FROM COPS, so that instead of sending ARMED OFFICERS to a crime scene, they send WELLNESS COUNSELORS.
He clearly said that in certain instances, they would send wellness counselors ALONG WITH armed officers. Not INSTEAD OF.
That’s fine with me.
He was, like libs always do, having it both ways, talking shit to one side, so that they would think he was supporting them, while talking slightly different shit to the other side of the issue, so that they would think he was supporting them too.
But now we see what is really happening.
They didn't reallhy DEFUND, in that the cops are all still there, they just cut enough to pander to the DEFUND crowd at the unimportant cost of reducing public safety and getting innocent people killed.
And now that it is blowing up in our faces, they are backtracking.
But it is all good. They got some good political mileage out of it, and the only cost is some dead people.
So, not harm done.
