If you want more dead people defund the police, age isn’t relevant when incriminate killings occur and the beasts that kill don’t care about age or connection, they just want fear!

"When New York police officers temporarily reduced their “proactive policing” efforts on low-level offenses, major-crime reports in the city actually fell, according to a study based on New York Police Department crime statistics."

"Newly released dispatch data show that New Haven police officers respond to a head-spinning diversity of calls every year — and that only a small percentage of those calls involve violent offenses."
https://www.google.com/amp/s/http://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/19/upshot/unrest-police-time-violent-crime.amp.html
"A review of publicly available data in three areas reveals that much of an officer’s job revolves around handling routine calls rather than violent crime."
And it goes on. Police rarely solve crimes. They rarely get calls to violent crimes. They don't prevent crime. When there's fewer police, there's fewer calls. Most of their calls are responding to property issues.
So yet another false headline from FoxNews. Those two incidents have nothing to do with "Defund" the police.

Well this study seems to indicate that increasing police reduces serious crime and arrests for serious crime. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2021/04/20/988769793/when-you-add-more-police-to-a-city-what-happens
When You Add More Police To A City, What Happens?

One of the problems with police response is you are never sure which calls or responses will lead to violence.

That headline is BS. If there is a causal link, please provide it, because there's not one in the article.

I am not sure it is BS, these economists seem to feel increasing p9lice presents reduces crime! https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2021/04/20/988769793/when-you-add-more-police-to-a-city-what-happens

LTC David Brown - a study is not a causal link, and the conventional wisdom from numerous studies was that reported crime goes up when you add officers.

Capt Gregory Prickett - well can you post your studies? This isn’t a casual link, you can look up their study.

LTC David Brown - I'll be happy to do so, right after you post the link(s) which show that the deaths were caused by defunding the police up there.

While the idea of completely defunding the police is not a good idea (or the goal of most people that use this phrase), tieing any particular criminal activity to be the result of the movement is a non sequitur.
