RUSH EXCERPT:
GAMALDI: “ Well, yeah, I mean, absolutely, it’s a massive number. And what we’re seeing is these cities that are deciding to defund the police, they’re seeing huge spikes in homicide. As you said, philadelphia, 38%. Washington, D.C., 35%. portland, 800%. minneapolis, 56%. and in seattle they’re seeing the highest murder rate they’ve seen in over 30 years. And we need to as a society stop pretending like defunding the police is you are rational policy — irrational policy positions to have. We’ve seen murder rates, over 20,000 murders last year. It’s the highest we’ve seen in a generation, and yet we continue to hear defund the police, and the very people that are responsible for responding, mitigating and then investigating those homicides. I mean, it is complete insanity to keep talking about defunding the police, but that’s where we are nowadays in this country where, apparently, two plus two equals five.”
