Full Measure: December 10, 2023 - Wanted: Cops

In 2021, calls to defund the police became familiar across America. New York City cut more than $300 million. Millions were slashed from law enforcement in Baltimore, Maryland, Portland, Oregon, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a black suspect named George Floyd was killed after a police encounter. But a lot has happened since. There’s been an alarming rise in crime and backlash from residents worried about safety. In Atlanta, Georgia, after briefing considering slashing the police budget, they went in the opposite direction, greenlighting a $90 million public safety training center for policing. But Scott Thuman reports it’s sparked violence by protestors who have dubbed it “Cop City.” --------- Full Measure is a weekly Sunday news program focusing on investigative, original and accountability reporting.
