It may be that Mr. Nobel War Prize wants to dismantle good law enforcement so he can send in troops to "fix" things. Every study shows that prevention and community policing are far more effective and much, much cheaper than moving our military around. Don't they have jobs to do? And aren't we already paying for that?

If it wasn’t born out of the Trump regime ideas and it’s successful then they hate it because they can’t take credit for something that works well.

Never forgetthat for profit corporations that invest in and build private prisons love this.

They are encouraging fear-based 'policing' to advance their terrorizing of communities. The road to totalitarianism.

No, Democrats don't want to defund the police, but they do want some money that might otherwise go to the police (who are not trained for nor effective at this type of crime prevention) to go to groups that are.

Mr. Nesbit, you say that this funding removal "...is a political maneuver, consistent with this administration’s “reward allies, punish enemies” playbook". Are you saying that the community policing is seen as a Democrat/Biden policy and therefore has to be demolished?

This is yet another example of Trump Republicans destroying something good that is proven to be positive for the populace. These type of programs don't just happen overnight but have taken much commitment by a dedicated few to start and spread throughout a community and then more. What a shame.
