Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) said he\u2019s \u201cdeeply disappointed\u201d in his colleagues on the left for repeated calls to defund police.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview on Friday, the South Carolina Republican said he refuses to support a bill that \u201cdemoralizes\u201d local law enforcement and \u201cdestabilizes\u201d communities. The lawmaker also pointed to big liberal cities like Minneapolis, Portland and Seattle, where police reform issues originated under blue leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone knows that change requires resources and what the Democrats wanted to do was tie accreditation to more money or less money,\u201d said Scott. \u201cThey literally said if you do not become an accredited department around this nation, we will cut your ability to apply for grants.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Experts warned without those government funded grants, which are at risk of being held hostage by the left, more law enforcement officers are expected to leave the force. They lament this will only add to the mass exodus from departments nationwide.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">When we demoralize and defund officers, we destabilize the communities they serve. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jtXpFjRDFJ\">pic.twitter.com\/jtXpFjRDFJ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tim Scott (@SenatorTimScott) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenatorTimScott\/status\/1441403455206162439?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 24, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As Democrats continue to cling to what Scott calls their \u201cmisguided idea of perfect\u201d in regards to police reform, crime is likely to increase and citizens will be left unguarded.&nbsp;Meanwhile, a bipartisan agreement appears distant as police overhaul discussions continue on Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/mayorkas-no-more-haitian-migrants-under-del-rio-bridge\/\">Mayorkas: No More Haitian Migrants Under Del Rio Bridge<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 SEPTEMBER 14: U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.) speaks before a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee oversight hearing on the SEC on September 14, 2021 in &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-811078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811078","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=811078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/811078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=811078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=811078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=811078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
