Three out of four Americans say defunding police departments has contributed to the rise in violent crime across the country, according to a new poll.

A Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday found that 75% of surveyed Americans say that “the defunding of police departments” is “a reason that violent crime is increasing in the United States.” The survey reports that 49% said defunding police was a “major reason” for the rise in violent crime while 26% said it was a “minor reason.” Only 25% said it was “not a reason” for the spike in violent crime.


Experts have echoed the point that the defund movement leads to more violent crime, saying police officers fear a lack of support from their departments if they are involved in a fatal shooting. This leads to them avoiding more dangerous neighborhoods altogether.


The poll also found that two thirds of those surveyed believe increasing funding police would reduce crime, a key data point as lawmakers and local officials grapple with the rising violent crime rates alongside calls to “defund the police.”

The poll asked respondents whether increasing funding for police departments ”would decrease the rate of violent crime in the United States.” Only 22% of those surveyed said it would not while the majority said it would. The poll found 36% said it would decrease crime “a lot” while 33% said more police funding would decrease crime “some.”

“The Biden Administration is trying to blame rising crime on everything except the true causes,” said U.S. Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., who pointed to the defunding push, immigration policy, and other issues. “[Democratic] policies that are enabling criminals and hurting police."

No what?

Stop what?

??
Same thing I said when the Dems did this shit. Stop behaving like babies in a sandbox who just had their toy taken away. Biden is a fucking trainwreck, but he hasn't done anything that warrants impeachment hearings. This country has other shit to worry about. I'd be pretty disappointed in the GOP if they go forward with this. Waste of tax dollars.
