You mean as they've been with Trump throughout his presidency?
FINALLY he's facing the consequence for being a moral imbecile and a shit president.

Too bad for too many of the 270K COVID dead because he 'didn't want to panic us' DESPITE knowing more than he let on. Too bad about the economic dislocation because he didn't prioritize the science over his reelection.

What about the consequences of bad policing? People die and cities pay out in wrongful death suits and watch insurance rates for those suits rise.

Police budgets have been sacrosanct, there have been no consequences for waste in those budgets, now there are.

And what kind of bigot moron lists all the groups he's bigoted against, as though they are assigned to respond by the characteristics you've listed?

YOU don't want an unjustified killing on your hands by definition, you idiot. Unless of course you believe there should be no consequences for such a killing. Your logic is as bad as your hypocrisy

Even without massive policing overhauls, it’s significant that cities are including law enforcement budgets in the spending cuts they are being forced to make as tax revenue has shriveled during the coronavirus pandemic, said Insha Rahman, a vice president at the Vera Institute of Justice. In Milwaukee, for example, the Democratic mayor has proposed eliminating 120 officer positions through attrition to deal with a citywide budget deficit.

Police spending accounts for one-fourth to half of government spending in most big cities and has sometimes been considered untouchable.

“We are seeing in big city councils, like in New York City, the budget conversation has been dominated by what actually delivers public safety,” Rahman said.

Some departments got a one-time boost this year from an $850 million law enforcement package approved by Congress to deal with coronavirus-related expenses.

While there have been no massive defunding actions, policing changes are being considered in cities across the U.S.

In Davenport, Iowa, the Civil Rights Commission is asking the City Council to consider a list of initiatives on public safety, including reallocating money from police to social services and community programs.

Henry Karp, the commission vice chairman, said he is hopeful the measures will be adopted, though he expects resistance,.

He cited the August shooting by police of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, which left the Black man paralyzed. Like Kenosha, Davenport is a Midwestern city of about 100,000 people.

“That hasn’t happened here yet,” Karp said. “And that’s what we want to prevent.”
