[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have not lived in a city where police were defunded. Where are all these cities where police budgets precipitously dropped?

I do know cops in a lot of cities got butthurt fee-fees though because they read some things on the internet. Things likely stirred up by foreign adversaries.[/quote]

Take your fee fees and read this:

1.	New York City, NY – $1 billion. The City Council approved a budget that reallocated approximately $1 billion from the NYPD to other services, including education and social services.  
	2.	Los Angeles, CA – $150 million. The Los Angeles City Council voted to cut $150 million from the LAPD budget, reallocating funds to community programs and services.  
	3.	Austin, TX – $150 million. Austin’s City Council approved a $150 million cut from the police budget, representing about one-third of the department’s total budget.   
	4.	Seattle, WA – $76 million. Seattle announced a $76 million reduction in the police department’s budget, including transferring some responsibilities to other departments.  
	5.	Portland, OR – $15 million. Portland reduced its police budget by $15 million, eliminating specific units and investing in alternative community safety programs.
	6.	Minneapolis, MN – $8 million. The Minneapolis City Council approved a budget cut of over $8 million to the police department, redirecting funds to mental health and violence prevention programs.
	7.	Philadelphia, PA – $33 million. Philadelphia canceled a planned $19 million increase to the police budget and shifted $14 million to other areas, including affordable housing.
