Sorry, you said "all" should be higher budgets...arguable, but I sure as heck want police to be well funded...almost as much as I wish education was well funded.

cradle was making a claim that they were "defunded", but I think that it has been very rare anywhere in the US to actually have had public safety budgets cut.

But if you know differently, please cite the specific facts from a credible source...not right wing media talking points, please. Nor left wing for that matter...actual facts please.
I was say high budgets, because there are less people to pay, b/c police so many officers HAVE rolled out.

Budgets are all over the place nationally. Completely all over the place.

I mentioned a few years ago that if we invested in our people early on we wouldn’t spend so much on housing people in prison, could have lower policing expenses and have more productive people paying more taxes and in increase overall productivity of the population. We are being sub optimized as a nation. Cradleandshoot called it handouts and a lack of parental responsibility…..oh well.

My wife can tell you where the lines diverge-----it's MUCH cheaper to invest in kids early---the poor especially------instead of throwing everyone in jail when it's too late.

Said it a million times-----we should be using our MASSIVE GDP to absolutely smoke other nations. I hate that we don't.

Great map, a fan.

Let's just say that my hometown, Baltimore is not "defunded", either on a cost per resident, share of total city budget, nor # of police per resident...and yet...damn liberals.

Notice the "socialist" countries that actually invest in their people have the lowest rates?

This, btw, is what a policy wonks mean by "defund the police". They mean: take the money we're blowing on police and jails, and INVEST in your communities and your kids. If you do that? You won't need the doggone jails.

And again, I agree it's a stupid, stupid way of phrasing it.
