MSNBC contributor Brittany Packnett Cunningham argued Monday that rising crime in New York City is not the fault of the Defund the Police movement but rather the police themselves.
"This rise in crime is not the fault of the movement," said Cunningham, a former member of President Barack Obama's 21st Century Policing Task Force. "It's actually the fault of the police."
"Why should we keep funding systems and institutions that keep rendering themselves ineffective?" she asked.
To "ensure truly safe streets," Cunningham suggested further discussion of gun control, livable wages, fair housing, and education.
yes really .... if the police weren't out murdering blacks ... there wouldn't have been BLM and Defund the Police
