1. They mention a Manhattan Institute. Expert at making "think tanks" that put false info out there.
2. It accidentally mentions the FBI statistics showing black people were attacked more during Trump, highest at 2020.
So headline should be:"Murder of black people highest during Trump's 2020" not how it reads here.
Exclusiff
Hes kinda right killing black people is probably cops retaliation and intimidation to stop. The article isn't saying it. But we know
jimmythehat1
Anyone know if there’s a way to block fox “news” articles from appearing while browsing the Internet?
Farzhad
There's a nonzero chance this sort of headline coming from Fox would make racists actually support defunding the police (& that is fucked up
unluckyandbored
LE budgets have gone UP almost universally.
prolorus
Any time someone uses the word “massive” I know they’re likely to lie/distort.

No surprise there. That headline screams false before you even read one word of the article.

Fox lying again. It's sad that there are at least 70 million idiots that actually believe the bullshit on Fox.
CAustinC0x
FOX does not care. Its "readers" barely process the the title. Reading takes time away from owning libs. No time for read. Must own libs.
JinxRocks
So Fox is saying the threat of changing police budgets since none have actually been defunded yet made cops mad enough to kill. Gotcha.
LewdSomnambulist
This is funny because not a single police department in America has their budget cut over the last two years

lol of course it's Fox. If this utter bullshit were actually true, Republicans would support Defund.

Yea, I want to see the receipts. I mean if they're so underfunded and understaffed, why do the police have tanks and complain about money?

and this shit will never change. because if anyone comes after them, they start to scream "FREEDOM OF THE PRESS!" and "FIRST AMENDMENT!!!"

Honestly "defund the police" is one of the worst slogans ever and hurt the movement more than it helped.

Since we're talking per capita & not raw numbers, and domestic violence is definitely included, that may not work out like you think it will

Surprised not to see Illinois up there with how much my dad likes to talk about how bad chicago has gotten ?

You need to talk to your dad about propaganda. Chicago isn't even the worst city in Illinois when it comes to violence.

She's probably right: the movement made the cops angry and when they get angry they kill even more black people.

Exactly, faux news is just porn for fascists, you don't go there to be informed, you go there to fulfill some sick urge you have.
SithElephant
Also, the fact that no police was meaningfully defunded would kinda be relevant.
OnyxTurret
Correlation not causation. Should be "Black People murdered, people respond Police are Useless!"
Bhargo
yeah I like how republican idiots try to blame every crime on defunded police when nobody fucking got defunded
palmo
Well good news in Minneapolis where they murdered George Floyd they're *checks notes* trying to get more cops that will murder us. Fuck
gofrog
There was a mass exodus of officers after that. Now they're understaffed and overworked. Stressed cops can be even more dangerous.
palmo
Or we could actually fucking fund alternatives to police and take a lot of those duties they aren't trained for away from them.
Raygereio
That weirdly doesn't stop US police from crying they have been defunded. And people believing that.
Lampmonster
Welcome to conservatives. Hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug.

You mean, love each other. All the estrogen in soy will make men gay. Aren't you listening?

I was on that thread on Twitter and they absolutely believe there are no cops and no funding, cops are the 5th largest army in the world
mrthewhitee
There has been 0 meaningful "defund the police" initiatives. Most places increased budgets. The few that happened actually reduced crime.
bluemyles
This isn't true, Portland in particular is struggling with a crime wave and an officer shortage. Its not as simple as defund = less crime.
experiencemike
Didn't Seattle have a zone created that was policing itself. Wouldn't that count? Did we forget what happened in Seattle? It was a shit show
CthuluCupcakeParty
Not exactly, the mayor ordered police to leave area as a "sign of trust" to protestors, following an incident that caused some rioting-
CthuluCupcakeParty
Most that came from that iirc was a reduction in police admin budget and then the police chief resigning

This article suggests theres more context there. Some places did cut, crime spiked, then they quickly restored it. Source:

That’s an opinion piece, with neither specifics or statistics, & mostly confirms that a poorly chosen slogan becomes a liability.

This is better. To be clear, I wasn't agreeing with Fox, just adding context https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/10/us/dallas-police-defund.html
gamejeepboi
Did you read the same article? Because it suggests the exact opposite.
gamejeepboi
“The overwhelming majority of American cities did not pursue defund the police initiatives, and the murder rate trends were national.”
sambaah05
Agreed. But it does acknowledge some places cut, then restored their budget. I wasn't agreeing with Fox, just adding context.

How is that legal? Oh ... right America is a failed state.

Correction here, its 50 failed states under the umbrella of 1 failed country. Credit where credit is due dawg.

Fox is legally "entertainment" not a news station.
freckledkink
Damn. I thought that was true as well. FCC has no control over cable, so they can lie all they want. Although they can get in trouble if
freckledkink
They knowingly do it too much and get complaints. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fox-news-entertainment-switch/
IrrationalNumber
So if a newspaper prints comics it is no longer considered "news"? Something can contain both news and entertainment
Arrolis
That is incorrect. Though, it is true that Fox News Network fought to be a cable program, and in doing can avoid most FCC regulations.
