Obama Policing Task Force Member Blames Cops For Democrat-Induced Crime Surges

By Gabe Kaminsky

MSNBC contributor Brittany Packnett Cunningham, who was appointed in 2015 to serve on President Barack Obama’s “Task Force on 21st Century Policing” and is a major defund-the-police activist, claimed on-air that the crime surge is “the fault of the police.”

“Defunding the police is not just about taking money out of an institution that continues to prove ineffective,” Cunningham said. “It’s also about refunding the people.”

“The police haven’t been defunded,” Cunningham continued. “You actually look at the 50 largest cities, law enforcement spending as a share of the general expenditure in each of those cities actually rose slightly from 13.6 percent to 13.7 percent, and many of the cities that have talked about removing that money, like Minneapolis and Seattle, they’ve actually paused or slowed how they were thinking about moving that money. … So this rising crime is not the fault of the movement, it’s actually the fault of the police.”
