4 Cops for Every Congressman - But Pelosi Wants More; Pelosi's Report Wants Congress to Have the 8th Largest Police Force in America

4 Cops for Every Congressman - But Pelosi Wants More:

The police defunders have a lot more cops than the taxpayers whose police they want to defund.

In "Surf City," the Beach Boys sang that there were two girls for every boy. But in Swamp City, there are four cops for every Congressman.

That doesn’t refer to Washington D.C.’s already huge concentration of law enforcement and multiple overlapping police forces. Washington D.C. has the highest ratio of police to people of any major city in the country. There are 650 officers for every 100,000 residents in D.C. That’s 40% higher than any other major city in America including Chicago and Baltimore. It has a 58% higher police ratio than New York, more than double that of Boston, and triple that of L.A.

But that’s nothing compared to the private police force dedicated only to protecting Congress.

The Capitol Police, which has been in the spotlight since the Capitol Riot, has over 2,000 sworn officers. Pelosi’s private police force is the 19th largest police force in America.

It’s already larger than the police forces of Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver, and Milwaukee.

While Democrats advocated defunding the police, their private police force budget shot up from $375 million in 2016 to $460 million in 2020. And now it’s demanding even more money. --->READ MORE HERE

While Democrats advocated defunding the police, their private police force budget shot up from $375 million in 2016 to $460 million in 2020.

In today's article, 4 Cops for Every Congressman - But Pelosi Wants More, I noted that the officer per person allocation is much higher than that. --->READ MORE HERE
