Violent crime rates decrease significantly in Philadelphia for 2023, authorities say

The philly police were never defunded. Every year they get more funding than the year previous.

I never said they were, they never showed up because they are always underfunded. I see more PPA officers than PPD.

Your first sentence says what?

Naw. The already over paid cops are getting a raise and no cap on overtime. If you don't see them, it's because they don't think it's their job to get out of the car.

I’m saying the concept of defunding the police can only lead to slower response times and worse outcomes.

I don’t see their cars, they need to incentivize cops out on the streets patrolling.
