The Trumpers have been campaigning on fear throughout their history. Fear that socialism would take over. Fear that we'd lose our suburbs. Fear that the police would be defunded and shut down.
Now the Justice Department is awarding $139 billion to police forces across the country. Nice that the Justice Department can perform democratic tasks instead of being a personal legal department as it was for four years.
The Justice Department said on Thursday it's giving $139 million to police departments across the U.S. as part of a grant program that would bring on more than 1,000 new officers.
The grant funding comes through the Justice Department’s Office of Community Oriented Policing Services and will be awarded to 183 law enforcement agencies across the country and in U.S. territories. The funding is meant to help police departments reduce crime and to encourage community policing.
“We are committed to providing police departments with the resources needed to help ensure community safety and build community trust,” Attorney General Merrick Garland.
FDR said the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Now what we have to fear is the fearmongers. You know, the liars who would like to demolish and abolish democracy.
True Republicans are famous for abolishing slavery. Trumpers are now attempting to become (in)famous for abolishing democracy.
