This isn't really all that surprising, I though it was pretty well known pre-election that they weren't exactly on the side of defunding police, and it was one of the views a lot of people didn't agree with. Still though, no party is going to be perfect and 100% do everything everyone wants. Side by side, this doesn't even touch all the awful Trump and the right has done, and continues to do. Politics are politics, politicians lie, and this will never change. Even most of the left on CE never said Biden was going to be perfect and do everything right, he was just a much better option for this nation, which he has been.

Yeah Biden and many other Democrats are very much pro further militarizing law enforcement. Both parties have historically been major contributors to this. Defunding the police is very much an unpopular opinion with the public at large.

Let's see.... Q2 and Q3 under Trump were about $25M

But only $13M in Q4 for some reason.

But then Biden spent $34M

And if you take the average of 13 and 34 you get.....

25!!

GASP!!

But also fuck Joe Biden.

But also fuck Donald Trump.

Especially Donald Trump.

Fuck him.

Yeah because abolishing the police is fucking stupid and would only have negative outcomes. Youd have to be crazy or a criminal to want that to happen.

Abolishing the police and defunding the police are two very different things. Very few are advocating for abolishing them entirely.

There seems to be movent on the idea of reframing defunding the police to allocating resources differently. There can be different types of workers to respond to different issues. Some cities have attempted this especially in mental health crisis cases with a lot of success.

There are also some calls to have a separate group similar to parking enforcement for traffic enforcement.

A lot of the ideas behind the defunding movement are about taking away various responsibilities from law enforcement and/or demilitarizing them.

Equating defunding the police with abolishing the police without any sort of attempt at a replacement is simply not accurate.

Many people would do well to remember that in most places around the world, the two major parties have far more in common than they do different. The "left-wing" label just generally gets slapped on whichever party is better at talking nice. If you want actual different actions, rather than just someone who says nicer things, vote for something outside the big two. There's options on both the left and the right (and inbetween) outside the big two.

I really doubt the people who take issue with police having military-grade gear care whether it was specifically paid for or not. Their issue is more with that it's there, not how it got there.

Agreed. Covid + the whole defend the police movement probably lead to a decline in purchases and bow that things are slowly returning to normal the status quo is roaring back.

Would love to see 2017-2019 and Q1 2020 numbers too.

Almost 200 mass shootings so far this year. I guess I can start with that and start getting into other things next. Theres a long list, want to make sure I have stuff for whatever your comeback is.

First of all, never trust a communist. Communists are fucking dumb.

Secondly, I believe these numbers are due to the riots ongoing... the riots didn't pick up until q2 last year, so it makes sense that more money would be allocated right now compared to q1 last year.

Lastly, LOL at half the comments in this thread. Use your brains.
