Police Reversal: From Defund to Refund - America Backs Blue

from Heroes Behind the Badge

Citizens Behind the Badge founders Craig Floyd, Dennis Collins, and Bill Erfurth reveal how their 5-year mission transformed the national conversation from "defund" to "refund" law enforcement. After cities slashed hundreds of millions from police budgets following 2020, the devastating consequences became undeniable: homicides surged 30%, officers fled the profession, and response times skyrocketed.But the pendulum has swung back hard. Minneapolis restored every dollar of their $8 million police cuts. A 53% drop in officer line-of-duty deaths proves increased public compliance. Senate resolutions now celebrate law enforcement instead of condemning it. The hosts expose how media lies about "systemic racism" crumbled against cold statistics: 99% of 62 million annual police interactions involve zero misconduct.KEY MOMENTS:2:24 - The moment defund movement triggered CBB's creation13:17 - How cities went from cutting to restoring police funding33:53 - ICE agents under attack: 700% assault increase42:16 - Proof the pro-police culture shift is saving lives49:05 - The statistical demolition of anti-police narrativesJoin the movement at CitizensBehindtheBadge.org and help continue America's return to law and order.#PoliceReversal #DefundToRefund #BackTheBlue #LawAndOrder #PoliceSupport #CitizensBehindTheBadge #LawEnforcement
