A House GOP resolution condemning the defund the police movement specifies support for 'local law enforcement,' after the Durham report marred the FBI.
"many local jurisdictions defunded their police departments and saw a subsequent increase in violent crime" and"leftist activists and progressive politicians called for the defunding and dismantling of local police departments across the country and actively encouraged resentment toward local law enforcement."
The word"local" contrasts with the language from the resolution included in a package of 11"ready-to-go" bills incoming House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., flagged in a December letter to his Republican colleagues that could be brought to the floor in the first two weeks of the party regaining majority in January 2023.
Once a rallying cry for much of the Democratic Party, the"defund the police" movement has seen opposition from President Biden. The president released a video message this week explicitly stressing that"the answer is not to defend," before touting his administration's own initiatives on gun control and the American Rescue Plan funding.
That committee's next hearing is Thursday and will include testimony from three FBI whistleblowers and"will examine abuses seen at the Bureau and how the FBI has retaliated against whistleblowers."
