San Diego, a once great conservative city in California has gone to crap like the rest of California over the years. But they still aren’t as bad as Los Angeles or the feces filled streets of San Francisco.

Amid increased calls to defund police departments across the country, one southern California community is going against the grain.
On Monday, the San Diego City Council agreed to keep a previously drafted pay increase for its officers. This came despite thousands of residents calling in to demand funding for the department, instead, be allocated to local communities.
The City Council reached a decision after 12 hours of calls and debate. Under Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s plan, $27 million will be added to the departments current budget of $566 million. He said the plan is in response to the coronavirus pandemic and will cover pay raises as well as other safety related expenses.
