Can you explain why you assume that cutting funds for the police would decrease crime?

Why would a trend of increasing crimerate reverse if you cut police funding "more than slightly"?

I think it’s more likely due to the fact that there are less social safety nets. When people can’t afford to live crime will increase. We’re working more and earning less. Productivity is increasing but the labor is experiencing any of the benefits.

When people can work a full time job and still not afford to support themselves you can’t act surprised when crime increases.
