    Imagine that. Police were monitoring the party and the instant they drove off the shooting started. If that isn't a commercial for defunding the police I don't know what is. I look forward to all the network and CNN specials on how this could possibly happen.

    have any police departments been disbanded or defunded near you? this is the lamest meme. are you sure blm work for us?

    or, more likely your boogaloo boys and their media enablers say this crap to stir up the faux outrage.

    Sounds like either the fight was related or someone made a fake call to pull them away from the scene.

    Or even worse, the Republicans started it. Orwellian thought is alive and well among the Democrats.

    It looks like the barbarians can’t even hold a peaceful celebration during a faux holiday they created. We give them what they want, and they still can’t act with decorum.

    They will be good objects for target practice however.

    Some of the worst situations the police face are domestic disputes. If a social workers shows up at the door instead of a policeman, it’s doubtful that an enraged gunman is going to more likely to put down their weapon.

    Guns in the news again.

    Another death by gunshot to add to the year's total. At year's end, that total will probably be somewhere around 45,000 lives cut short.

    That's about 45,000 deaths that our present laws, their levels of enforcement, and our social programs were unable to prevent.

    Guns in the news.

    Again.

    Regards, stay safe 'n well 'n un-shot.

    NYC has added cops and have most cops per capita in the nation, and its not even close. As a results crime is pretty low in NYC.

    Af for armed citizens in Chicago settling a dispute with guns, - isn't that what you want? It happens here in Florida all the time.

    Its an old talking point, but seems like some are stuck repeating it. 90+% of precincts in US have increased funding and manpower.

    they are cops. their first instinct is self preservation. they showed up later, after the shooting stopped, i'm sure, to write very crisp reports.

    Perhaps we could satisfy the defunders by doing away with the FBI and the Justice Department instead.

    You act as if defunding happened, when the truth is that the opposite happened.

    Sure, there ARE people who don't just want to defund, but eliminate completely .

    It's how Rev Sharpton and attorney Ben Crump make their living.

    This is why they don’t want CRT taught in school. They want to keep calling African American “Animal” and don’t want anyone to tell them “ it is inappropriate to call another human an animal”.

    Yea, some people on the street chanted defund police department but not a single police department was defunded.

    Here is Chicago Police department budget since 2018. Over the five-year period from FY2018 to FY2022, public safety appropriations will increase by $358.1 million, or 15.4%.

    The 25 largest Democrat-run cities employ 75% more police officers than the 25 largest Republican-run cities, on a per capita basis.
    The 25 largest Democrat-run cities spend 38% more on policing than the 25 largest Republican-run cities, on a per capita basis.
    In the most recent budget cycle, the 25 largest Democrat-run cities collectively increased their police budgets more than the 25 largest Republican-run cities, albeit by a modest +4.34% versus +4.11%.
    Democrat-run cities employ 288.2 officers per 100,000 residents, compared to Republican-run cities with only 164.6 officers per 100,000 residents.
