The Funding Controversy: The conversation will delve into the consequences of the Defund the Police movement’s influence on police funding, emphasizing Biden’s proposed redirecting of funds from police departments to social services, mental health counseling and affordable housing, per CNN’s Fact Check.

He will provide insight into how these dynamics influence public perception and policymaking, impacting law enforcement on the frontline.
