Which cities were those, that started to follow through on defunding?
Cities that increased funding are also experiencing the crime spike. It's a national phenomenon. Also one that apparently police can't prevent because, again, more police haven't prevented it.

- chimeracoder 4y ago> Over 20 major cities cut or moved funding in some way by 2021 That's a misleading way of talking about those numbers, and in fact the source linked within the article shows the exact opposite. For example, it cites New York as an example of a city which "reduced" police funding. Except New York famously didn't - they simply moved SROs to the Department of Education instead. Total funding for police actually increased. It just was reported on a different line in the budget.
