And in case Dems are curious, last year’s “defund the police” is not sitting very well with their base:
These are staggering new poll numbers from @USATODAY on the views of Detroit residents on issues of crime and policing, and constitute yet more evidence of how wide the gap is between the discourse of media elites on these questions and everyone else:https://t.co/6Uw4sxyUQb

"Amid a jump in violent crime in this and other cities nationwide, Detroit residents report being much more worried about public safety than about police misconduct….
By an overwhelming 9-1, they would feel safer with more cops on the street, not fewer."

Black residents in Detroit care much more about stopping violent crime than they do reforming the police. White residents care more about reforming the police by a small margin.
Who is most victimized by crime and who isn't is a huge factor in the discourse on these issues. pic.twitter.com/J8jxjTqBgt

AOC, @JamaalBowmanNY, and @RashidaTlaib spent a full year chanting DEFUND THE POLICE!!
Then, when it came time to fund the police that protects them — the Capitol Police — they refused to block the $2 billion increase, but chose to give Pelosi the huge increase she demanded. pic.twitter.com/YHKRa8R7m7
