You don’t read (Let’s make that watch the news, because you won’t believe anything without pictures.) much, do you? Several liberal cities did exactly that. San Francisco and Seattle were two of the biggest, but there were several others. They took away police funding so that a large percentage of the cops had to be laid off. The crime rate soared, and the homeless took over the streets. Businesses got robbed so often that most stores closed and moved out. It got so bad that the liberal mayors have actually started to restore that funding, because they were losing control of their cities… and crooks don’t pay taxes to support the infrastructure.
So is your joke.
