Ed defund police movement gaining traction. Despite the recent protest, the majority of black Americans, according to Gallup, do not want less police presence in their communities. The new Gallup poll finding eighty one percent want police to spend either the same amount of time in their communities or more time in their area, while just nineteen percent say that they want police to spend less time here to react is former Nypd lieutenant Dr Darrin Porcher? What are you hearing? Do you agree with those numbers that thats accurate? I think that the african american community definitely wants police in their neighborhoods. The african american community is under siege. They are not as Monday list thick as whats being perceived by these far left groups that are touting the slogans of defunding police or quote unquote. Depolicing. These communities are being plagued by gun, violence and homicides that are destroying these communities. So, as a result, we clearly need more police in these communities and not a

defunding or less policing as beings portrayed by people such as Congresswoman Bass in California Ainsley. We are seeing crime go up just staggering numbers here in the city, which is pretty scary, scary, if you have children and some robberies in my community now there was an article recently in the paper about this. So when you see these numbers going up, I think most people in America just want the bad apples out. They want the racist cops out, but the majority of them are not the majority of law enforcement, really good individuals, good hearted people, and do it for not a lot of money right. I think thats. The majority of us believe that we dont necessarily want all police gone or a fewer police officers. We, as Americans want quintessential policing in the neighborhoods that we occupy, or we inhabit, so to speak. So as a result, we are all for police reform. However, it needs to be done. Smartly sure lets remove the bad apples, but by and large police are there to provide a service and protecting the community in

connection with the social contract. As a result of that, we need police. Therefore, we as a community need to coalesce around police to ensure that our communities are being protected and the far left is driving a narrative that is inaccurate in connection with the silent majority, the silent majority wants police this their communities so Congresswoman Karen Bass. She has recently said that its not defunds the police, now she wants to call it refunding the community. Listen to this, I would stay a little different. I say clearing throat instead of saying defund, the police, I say, refund the communities. I think that my years of activism, which has been several decades here, my years of activism in this particular historical moment could allow me to be the branch, the bridge to the activism that is happening in the streets that could help bring us together. Ainsley Dr Porcher whats your reaction.

We will not have social workers parachute into the communities as Superman. This is something that needs to be done by police on the ground, so as a result of reorganization or defunding, as in essence as Congresswoman Bass is speaking to that money needs to come back to police departments and we need more resources and not less. Police are the first line of defense. They are the subject matter, experts in connection with with interdicting crime on the grounds Ainsley, Dr Porcher, thanks so much for your service as a police officer law enforcement officer. We really appreciate it. You are a hero.
