Nadler, in primary debate, calls for more federal funds for NYPD; denies past support for police defunding

[FoxNews] Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said Tuesday night that he supports more federal funds for the New York Police Department, denying that this is inconsistent with a position he took two years ago at the height of the "defund the police" movement.

In a primary debate that pitted the House Judiciary Committee chair against House Oversight Committee chair Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and progressive Suraj Patel, a moderator confronted Nadler over a 2020 interview he gave with a local publication in which he appeared to support defunding. Nadler insisted that is not what happened.

"I did not say I favored defunding," Nadler said. "I said that I thought some resources should be shifted from the police to mental health and social services, as they were … because the cops can’t do everything, you need social services and mental health services in order to decrease crime too."

#4 Dunno; it was posited that one of the objectives of Defund the Police was to remove local control for Federal; play for who pays you. Create an instability to the point the tax payers will take any force creating protection but not to the point local gangs fill the role. Seems about on target.
