"The president, with the backing of leading law enforcement groups, secured the money that his predecessor opposed — to keep cops on the beat — and every single Republican member of Congress voted against it," White House spokesman Andrew Bates said. "The GOP continues to oppose the American Rescue Plan even as it delivers the rehiring of police in their districts."

conservatives were left puzzled and slammed President Joe Biden after he quipped about Republicans allegedly believing Democrats are "sucking the blood out of kids" during an exchange with a reporter.

"Are there people in the Republican Party who think we’re sucking the blood out of kids?" the president quipped Wednesday in response to a reporter asking him if there are any Democrats who want to defund the police.

The puzzled reporter responded: "I’m not sure."

You righties are reduced to obsessing on trivia.

Sociopaths


When they get outed for their lies



They need to shuffle to the next town



These idiot sociopaths can’t shuffle to the next town



These greedy bastages have taken their con show national

Let’s hope they shuffle off the planet

That isn't what it means. If a corporation is reallocating and restructuring it's system, does that means it "takes away" the budget? No, it means put the budget to good use to improve the system.

Cannot believe that I have to explain a simple concept to you. You're smarter than that.

ROFL . are you sucking the blood from children?

an yes re-structuring STILL means shift budgets -and tht means some depts are defunded
in this case its cops on the streets of reduced academy students - all defunding

What depts? And by how much? And where would the money go?

As to your last sentence, it doesn't make any sense.

"Are there people in the Democratic Party who want to defund the police?" Biden was asked by Daily Caller reporter Shelby Talcott.

"Are there people in the Republican Party who think we’re sucking the blood out of kids?" Biden replied before walking away.


Great response Mr. President. Put that idiot in her place. Some people do want to defund the police as it exists to pressure them into behaving, on the other hand some fucking Repuke morons think dems are blood sucking vampires because they are deranged retards with no education.

What depts? And by how much? And where would the money go?

According to Rashawn Ray, a sociologist and fellow at the Brookings Institution, “Defund the police” means reallocating or redirecting funding away from the police department to other government agencies funded by the local municipality.”

Ray is quick to point out that defunding the police does not mean abolishing the police, but any resources, financial or otherwise, mean fewer police officers on the streets to help keep our communities safe. In fact, CNN reports that “Those seeking to disband police consider defunding an initial step toward creating an entirely different model of community-led public safety.”

So-called “community-led public safety” is not led by police and pushes police to the background or out of the picture entirely. Where does the money taken from the police go? The answer varies by city but generally falls into a few buckets.

“Those dollars can be used to fund schools, hospitals, housing and food in those communities, too — “all of the things we know increase safety,” Phillip McHarris, a doctoral candidate in sociology at Yale University and lead research and policy associate at the Community Resource Hub for Safety and Accountability, told CNN.

Schools, hospitals, and housing are great, but they do not keep violent criminals off the streets in the same way that police do. This simple fact has started to play out in cities across the United States.
What Cities Have Defunded Police?

According to a Forbes report from August 2020, at least 13 cities have defunded or are in the process of defunding their police departments:
Cities defunded police departments - National Police Support Fund

New York City
Washington, D.C.
Baltimore
Philadelphia
Los Angeles
San Francisco
Atlanta
Minneapolis
Seattle
Salt Lake City
Portland, Oregon
Hartford, Connecticut
Norman Oklahoma,
Austin, Texas

According to Forbes, funding cuts ranged from $1 billion in New York City to $3.5 million in Seattle and $850,000 in smaller cities like Norman, Oklahoma. However, Forbes also reports that several cities have increased police spending, including Houston, San Diego, Nashville, and Durham, North Carolina.

What Happens When Cities Defund Police Departments?

While anti-police advocates like to say that defunding measures do not have an impact on violent crime, the statistics clearly tell a different story.

In Minneapolis, homicides increased by 60% in 2020, with many of the crimes left unsolved because there are fewer police detectives and other resources to work the cases. Things have gotten so bad that the city’s residents are filing a lawsuit against the city council to restore police funding.

“We are in an urgent state of emergency right now due to the crime,” said Cathy Spann, one of the plaintiffs in the case, told KSTP news. “As citizens, the City of Minneapolis owes us. We have a right to expect that we can be safe walking the street, that our children can play in their yards. Enough is enough.”

For its part, the city’s council seems to still be in disbelief that cutting the police force will lead to an increase in violent crime.

“This is one of the most painful years I’ve ever experienced and I’ve been in Minneapolis all of my life,” Cam Gordon, city council member for Ward 2, told KSTP. “I think the number of guns, the number of shootings, it’s very concerning. It’s sad.”

The situation is similar in Atlanta, where 2020 was the city’s most violent year on record. The city’s police department investigated 157 homicides in 2020, up from 99 in 2019 and the highest number in more than 20 years.

Well see? I've told you the same thing.

It's more complicated than that but he's pretty on the right track.

So therefore, the question is stupid.

Qanon is that stupid. It is an arm of the right and the Republiqanons. They have talked about Dems consuming youngsters for a long time. They are responsible for the attack of the Comet pizzeria by a gun-toting believer. How any group of people can be that stupid is a mystery, but it is real. There are Qanons on this board.
