One of the many reasons why the Biden administration is actually more dangerous than the Trump administration.
Alabama’s most conservative Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville offered up a ridiculous amendment to remove federal funding from any city or county that voted to defund the police. Every single Democrat in the room joined every single Republican in the room to declare that they have zero support for defunding the police.
In a 99-0 vote, the entire senate voted to penalize and revoke funding from any city that supports defunding the police. Even Bernie and Raphael Warnock voted with the 99-0 group.
Police don't make cities safer. Jobs, housing, healthcare, education, mental health services, social services, and so much more are what makes a city safe. And smart cities all over the country have already come to this realization and have decided that police budgets are outrageously bloated.
The entire United States Senate, including all of your favorite Democrats, just said "fuck you" to the Black Lives Matter Movement
This is a clear message that emboldens Racist Police to continue to terrorize Black communities .... and supports the exploitation of Black bodies as fuel for our injustice system.
It’s still F*CK 12 fa me. 🖕🏾
