I know it was eons ago, but remember when a bunch of Trump-supporting conservatives attacked the Capitol and assaulted police? Remember when the GOP filibustered to sink an independent investigation into that very insurrection, severely crippling the chances of bringing those responsible for an assault on police to justice?

But sure, blame 'leftists' and label them 'anti-police' lmao

Was that the time they forced police of a police station then burned it to the ground? Wait, no, that was actually BLM which the far-left continued to support even after that and other real attacks on police?

The right, including the GOP, has overwhelmingly supported police and had their back. There's no amount of false comparisons you could draw to support any other conclusion.

Don't bother. He keeps spreading this rhetoric and not defending it when pressed.

You keep spreading this misinformation but I've frequently torn apart the SAME heavily flawed criticisms time and time again. The brunt of your trollish argument amounts to "Oh! He missed one! Even though it's identical to the three dozen other ones he already responded to!"

As it stands, police are already the #1 line on many municipal budgets by a huge margin. That's focusing a whole lot of funding on cures instead of prevention.

lolwut?

The largest expenditure by far tends to be entitlement spending, followed right behind by education (although in the case of local, it tends to be education first). You have to keep going down further and further and further until you hit police, which only make up 4% of the spend.

Your claim is just a flat-out lie
