Sen. Rick Scott: Fund the police

The single most ridiculous and irresponsible policy idea that has been suggested in my lifetime can be summed up in three words: “Defund the police.” And yet, it is actually being discussed and debated as if there are pros and cons to it by those on the Left. There are no “pros” to defunding the police. There are no coherent arguments for this lunacy.

I’ve spent a great deal of time talking with law enforcement officers in recent days. The level of anger and disgust in the law enforcement community toward the evil acts of the officers involved in the killing of George Floyd is beyond measure. The callous disregard for human life that was on display in the killing of Mr. Floyd is more difficult to watch than any horror movie.
