Rather then pulling from a copaganda site, you could have gotten the information directly from Philadelphia's controllers website.

In Minneapolis the budget has grown since George Floyd's murder

Same with Chicago

Do I need to go on? There was lip service paid to diverting police funds to mental health service in most cities, it either didn't actually occur, or was immediately undone with the next year's budget leap frogging 2019s.

We keep pouring money into this black hole, and we get no benefit from it. We get cops milking disability and departments buying surplus military year, but we aren't safer.

Have you ever been to a city in the Northeast? It's as if you don't think Philly, NYC, and Boston have large populations of undocumented workers and just decided to be sanctuary cities for a non-existent demographic. What do you think they just cross the Rio Grande and stop moving?

I guess the defunding policies with some of these cities have changed since all of their vocal rhetoric about defunding.

Why did they bring up defunding police in the first place...for the meme? For the Votes? For the virtue signaling? They realized it wasn't a good idea and did a 180? Who cares, I don't / won't live there. Please keep your problems in your containment zone.

You can pour as much money as you want into blue cities and you will still end up with a diahrreah side walk slip and slide experience. The real problem is the defund the police sentiment which manifests it's self into light on crime policies that result in police having their hand tied behind their back since criminals are released early, immediately or not prosecuted.

Surplus military materiel, boys will be boys, who doesn't want to buy an MRAP and drive over protestors??? A gov't employee milking disability payments? Gasp, every gov't employee does this, esp those who are pulling people out of burning cars or fighting with criminals...teacher go on disability too.

Then why all the complaining from Mayor Adams and Lori Lightfoot about the busses coming in? What do you thing border states are going through? Bring the border to blue cities if they enjoy lax border policies lol...oh wow their tune sure has changed!
