Read this. VERIFY: Did DC 'Defund the Police?'In July the mayor started the process to increase the police force after there was a budget cut in 2020.
You don't just flip on the switch, dude.
Yes, the DC police budget was cut by the Council by millions. Also, some areas were shifted from the DC police dept, causing a decrease in those budget areas. However, the DC police budget for 2020 was over $500,000,000. So while some areas were cut, some increased. The overall decrease was negligible. In 2019, the DC police went over budget. So it's not like if they use up the budget, they just shut the entire department down lol. It was hardly a campaign to "defund the police" as all you dumbasses are making it out to be.
