  > 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.
