Defunding police is ‘the last thing you want to do’: Kim Klacik | Sky News AustraliaBaltimore Republican congressional candidate Kim Klacik has told Sky News the real story on the streets is that people want more police, but “apparently in the media it’s another story”.\n\nMs Klacik rose to prominence in recent weeks after a campaign video of her in her native Baltimore went viral after she exposed the inherent issues in her mainly black district which gone unfixed by countless Democratic administrations.\n\n“We didn’t meet anyone in Baltimore city that wants to defund the police,” she said.\n\nIn recent months, the move to defund the police has gained serious momentum after the killing of unarmed African American man George Floyd by police sparked a national and international Black Lives Matter movement.\n\nMs Klacik said defunding the police is the “last thing you want to do” when a city like Baltimore has had five straight years of over 300 murders.\n\nIn the past year alone Baltimore had over 700 shootings, and 400 carjackings, according to Ms Klacik.\n\n“So the people that end up being preyed upon, are the black people,” she said.\n\n“That’s not what we want. In the streets they want more police, but apparently in the media it’s another story.”\n\n
