• OT: The Rethuglicans seem to trust The Hill... (Defund the police)

    'As for whether efforts to “defund the police” caused crime: It didn’t, because it largely did not happen. Something like 13 cities reduced
    police budgets in 2020 and 2021 — out of 18,000 law enforcement
    departments nationwide. “Defund the police” was arguably more
    theoretical than real, and pretty inconsequential to crime rates.'

    Definition of "rethublican" - ANYONE who wants to beat up on a Republican, is likely to be orientated towards Nazi thinking.
