Yes, Democrats Are Defunding the Police

YES, THEY ARE DEFUNDING THE POLICE. After House Democrats lost seats they expected to win in November’s elections, many in the party searched for someone to blame. They soon settled on — you’ll be shocked — their Republican opponents. GOP candidates had falsely and unfairly accused Democrats of wanting to defund the police, they said. “Republicans hung around Democrats’ necks that we are all socialist or communist and we all wanted to defund the police,” Rep. Harley Rouda, a Democratic candidate who lost his bid for re-election in Southern California. told the New York Times. “In my opinion, we as a party did a less than adequate job in refuting that narrative.”

Here is the problem. There are a lot of Democrats, in California and elsewhere, who are in fact working at this very moment to defund the police. In a significant number of places, the Republican attack was so potent because it was true.

Fast forward to December 25, when the left-wing magazine Salon published an article with this very long headline: “Did we defund the police? No, but ‘but changes are happening’ even after protests die down. Despite intense criticism coming from across the political spectrum, new city budgets show the protests work.”
