5 Years Later: These Dem-Run Cities Are Reaping What They Sowed with 'Defund the Police'
 
The Daily Signal put out a report Thursday highlighting how several liberal cities are coping with law enforcement shortages five years after the "defund the police" movement began. It is not going well.

"Zohran Mamdani, the self-described socialist and New York City Democrat mayoral candidate, and other notable Democrats are distancing themselves from the now-unpopular call to reduce police presence on city streets as recent violence in Cincinnati and Manhattan places public safety back in the spotlight," the article read.
 
It then listed areas of the country that have taken some of the biggest hits.

First up: New York.

"According to data from the New York Police Department, more than 1,000 officers left the department in the first three months of 2025, an increase in retirements of 91 percent from 2024 numbers," the story continued.

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
