An amazing conclusion! One wonders if this has been a pattern in the past?
I prefer communities taking care of themselves rather than being taken care of
Cuts made by Democrats are “slimmed down.”
Cuts made by Republicans are “slashed,” “axed,” “draconian.”
“• Another bill, sponsored by Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), promotes the use of mental health workers, in lieu of law enforcement officers, in responding to incidents involving people with special behavioral needs”

Police are run and managed by state and local gov.
The Fed already has the FBI to play god with.
“Policing and Community Safety” has what to do with the FedGov Swamp, exactly?
