How many times have we told you the farther away we get from defund and bail projects and soros da’s the better things will get.
Can we get the lives we lost through progressive bs back?
Dude, you're arguing with someone who can't even admit what he read and responded to actually happened.
Zero use in engaging him.
Here sobs. Stop being a troll or go back to the ky board
Portland among U.S. cities adding funds back into police departments
The debate about public safety spending has also shifted for departments from New York City to Los Angeles. They are seeing their finances partially restored in response to rising homicides, an officer exodus and political pressures.

Violent crime has been trending down since 92, with the notable exception of a couple of years in a row where it rose under Obama and in '20 when it jumped under Trump. That's a good thing, however there are major cities that haven't reported in recent years.

Great. I love that it’s coming down from the Trump jump.

It spiked after the made up blm narrative and progressives like Harris promoted defund and bail projects. Whatever progressives suggest do the opposite
Of course the trump jump was still lower than the Obama increase, but that doesn't fit your narative.
It spiked because of COVID unemployment and shutdowns. The defund stuff was stupid and naive and a contributor. however it was only in a few cities. The spike was nationwide.Portland among U.S. cities adding funds back into police departments

The whole defund excuse is one of the dumbest arguments in history.
The defund was in high crime cities. Do you want me to link the consequences of soros da’s?
Also progressives are usually the ones that also lobby for more funding to police departments. Historically speaking at least.Portland among U.S. cities adding funds back into police departments

A recent 2025 budget proposal by the GOP actually cuts spending to local police departments. While the Dem counter increases it.
Progressives were responsible for defunding, the attack on cops, blm support and soros da’s
Kamala Harris has not explicitly supported "defunding the police." In fact, during her vice presidential campaign in 2020, Harris consistently emphasized her opposition to the idea of defunding law enforcement. However, her stance has focused more on reforming the police rather than reducing or eliminating funding.Portland among U.S. cities adding funds back into police departments

Here are some key points on the matter:
### Public Statements
1. **Interview with ABC’s *Good Morning America* (June 2020)**:
- Kamala Harris clarified that she does **not support defunding the police**, stating:
> “I think that a big part of this conversation really is about reimagining how we do public safety in America, which I support... We have confused the idea that to achieve safety, you put more cops on the street instead of understanding to achieve safe and healthy communities, you put more resources into public education, affordable housing, homeownership, job creation.”
- This statement emphasizes her support for *reallocating* some resources from police budgets to community programs that address underlying causes of crime.
2. **2020 Democratic National Convention Speech**:
- Harris supported a call for police reform, including a ban on chokeholds, racial profiling, and the establishment of national standards for police use of force, but she made no mention of defunding law enforcement agencies.
### Senate Votes and Legislative Record
Harris has supported legislation aimed at reforming policing practices rather than defunding departments. For example:
- **Justice in Policing Act (2020)**: As a senator, she co-sponsored this bill, which seeks to ban chokeholds, no-knock warrants in drug cases, and racial profiling. It also aimed to create a national police misconduct registry, but the bill did not propose cuts to police budgets.
### Misinterpretation and Criticism
Some critics have suggested that Harris supports defunding the police due to her progressive stances on criminal justice reform and her endorsement of reallocating some police funds to other services, but she has repeatedly clarified her position. While she has aligned with calls for reform, she has rejected the notion of defunding law enforcement agencies.
In summary, **Kamala Harris has not supported defunding the police** but has advocated for rethinking and reforming policing practices, with an emphasis on community investment and accountability.
In short reallocating is a euphemism for defund. It means less cops.
8 of the top 10 cities with the highest crime rates are in red states. Did these cities actually go through any defunding? Or was it just a bunch of populist speak at the time? Honestly asking. You're from St Louis? #2. Did they actually defund anything or just talk about it?
If you backed out the blue run cities those states would have no violent crime. In Missouri violent crime is blacks with blue leaders. Yes the defunded. What’s more the attack on cops gave rise to unprecedented early retirements and resignations
But it's the GOP that wants to slash the national budget for local police departments? Of course it's not talked about openly but it's part of their budget proposals.
Maybe you're thinking the funding should come from their respective states solely?
The idea that the feds have a budget for local cops is absurd to me. Local and state PDs should be funded by the local and state governments. Fed funding started really being appreciable back in the 90s and has continued to grow making some local police depts look more like an occupying military force than a group of citizens who are sworn to protect and serve, but that's an entirely different thread.
There’s pass through $ (fed and state) but most funding comes locally. Here a city earnings tax
As a former journalist (it no longer exits), I need to stress that sources must be scrutinized. I do not trust ANYTHING originating from the FBI. I trust the DOJ before them and that's even a stretch.
BTW, I had a chance to visit Ernie Pyle's gravesite in Hawaii and it's in a gorgeous location. I believe he's the only non-military person interred there.

