The big gulf between Republican and Democrats over police reform versus law enforcement funding was on full display Tuesday night when the Minnesota House debated a major public safety budget bill. Republican Eric Lucero from Dayton says Democrats are anti-police:
” ‘Defund the police!’… You need only look to the leaders of Minneapolis.”
New Hope Democrat Cedrick Frazier responded:
“We say on this side, we’re not saying we want to de-fund police . And I’ll just say this: Point to me anywhere in this bill that says we’re de-funding the police…. But it’s not in this bill anywhere.”
