Do you have proof of anyone "going back" on the reinvestment?

Yes, it was covered in the links in the OP.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Republicans are the ones defunding the police. They voted no on a bill that would give police departments more funding for rising crime. There are some crazies on the far left that want to abolish the police, but defunding the police means to divert some funding for the police to fund other services so cops just dont go and shoot nonviolent or handicapped people.

Not voting to pass extra funding for the police that may or may not be used to fund the police once its passed is not the same as cutting current funding. It's one of the most stupidest stretches of reality I've seen come out of the White House so far... You know, claiming that since it's in the bill that not voting for the bill defunds the police. That's not the case. It's not taking away anything because they currently don't have it. It's only a proposal. I'm not sure where society failed you on teaching you logical thought, but they failed and did so pretty miserably.

Democratic politicians are largely center-right moderates afraid of change, like many Republicans. "Loot burn rape murder" sounds like SWAT's slogan. Nobody's supporting criminality here, but I will concede that violence is the only language fascists understand.

lol this guy^. I give an easy out. To concede that the individual identity trumps the group identity. And he still couldn't take it. This is the problem in America right now. Group identity superseding the individual. "You must think like me and my like minded friends or you are against me!"

Are you talking about the fascists that burn, loot, murder and destroy careers if you don't believe what they believe?
Yep that pretty much sums up January 6th.

Lol. People still unironically believe this narrative?

This is looting. It is dangerous and violent:

The 1 murder happened by official detail against the unarmed civilian. Let's support the institution in these trying times.

There is no individuality within fascism, you all want the same things. And yeah, neo-nazis are the bad guys, regardless of what dipshit media you've consumed that might've brainwashed you into believing a murderous police state is a good thing. Idiocy.

Woah woah woah slow down there buckaroo, you're turning into the one thing you swore to destroy. You have taken it too far. Refer to my previous post for why everyone here should shut up.

You're the one trying to spin a narrative here. The truth is that people died that day, there was rampant property destruction, pipe bombs and other weapons were found by law enforcement, and the invasion of the Capitol building was an attempt to keep the democratically-elected candidate from being confirmed as president. Over five hundred violent insurrectionists have been prosecuted so far, with more to come.

Hope anybody that doesn't like the police don't call them when they get mugged or raped, but usually those people are the first to call the cops, which can't help them fast enough because they got no funding lol

Who gives a fuck, police don't prevent crime, they just respond to it 99% of the time. Why do you think so many Americans own guns? Well...partly because everybody else does, but also to protect their own homes because they know the bumblefucks at the local police department can't/won't.

And politicians want to take those away too. No police. No personal protection. Uncontrollable crime all over. Sounds like paradise, right?

Proof that you can't argue with stupid. You are very entertaining though. I like you.

AFAIK absolutely nobody has proposed "taking away all guns," only taking away guns from spousal abusers and the like or adding some very minimal additional screening for the background checks. Which is all more than reasonable, even as somebody who owns guns myself.

Many cops barely understand the laws they're supposed to enforce. Literally all they're good for is responding to violent crime, not preventing it. And I'd rather the EMTs get there first if I've been shot/stabbed.

Proof that you can't argue with stupid. You are very entertaining though. I like you.
Don't pretend you know fuck all about living in America, bruh. Matter of fact, you don't know fuck all about fuck all except how to lick boot. Stick to what you're good at.

Hey! Ouch! Wooow! That's quite the silver tongue you have there. With a quality burn like that, you could quite easily take down at least 3 police stations.

Hell, if I had that type of X-Men like power, I'd make the police obsolete. I'd only incinerate them when they really deserve it as individuals, promise.

Pussy. You sit back and let others take the risks for the change you want to see.

You want them burned, go do it.
I don't want police departments burned, but I also don't think they should continue to exist in their current form. If they're gonna be kept around at all, their jobs should be dedicated to responding to violent crime and that's all. And their funding should reflect that. We've got better places to spend our tax dollars.

Nope, no proof of any liberals "going back" on reinvestments in those links, just cause you say it's so doesn't mean it's just that way. But if that's good enough for you, I guess I win.

REFUND the police: Cities are reversing cuts to police budgets

One year after many U.S. cities gave in to dramatic proposals to slash police department budgets, some are having second thoughts and quietly seeking to boost funding for cops as violent crime soars.

The Democratic mayors of New York City, Baltimore and Los Angeles are among those now backpedaling on their vows to defund the police as they face fury from residents over spiraling crime rates.

Well lets go through the specifics of that article, if that's ok. That MSN article is a hilarious obfuscation of what's really going on. New York? Gee they're adding back 92 million after proposed 1 billion slash? Who the hell cares? That's a drop of piss compared to the proposed 1 billion slash.

Are you sure Baltimore is reversing course? Sure, the immediate funding was increased, however with a bit of research, he will create a "taskforce" with the goals of reducing police spending, quote:

"The taskforce in which Scott is referring to is a team he plans to form and one that will come up with a plan to reduce BPD's budget over a five year period." https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/mayor-explains-27-million-increase-to-proposed-bpd-budget

How about Los Angeles? From YOUR OWN article:
"In Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti has proposed an increase of about $50 million after the city cut $150 million from the LAPD budget last year."

Still a $100 million cut.

That MSN article isn't worth a damn, every single picture is citing "Daily Mail" oh gee

I find it funny that Conservatives live in their own little reality where the Democrats are anything other than moderate Republicans with the furthest "Left" still being Center-Right Liberals. I wish the Democrats were even slightly as cool as Conservatives/Republicans make them out to be.
