My city approved a quarter of a BILLION dollars for the police department out of the budget for the coming year. The police department ALREADY (like many other cities across the country) received the bulk of the COVID American Rescue Plan funds. Originally it was earmarked for police reforms but they changed it to renovations and improvements for LMPD HQ and a motherfucking WELLNESS CENTER (for cops).
Please think about that for any police department in the country. Now let me tell you where I live, Louisville KY. You might have heard of our cops, they murder people? The DOJ says they violate the civil rights of multiple groups of citizens. Our tax dollars go to pay off lawsuits filed against them because we lost the insurance policy that did that for them years ago due to insurance companies not being suckers. Us taxpayers just have to suck it up though. The DEMOCRAT mayor cut funding to all kinds of other programs so he could kit them out even more and they STILL haven't signed the consent decree yet. It's outrageous. They just killed someone last week too. I definitely feel safer and like it's totally worth it to not have any nice programs anymore. Fuck these cops.
