11:05Now PlayingOn a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, guest Tim Kennedy, a former Army sniper, blamed the Uvalde police’s response to the school shooting at Robb Elementary School on the “defund the police” movement. Despite the Uvalde Police Department eating up almost 40% of the city’s budget, the department employs a parttime SWAT team and accepted a half a million dollar grant from the federal government to bolster equipment and weaponry. Ana Kasparian and David Shuster discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"A guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast recently appeared to link police inaction during the Uvalde shootings with the “defund the police” campaign, calling it a “byproduct of what society’s forced the police to become”.
Supporters of the movement believe that moving funding from police departments to other industries could lessen police brutality and racial inequalities that arise between officers and citizens. They have pushed in recent years for government funding to prioritise housing, employment, community health and education instead of law enforcement.
Former US Army sniper Tim Kennedy, who was promoting his latest books Scars and Stripes on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, said a “demonisation” of the police force was underway. He was speaking about the mass shooting in Texas in May that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
“What we’re experiencing right now is a byproduct of what society has forced the police to become, you know, they’re demonising military training for law enforcement,” Mr Kennedy, who was a member of the US Army Special Forces, said."
