Don’t play into his hands.

Why? They just show BS on Fox News regardless. Remember the palm trees in Wisconsin during the Scott walker reign of terror?

Peaceful protest is all well and good but they’re fascists. They lie. No reason to worry about what they’ll say. It’ll be lies.

Despite 'defunding' claims, police funding has increased in many US cities - Oct '22

Of the 109 budgets analyzed, only eight agencies cut police funds by more than 2%, while 91 agencies increased law enforcement funding by at least 2%.

In 49 cities or counties, police funding has increased by more than 10%.

"Overwhelmingly, cities, counties, police departments across the country are not being defunded in any way," Ray said. "In fact, many of them have increased their budgets. Part of the reason why the 'defund the police' narrative has stayed around is because police officers say it and elected officials say it."
