Apologies, reread and get it now. 


I still think saying that "At the county and city level the Democratic party 100% embraced the "defund the police" movement and in many places continue to do so." is hyperbolic.  The 20 or so cities encompassed in your citations are not "100%", and many of those cities are not 'defunding the police', but incorporating mental health and other services into responses. 

I get why this topic 'rankles' you (great use btw), but there are many on the left that abhor the the term 'defund the police' and merely want an expansion of social services and programs that have been decimated by tax cuts over the years.
