Not acceptable to block rape kit funding, but we've been in support of defunding the police for some time.

It's tax payer money fucking assholes.

Like they actually test the rape kits to begin with..at least from what I've heard

DOJ: if you block ICE we'll abolish your police!

Leftists: promise?

What a great opportunity to tear the police department down and rebuild it from the ground up

So more federal funding being politicized.

When do states capture federal taxes and use it themselves to fund what the federal government keeps withholding?

Okay. The blurb below the link specifies it's federal funding being threatened. Do you really want police, and rape tests, funded by a guy who diddles children and attacks racial and sexual minorities? Here's an idea. Fund your police locally. Your police should answer to the citizens they support, not your felon-in-chief.

It's nice the federal government offers funding for these things, but it could be sourced locally.

Also, don't some of the more liberal states (e.g. California, New York) contribute more greatly to these federal funds? What if those states simply stopped paying? The federal government would be taking a loss on their stance here, and I don't think they'd stand for that for very long. So it seems like this is a losing battle if NY and CA resist.

Will coincide perfectly with soldiers getting testosterone shots they don't need and fox saying they'll be raping more women.

Then those police departments need to be broken up, and defunded, so that people who are useful to society can take the state thug's jobs that they aren't doing.
