Last year the BLM and Antifa took to the streets and demanded the defunding of the police. They felt that if the police were defunded there would be less brutality. If anything all they did is increase crime rates… But I guess House Dems thought it was a great day and have now signed in a new bill that makes it so local governments are going to struggle to pay public safety services.
“Democrats just voted to defund the police,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said in a statement. “The unfunded mandates in their bill, H.R. 1280, would cost police departments hundreds of millions of dollars—the equivalent of taking 3,000 cops or more off the streets. Our men and women in uniform deserve better.”
Jason Smith (R-MO), Ranking Member on the Budget Committee, and Jim Jordan (R-OH), Ranking Member on the Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Congressional Budget Office Director Phillip Swagel highlighting their concerns with the bill.
“It is our understanding that H.R. 1280 contains provisions that significantly violate the current Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) threshold of $85 million,” the letter stated. “It is further our understanding that these provisions may in fact result in additional costs to state, local, and tribal governments totaling in the hundreds of millions of dollars which would deprive these localities of the resources needed to provide adequate policing and public safety services in their communities.”
“Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) offered Democrats a way out late on Wednesday night — a chance to vote on an amendment that “recognizes and appreciates” those who serve in law enforcement and “condemns calls to ‘defund,’ ‘disband,’ ‘dismantle,’ or ‘abolish’ the police.”
219 Democrats voted against the amendment, which stopped it from being added.”
Watch The Clip Below.
.@RepMalliotakis offered a motion to recommit, that the House:
• recognizes & appreciates the dedication & devotion demonstrated by the men and women of law enforcement
• condemns calls to "defund," "disband," "dismantle" or "abolish" the police.

Earlier this year New York residents were asking ‘where’s the police?,’ after a deranged man went on a killing spree on the subway. New York is by no means the only one. Minneapolis has had to beg nearby cities for additional officers and almost everywhere that they have defunded the police has seen a significant rise in crime. The House Dems clearly don’t care and are pandering to the BLM movement. The BLM movement was wrong with their message in the first place. If they wanted better police officers their message should have been about reform and additional training. But instead they defunded the police which only helped criminals. So now the House Dems are just hurting Americans as they make it even easier from criminals.
