Your June 15 front-page article on Democrats’ fear of the phrase “defund the police” does not go far enough (”Push to ‘defund’ some departments worries Democrats”). The truth, I fear to say, is that progressives pushing this antipolice sentiment will guarantee another four years of Donald Trump in the White House. We might as well say, “Crime’s OK with us,” or “Law and order are for the birds.”
