Defunding the police was never a real thing, kind of like the ACA death panels, but the right sure likes to rally the base around crazy ideas.

Google: "What Cities Have Defunded Police?" and the answer is, New York City. Washington, D.C. Baltimore. Philadelphia. Los Angeles. San Francisco. Atlanta. Minneapolis. I'm afraid it is all too real.

The article ignores how domestic violence is a major related issue with rise in shootings during this pandemic period. The National Review story focuses on funding and does not distinguish between shootings involving strangers or connected people. Police are a necessary element of society for after a crime happens in public, but they may not prevent some of the shootings cited that include a bad private relationship.

Police are a necessary DETERRENT to crime, NOT just after a crime happens.

Defunding the Police is one of the craziest ideas the Democrats ever came up with.

So crazy that they tried to blame the Republicans for it.
