Well we can have a discussion about Minneapolis then. No other large city actually defunded the police. A few other cities talked about it but ended up continuing to fund at pre-BLM rates or higher. The real problem is still accountability of the police. They quit doing their jobs and no one is doing a damn thing about it.
- NeverFade 4y agoEven Minneapolis ended up reversing their "defund the police" effort: > Dealing the final blow to the local "defund" movement last year was a city council vote to essentially refund a cut they'd made the prior year. Mayor Jacob Frey is proposing another budget bump for the next two fiscal years. https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/how-city-once-called-murderapolis-became-center-of-defund-the-police-movement-now-grappling-with-violent-crime-spike/ https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/how-city-once-called-... As far as I'm aware, every single city that defunded its police to any extent - ended up with a major crime surge and then reversed itself. You can see in the article that Minneapolis was no exception to that rule.
