'Defund Police' Cities Grappling With Crime Surge Boost Police Funding Amid Staffing Shortfalls

Cities that once chanted the siren song of "defund the police" are now singing a different tune. The grand experiment of slashing police budgets seems to have produced a predictable outcome: crime surges and staffing shortages. These same cities, in their sudden epiphany, are now scrambling to boost their police funding. And here’s the cherry on top: Portland is doubling overtime and considering lavish bonuses to lure new recruits. Remember when the call was to redistribute funds to mental health and social services? Seems like that did wonders for public safety, right? But now, as crime statistics soar and public safety dwindles, even the staunchest defund proponents are recognizing that maybe, just maybe, you can't replace a cop with a social worker when the "bad man" comes around. Just another day in the land of progressive U-turns.
