Very few people ever wanted to actually defund the police. A few idiots said it and then the trolls on the right ran with it. Some people proposed shifting some resources around, but the vast majority of people understand that the police play an important role and need to be funded properly.
Actions, not words or slogans. Democrats voted to fund the police; every Republican in Congress voted against it: https://dccc.org/democrats-vote-to-fund-police-republicans-against/ Today, House Democrats passed a package of bills that will boost public safety, fund policing, and give mental health professionals resources to serve communities. Republicans overwhelmingly voted against a package that: Provides grants for police training and recruitment. Equips mental health professionals with resources and funding to effectively respond to mental health crises. Provides funding to enhance community violence intervention and prevention programs. Makes investments in technology to help local investigators close unsolved cases, especially homicides. Last year, Democrats signed into law the American Rescue Plan, which included $350 billion in support for state and local governments, including to fund police and first responders. Democrats also secured millions in appropriations for local police.
guy in the comments has it right: Him: “hey 911 I don’t feel safe send more cops” Him 4 minutes later “why are there 6 cops here!!!?”
If your population wants crime to take over Then maybe you want the corporations to make machines to stop crime @Salvy @RB713
