Democratic Mayors Defunded Their Police, While Spending Millions On Their Own Police Protection (July 20, 2021)

In 25 major U.S. cities across the country, officials have already cut – or have proposed cutting — funds from police budgets.
However, in as many as 20 of those same cities, mayors and other city officials enjoy the personal protection of a dedicated police security detail. In many cities, this security costs taxpayers millions of dollars per year.
Chicago spent $17.3 million between 2015 and 2020 to guard “unnamed city officials.” That’s as Mayor Lori Lightfoot said she’s opposed to defunding police while – we found – 400 police officers positions were quietly cut during 2020.
