Data: Metro PD response times keep getting longer

When seconds count, the police are hours away. Nashville elected to defund the police after George Floyd and the Hambrick-Delke shooting.

You must be a new Trumpublican transplant to Tennessee. Let me explain - Nashville was absolutely wild in the 1960s-1990s. Also, Minneapolis is not Nashville - so what Fox News says happens in Minnesota (18 hours drive north of Nashville) isn't always going to happen in every city, everywhere. That's silly propaganda. There hasn't been a defunding of police, as they still answer to the Republican Governor Lee - also there in Nashville - MNPD is 170 officers short, but top out pay is $90,000 per year in a town where rental homes are $1761/month average. In fact a quick google search reveals that the Police Budget has increased yearly since before Freddy O'Connell took office in September 2023. So again, Fox News Missed the Mark on Local events and spreading malicious propaganda in the otherwise Moderately Still Conservative Nashville.
