specific areas. BLM LA also wants more funding to be allocated to community policing and other community lead initiatives
Grants are federal government driven initiatives based on their criteria. How does a local PD moving their money elsewhere affect what the government criteria for grants are?
It is a myth but the progressive liberal Democrats are hell bent on making it a reality. They want division, they want racism, reverse racism, anarchy and sedition, it’s a socialist/communist tactic.
