Top Democrats are carefully — but forcefully — speaking out against growing calls from activists to defund police departments
In some ways, it’s the story of Pelosi’s second tenure as speaker — forced to balance the demands of an aggressive left flank without alienating the moderate voters who delivered Democrats the House. Schumer, who is suddenly within arm’s reach of a Democratic majority, faces a similar dilemma for Senate candidates in largely purple states.
Other Democrats also weighed in, with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler saying the idea is “easily caricatured by demagogues and Republicans,” and Rep. Madeleine Dean calling the defunding push “divisive and distracting.” And the campaign for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Monday also said the former vice president “does not believe that police should be defunded.”
“It is not crazy for black and brown communities to want what white people have already given themselves and that is funding your schools more than you fund criminalizing your own kids."The police reform bill unveiled by Democrats on Monday is among the most substantial proposals ever targeted at racism in law enforcement, and has already drawn the ire of police unions.
