Why did anyone think "defunding" the police was a good idea?

    Tunnel vision. Focusing on one metric and ignoring all the rest. NOT the smartest thing to do.....

    Maybe tRaitor tRump should have had them ready and on standby, since he was the one in charge of the DC Guard at the time.

    Too many on the Left are pro-felon.

    Most of the electorate supports law, order and safety.

    This is impacting the election, and it's not helping the Felon-Friendly-Left.

    Quinnipiac: Say, we've just discovered an eight-point flip to the GOP -- among registered voters

    Gee- just observed it, eh? And you can't quite get yourself to go with a likely voter screen, eh?

    'One week before Election Day, an increasing number of Americans say inflation (36 percent) is the most urgent issue facing the country today.'

    No Abortion or J6? Whodathunkit?

    'It’s not just that it rose nine points, but that no other issue comes within 25 points of it. Here’s the issue priority breakdown in this poll, again among RVs:'
    • 'Inflation: 37%, 43% among indies
    • Abortion: 10%, 8% among indies
    • Crime, gun violence, election laws, climate change: 6%'
    This has been the situation for awhile now. Weird that these pollsters took so long to detect it.

    Because progressives flourish in anarchy.
    Step one - defund the police.
    Step two - stop enforcing criminal law and call it racist.
    Step Three - take self defense weapons away from the citizens.

    can you think of a better way to destabilize a country?

    Captain Obvious gets it...

    It's all about destabilizing our society.

    To be sure, many of the sheep who blindly follow the misleaders on the left have no idea what is going on, or why. They're simply fools who are easily misled and manipulated.

    Even many in the political class who run their mouths nonstop about this nonsense are not aware; but, they benefit from the narrative because the fools in perceptionland buy into it.

    The people who understand what they are doing, i.e. deliberately destabilizing our society, are the ideologues like Obama and Clinton, and greedy opportunists like Pelosi.

    Of course the Establishment above them which drives and funds it all certainly knows what they are doing.

    No. We understood The Left Correctly.

    The backpedaling only came when it was clear that on yet another issue much of the left was in a bubble wrapped echo chamber completely out of touch with the Free American People.

    But that's not what they did and almost no one calls the cops for a non iolent mental health emergency
    Every big blue city did so. NYC.lead the way under de Blasted idiot cutting nearly billion including the intelligence unit whose job was to collect info on local violent gangs and try to prevent thing like drive by shooting. Seems that these nit wits just assume that all the black folk in NYC were criminal thugs that would like it when their brethren were turned loose as quickly as they were arrested.

    Naming four cities isn’t proof. Supplying factual data is proof. My lord. I should have known you were going to waste my time with your nonsense. Goodbye

    Bye have fun. The only one wasting your time is you because you can't or you'd just plop one down and say "See this one didn't." But you won't even try because you'd rather not find out I was right or at least close enough to it as to not matter.

    ,NYC a billion dollars. Cities don't do it the same way states and feds do. So you don't have an actual bill to name. It's just part of the over all city budget. Which is handled more like a business budget with the mayor and the city council replacing the board of board of directors. There will be some differences depending on the style of government the city has.

    Democrat logic or lack thereof.

    The police weren't defunded, but if they were, it was the republicans who did it.

    Texas, except for its DP ruled cities, is good -- very good. :)
