The sister of a federal officer who was shot and killed during a George Floyd protest told Congress Wednesday that the calls to defund or abolish the police are absurd.
“It is a ridiculous solution to claim that defunding police departments is the solution to police brutality and discrimination because it’s not a solution. It gets us nowhere as a nation and removes the safety net protection that every citizen deserves from their communities elected officials,” Angela Underwood Jacobs said at the House Judiciary Committee’s hearing on police brutality, as reported by Fox News.
