Ben Carson on defunding police: People will 'realize how irrational it is'
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson called the idea of defunding police departments "irrational," and claimed that even people who are calling for it now will realize it in time.
Calls for defunding or even disbanding police departments have gained momentum among Democrats in the aftermath of George Floyd's death.

"Well, it’s low-income communities where the police are needed the most," Carson said Tuesday ahead of a Senate Committee Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee hearing. "Places where there's a lot of criminal activity, obviously you need to police. So, as usual, when people make decisions when they're emotional, and they're angry. They don't think it through, and that's what this, it will go away. When people have time to think it through and realize how irrational it is."
