   You have had multiple responses from people who speak facts (what you call   
   "leftist"). Yes, in 2020 some cities reduced funding (or did not increase   
   funding as they might have) -- in both red and blue cities.

   You DID run away. And you will keep running away. He shared FACTS and showed   
   they were backed.   
      
   Meanwhile Republicans worked to reduce funding for police and were successful.   
   From a previous post:   
      
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------   
   Republican Study Committee (RSC), backed by around 80% of House Republicans   
   and 100% of House Republican leadership -- calls for defunding the Department   
   of Justice’s Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) program.

   Default on America Act would slash up to $10 billion from federal law   
   enforcement, including:   
      
   * $2.8 billion cut to the FBI   
   * Cuts to Capitol Police and reductions in federal grants to local   
   departments.   
   (Also cuts $580 million from federal prosecutors)   
      
   https://dccc.org/the-house-republican-history-of-voting-to-defun   
   -law-enforcement/   
      
   Lots of other examples. For example, at least some Republicans sought to kill   
   funding for 11,000 FBI personnel:
