Mr. Donegan fails to mention that the worst homicide rates in the nation are in Republican led states where supposedly they didn’t clamor for defunding the police. In fact, the top eight states for murder rates are all deep red and 20 out of the top 25 have Republican governors.
Democrats in the House of Representatives, being thoughtful and pragmatic, have noticed this problem and recently passed the Invest to Protect Act which will provide $60 million a year to local law enforcement.
