Republican attorneys general across the country are pushing back on calls to defund law enforcement agencies in the wake of the protests over police brutality and racial injustice – arguing that cutting budgets to police departments would be “extremely dangerous and reckless.”
Police departments have recently come under renewed scrutiny following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died after a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck for almost nine minutes. Floyd’s death, along with that of Breonna Taylor in Louisville, Ky., fueled nationwide protests and elevated calls among some activists and demonstrators to defund the police.
But a number of Republican attorneys general say that cutting funding to police departments would only increase crime and not solve the issue of reforming law enforcement agencies. At least a dozen GOP AGs have spoken out against the push.

FOAD domestic enemies, as always!
Crippling the police with restrictions that make arrests any more difficult than they are now is as bad as defunding.
#DefendThePolice
It’s so Crazy only a Democrat would support it
We're less than 24 hours away from every leftist and Democrat claiming that no leftist or Democrat ever supported defunding the police, and anyone who says otherwise is a crazy racist Republican conspiracy theorist.
