Coburn said the Constitution gives the federal government no role in funding local police departments.
"It's a nice thing to do if we were in surplus," he said. "We're not in surplus."

We have a huge surplus in this country.
It's all in the pockets of the 1%.
And it's way past due that we took it back from them.

From the link: "The bill has 26 co-sponsors, but none are Republican."
Guess these guys know what they are doing blocking a measly $22 million. They are taking on the cops, not a very good idea IMO.
"The bill's supporters include the Fraternal Order of Police, International Association of Chiefs of Police, the National Sheriff's Association and the National Association of Police Organizations."

Their union is so strong it takes a lot to fire them, one reason they are so powerful. They are largely outside our ability to censure.
They may be the strongest union outside of the bar associations that run the country.
