[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but you are. Please provide (1) proof that MPD was defunded and (2) Allen and/or Nadeau supported Defund.

Nadeau: "Thank you @DcgirlsC for meeting with me today to share your experiences & recommendations. I support your calls to defund MPD, get police out of our schools & adequately fund programs that support our youth & communities."

Allen: "Time for a budget thread. MPD will start Fiscal Year 2021 on October 1 with a budget that’s $33 million *less* than they have today. It’s been reported as an increase, so let’s dig into the details, with some thoughts on how the Judiciary Committee got to our proposal...So how will this all play out? In essence, unless money is transferred in by the Mayor, they’ll be in an effective hiring freeze for new officers. Add attrition into the mix & force numbers will start to drop by about 200 officers (we’re at 3,700-3,800 right now)...Our strategy is to reduce our force size in a responsible way by turning off the spigot plus adding in natural attrition. It starts immediate action & lets the community continue this conversation and reinvest those funds elsewhere where needed...The District needs to be committed to a sustained effort of funding, and defunding, that aligns with our priorities and puts our public dollars where they can do the most good."

In the whole Allen thread, he goes into explicit detail about how the Council defunded the MPD in the budget.

I love how the people who actually pay attention to what the Council is doing are called liars, while the people who pay no attention keep claiming the Council wasn't for defunding the police (or know they were, and are purposefully lying to misinform the public). This isn't even hidden stuff you have to look into, this is what Councilmembers were explicitly and publicly saying just three years back.[/quote]
