Kansas City lowered funding for police earlier this year, the legislature threw a temper tantrum that they couldn’t force a city to spend more on policing, so now they’re trying to amend the state constitution to require KC to spend a full 25% of their budget on policing.

No we fucking didn't. We did not fucking cut police funding in KC. We actually fund our police way over the state minimum but our dumbass state government want to punish all of KC because a small group of leftists chanting defund the police in a video they saw on Fox news or some shit.

Spend 12.5% on the citizens and 12.5 on the police. May see better results
