Dems pushing police farce that GOP's behind defunding

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Indeed, not a single dollar of the American Rescue Plan was ever reserved for law enforcement spending.
51% : Sixty-seven percent of Democrats support redistributing portions of police budgets towards social programs, compared with only 16 percent of Republicans.
49% : For starters, voting against a supplementary federal spending package isn't the same as proactively cutting law enforcement funding or redirecting existing money -- which is what progressives who support "defund the police" movement advocate.
48% : Black Lives Matter spurred a broad-brush vilification of cops by the Left.
47% : State and local officials could, if they chose, allocate some of the relief funding towards law enforcement, but they there was no mandate to do so.
44% : And, as Psaki and other Democrats know well, the GOP opposition to Biden's plan wasn't grounded on the police funding.
