After attacking cops, the D.C. mayor just quietly refunded the defunded Metropolitan Police Department by $30 million

De-fund. Re-fund. All it took was blood-curdling crime statistics to awaken the D.C. Council from its woke fairytale and admit the city needs police. A lot of police.

Ever since the council slashed $15 million from the Metropolitan Police Department’s budget in July 2020, Mayor Muriel Bowser has presided over a lawlessness that is turning the nation’s capital into a criminal paradise.

But on April 4, Bowser all but admitted that pandering to the Black Lives Matter movement did nothing to improve the safety of the district’s residents, nor improve their quality of life in any way.

During a press conference, Bowser and MPD Chief Robert J. Contee III outlined a $30 million public safety initiative for the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget that will create safer streets for residents and visitors and centers around the hiring of 347 police officers. The initiative will see the hiring of 258 new recruits, 42 graduates of the MPD Cadet Corps program and the rehiring of 47 retired officers, bringing the force to a total of 4,000 sworn officers, WJLA.com reported.

Only a complete idiot, or a criminal, would think pandering to BLM would achieve anything positive.

But just watch as he's voted back into office. Something tells me that he's up for reelection in 2023 or 4.

You make a valid point. If these morons keep getting re-elected (like Biden, Harris, AOC, Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff, Omar, etc.), the idiocy WILL continue.
