Dollars and nonsense: House Republicans vote to defund D.C. police and schools
51st.news
Congress could force D.C. to cut $1.1 billion out of its local budget, which could lead to cuts in services and layoffs.

Basically, house Republicans voted to defund DC police because even though it’s not federal money, they fact that that have the power to pass laws affecting DC means that they can claim these as “cuts”. Again, defunding the DC police doesn’t help the federal government save a dime. But it’s technically a budget cut, just not the budget cut they’re supposed to working on. Yes, it’s that silly.

    What about the thin blue line as the libs were calling for defunding the police?

      They will just replace with military. It’s not like they are going to go unprotected. I think this is all about a grudge Krasnov has against the DC police defending the capital on January 6th 2021 from his planned insurrection.
