Your right wing parties actually fund your police? Ours underfund them like everything else. They basically just exist to give you a reference number to give you your insurance company now.

Though I don't know where you live, I'd be surprised if your police were actually underfunded. More likely the funds are wildly mismanaged and spent on garbage like crowd control weaponry, fear-mongering "everyone is an active enemy combatant"-style training, or straight up APCs.

In many cities they get half or more of the entire city budget, not to speak of the billions the last two presidential administrations have put into policing.

That's why I said your right. Ours have been systematically underfunding all public services, including the police.
