Democrats Go from ‘Defund’ Police to….We Have a Problem!

Remember when President Joe Biden’s party was pushing to defund police departments all over the country… apparently that didn’t work out so well for them. With today’s Americans for Limited Government Minute, I’m Catherine Mortensen. Now Biden is calling for states and communities to use unspent Covid relief money to hire more police because of increase in violence over the past 18 months. In 2020 there was a 30 percent year-over-year increase in homicides and an 8 percent increase in gun assaults in large cities. Those numbers continued to rise in the first quarter of 2021. Biden faces a balancing act in laying out his agenda on crime.
In an attempt to distance himself from progressives who want to "defund the police" – but not sound too law-and-order-ish, he’s saying we need to “get smart on crime” instead of get tough on crime. Democrats created the problem – defunding police – and now they want us to believe they can solve the problem. A classic example of Big Government fail. For more check us out at the DailyTorch.com
