> Following Black Lives Matter protests in the US in 2014, funding for police training at all levels of government skyrocketed, and some cities proposed additional police training facilities. A similar facility was approved in New York City in 2015 following the police killing of Eric Garner, and also in Chicago following a string of police killings in that city between 2014 and 2016.[11]

Protestors: Police should have better training.

Police: Build big training center

Protestors: No, not like thaaaat!!

Why do police need big training centers to learn about the constitution and our rights, escalation of force, etc? I learned all that stuff in a single room when I was in the military.

So yea, “not like that” indeed.

Look at the numbers for number of people who die from interactions with police (both armed and unarmed) and then compare that to the extra violent deaths that happen because of defund the police polices and then let us know what you find. Only then can you make the claim you are implying. Otherwise you are doing the conspiracy theory thing where you present random data and then imply the idea you are pushing.

Can you give me examples of where police were actually defunded?

I lived in Oakland. It happened there (and about a dozen other major cities). Gaslighting voters is how you lost to Trump.
