Leftist-Run City in Vermont Having 2nd Thoughts After It Defunded Police: ‘A Mistake’
Story by Joe Saunders • 12h


A city that followed the national anti-police mania of 2020 is learning the hard way just how big a mistake that was.

Burlington, Vermont -- which gave socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders his start in elected office four decades ago -- made a conscious decision four years ago to cut its police force amid the riots that plagued the country after the death of accused counterfeiter George Floyd.
 
Now, overrun by crime, drug addiction and homelessness, the city has attempted to change course, but progress hasn't been easy, Fox News reported Friday. In fact, when it comes to police numbers, it's pretty well non-existent.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
