Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis lauded a new state law he championed as "the strongest anti-rioting, pro-law enforcement piece of legislation in the country."
New York City officials last year said they agreed to remove $1 billion from the police department’s spending. (The Citizens Budget Commission, a watchdog group, said the net reduction to the police budget so far has been about $477 million.) The department’s total budget for 2021 was $10.2 billion.
