What police are under control of Joe Biden?
Your ridiculous assertion that Democrats want to increase police is not based in reality. You live in fantasyland.
Time to give up your guns.

Lol, I just can't make this stuff up man. The federal government provides funding for local police departments that leads directly to putting more police hiring. Just delusional.
Here is reality
How Federal Dollars Fund Local Police
An array of federal agencies funnel grants to local law enforcement. But some say that federal involvement undermines community accountability and focuses more on enforcement than minimizing harm.
www.npr.org
Federal departments ranging from the Department of Justice to the Department of Agriculture have grant programs aimed at hiring more police, equipping them and constructing new police facilities.
Probably the most well-known of all such initiatives is the Community Oriented Policing Services program, established as part of the 1994 crime bill. The Department of Justice, which oversees the COPS program, says it has provided $14 billion since its inception to hire and train local police involved in community policing.
Earlier this month, Attorney General William Barr announced the awarding of nearly $400 million for fiscal year 2020 under the program, intended to pay for the hiring of 2,732 police officers in 596 law enforcement agencies. Some of that money will also go to communities to hire school resource officers
Incidentally, as part of his criminal justice initiative, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has pledged to spend $300 million for the COPS program.
The Department of Justice also administers the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program. It provides funds to states, territories, tribes and local government for law enforcement and corrections programs. According to its website, there was nearly $264 million available in the 2019 fiscal year.
DOJ has other grants as well, including the Patrick Leahy Bulletproof Vest Partnership, named for the Democratic senator from Vermont, and part of the Bureau of Justice Assistance, which also provides grants for a multitude of programs, including body cameras and "innovative policing techniques."
Congress authorized that federal funds be allocated to local law enforcement agencies for another purpose: to guard against and respond to terrorist attacks. In the current fiscal year, the Department of Homeland Security has nearly $1.8 billion available for communities in its preparedness grants program. Localities that receive the funding must agree to allocate at least 25% to law enforcement under most of the grants.
One agency that seemingly has little connection with police, the Agriculture Department, also hands out law enforcement grants. Under its Rural Development Community Facility grant program, towns of under 5,000 population can apply for money to construct new police facilities or, in some instances, buy new police cruisers.
And the Department of Defense provides surplus military equipment to law enforcement agencies with its so-called 1033 program, which critics have charged has led to the increased militarization of civilian police.

What Caused the Great Crime Decline in the U.S.?
After decades of soaring levels of homicides and drug violence, the country’s crime rate plunged dramatically over the last 25 years. What happened?

Again, the Joe Biden who controls the Democratic political platform ran on more cops on the streets. He ran on more funding for the police. This is the official democratic policy position

Then crime rates went down. And then they kept going down.”
From your article.
Yea just like you have been told multiple times now. You people are clueless.

I actually posted that article here before just to make fun of them.
How many opps have you smoked and do you listen to the police when they pull you over?
This is honestly how these nutjobs view the issue lol…
“In the early 1990s, U.S. crime rates had been on a steep upward climb since the Lyndon B. Johnson presidency. The crack-cocaine epidemic in the mid-1980s added fuel to the fire, and handgun-related homicides more than doubled between 1985 and 1990. That year, murders peaked in New York City with 2,245 killings. Politicians embraced tough-on-crime platforms and enacted harshly punitive policies. Experts warned the worst could be yet to come.
Then crime rates went down. And then they kept going down.
By decade’s end, the homicide rate plunged 42 percent nationwide. Violent crime decreased by one-third. What turned into a precipitous decline started later in some areas and took longer in others. But it happened everywhere: in each region of the country, in cities large and small, in rural and urban areas alike. In the Northeast, which reaped the largest benefits, the homicide rate was halved. Murders plummeted by 75 percent in New York City alone as the city entered the new millennium.
The trend kept ticking downward from there, more slowly and with some fluctuations, to the present day. By virtually any metric, Americans now live in one of the least violent times in the nation’s history.
But the forces that drove the Great American Crime Decline remain a mystery. Theories abound among sociologists, economists, and political scientists about the causes, with some hypotheses stronger than others. But there’s no real consensus among scholars about what caused one of the largest social shifts in modern American history.”

yeah it’s not a mystery dumbs. It’s called weaponizing the police against murderous drug cartels and slapping up all these organized crime rings with RICO charges throwing the

They just act so clueless, like it’s some great mystery. It’s not. The fall of the five families, the tougher crime laws, Rico. All of this contributed to combating organized crime in America, reducing the crime rates across the board.

No beef there. Probably.
But I care more about whether it's safe to walk in the neighborhood. Mass incarceration helped solve that.
corporations destroyed the food supply, medicine, the economy, the govt, unions.
which probably makes it unsafe to walk in the neighborhood.
i just looked up crime rates and the countries with lowest crime rates are not prison states like america