I think he rubbed a little too much sand in stoll's vagina.
Not that his absence is that tragic.
You’re not paying so you better mind your manners. 😂
Btw I didn’t ban him. I won’t hold my breath for your apology.
While Camden, NJ, is often cited as a leading example of police reform and resource reallocation, there are other cities and initiatives where similar approaches have led to positive outcomes. These examples include not necessarily full "defunding" but efforts to reallocate police resources toward community-based services, mental health support, and alternative safety measures. Here's a look at a few notable ones:
### 1. **Eugene, Oregon – CAHOOTS Program**
- **Action Taken**: Since 1989, Eugene has implemented the *Crisis Assistance Helping Out On The Streets* (CAHOOTS) program, a model where mental health professionals and paramedics, rather than police, respond to non-violent mental health and homelessness-related crises.
- **Outcomes**:
- **Positive Impact**: CAHOOTS has become a highly successful alternative to traditional police responses for certain situations, handling about 20% of the city's emergency calls (over 24,000 annually). It is credited with reducing unnecessary police interventions and improving outcomes for individuals facing mental health crises.
- **Cost Savings**: By diverting non-criminal calls to CAHOOTS, the city saves an estimated $8.5 million a year, significantly reducing the burden on the police department and allowing law enforcement to focus on violent and criminal activities.
- **National Influence**: The CAHOOTS model has been looked at by other cities like Denver, San Francisco, and New York as a potential way to reform their approach to public safety.
### 2. **Denver, Colorado – STAR Program**
- **Action Taken**: Inspired by Eugene's CAHOOTS, Denver launched the *Support Team Assisted Response* (STAR) program in 2020. Similar to CAHOOTS, the STAR team includes paramedics and mental health professionals who respond to nonviolent calls related to mental health, substance abuse, and homelessness, instead of police officers.
- **Outcomes**:
- **Immediate Success**: During its pilot period (June 2020 to November 2020), STAR responded to 748 calls, none of which required police backup or resulted in arrests. The program was successful in de-escalating situations and providing appropriate care without the need for law enforcement.
- **Expansion**: Following its successful pilot phase, the city expanded the program in 2021 and allocated more resources for its continued operation.
- **Community Reception**: STAR has been well-received, with advocates citing it as a humane and effective way to address non-criminal emergencies, reducing the load on police and potentially preventing unnecessary arrests or escalation.
### 3. **Seattle, Washington – LEAD Program**
- **Action Taken**: The *Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion* (LEAD) program, launched in 2011, allows police officers to divert low-level offenders, particularly those involved in drug use or prostitution, to social services instead of arresting them. The program emphasizes treatment and support rather than incarceration.
- **Outcomes**:
- **Reductions in Recidivism**: Studies on LEAD have shown that participants are 58% less likely to be re-arrested compared to those who went through the traditional criminal justice system. This highlights the program's success in reducing repeat offenses and addressing root causes like addiction and homelessness.
- **Cost Savings**: By diverting individuals from jail and into social services, LEAD has helped reduce the cost burden on the criminal justice system, lowering expenses associated with incarceration.
- **National Model**: The program has been praised as a model for other cities looking to reform their policing practices and focus on harm reduction.
### 4. **Dallas, Texas – RIGHT Care Program**
- **Action Taken**: Dallas launched the *Rapid Integrated Group Healthcare Team* (RIGHT Care) program in 2018. This program dispatches teams of police officers, paramedics, and social workers to respond to mental health crises.
- **Outcomes**:
