A few weeks ago, ABC evening news did have a segment on the rise in crime and did point the blame at low police morale and defunding the police efforts
As per expected, liberals who run the cities still are seeking to defund their police departments. Progressivism/ leftism is a child’s philosophy. Individuals with that ideology tend to make policy decisions based on how those policies make them feel, not on results or consequence
Most reasoning adults oppose efforts to defund police departments, especially in these high crime areas. But the key phrase is reasoning adults. That doesn’t exist on the left.