- **Reduced Police Involvement**: RIGHT Care has successfully diverted a significant number of mental health-related 911 calls from law enforcement to healthcare professionals. In its first year, the program resulted in fewer emergency room visits and reduced police interventions in situations better suited for social workers and health professionals.
- **Positive Community Feedback**: The program is seen as a valuable tool for de-escalating potentially dangerous situations and providing care to those in mental health crises. The reduced police presence in these interactions has contributed to better outcomes for vulnerable individuals.
### 5. **Richmond, California – Office of Neighborhood Safety (ONS)**
- **Action Taken**: Richmond's *Office of Neighborhood Safety* was launched in 2007 to address the city's high rates of gun violence. Instead of policing, ONS focuses on providing mentorship, job training, and counseling to individuals at high risk of committing or becoming victims of violent crime.
- **Outcomes**:
- **Significant Crime Reduction**: Between 2007 and 2017, Richmond experienced a 66% reduction in gun-related homicides, largely attributed to the work of ONS. The program targets individuals with histories of violence, providing them with opportunities to change their behavior through positive engagement rather than punitive measures.
- **Innovative Approach**: The ONS program is often cited as a non-police model for violence prevention, showing that investing in community outreach and targeted support can reduce crime without increased policing.
- **National Attention**: Cities like Oakland, California, and Washington, D.C., have looked to ONS as a model for addressing violent crime in ways that go beyond traditional law enforcement.
### 6. **Baltimore, Maryland – Crisis Response Teams**
- **Action Taken**: Baltimore has implemented crisis response teams made up of mental health professionals and police officers to deal with incidents involving individuals experiencing mental health crises. The city also invested in trauma-informed approaches to policing.
- **Outcomes**:
- **Effective Response**: By embedding mental health professionals alongside police officers, the crisis teams have been able to de-escalate potentially violent situations and provide appropriate care. This has reduced the number of fatal encounters between police and mentally ill individuals.
- **Support for Expansion**: The success of these programs has led to calls for expanding crisis response teams and further separating nonviolent calls from traditional police response.
### Conclusion
These examples illustrate how reallocating police resources to focus on mental health services, community-based violence prevention, and diversion programs can lead to positive outcomes. While full "defunding" of police departments is rare, these models demonstrate that shifting certain responsibilities away from police and toward specialized professionals can reduce crime, improve public safety, and prevent unnecessary police encounters.
The common theme in these successful programs is a focus on addressing root causes of crime—mental health issues, homelessness, addiction, and poverty—through non-punitive means. These strategies not only improve individual outcomes but also reduce the burden on traditional law enforcement. Although broader reforms are still being debated, these cases offer promising examples of how thoughtful reallocation of resources can enhance public safety and community well-being.
@kraft cheese+macaroni i'm not opposed to any of those things. i think they're a great idea. to augment not replace. removing cops. cutting funding to cops is not a good idea. so much of what we've learned over the years is that beat cops who are a fixture in the community, give out business cards, as best as possible mirror the demo of the community, work best. unfortunately as some cities have become bombed out, detroit, stl, and others, that beat cop objective becomes really difficult. there's plenty of neighborhoods where you can be long gone before a cop is there to responsd. so all those other opportunities to ameliorate same are beneficial. that's how rudy cleaned up ny. he also got the business community to buy in. but i do support the other stuff as some of these criminals are little kids. look at that little guy in the crew doing the car breakins here.
