    “Police needs more training” is just a common way how anti-police activism is turned into increases to police budgets.

    Police brutality -> defund the police -> police needs better training -> fund the police more actually

      True. Being a liberal he’ll probably forget all about defunding ICE as soon as a Democrat is elected. Can’t forget how much Democrats running in 2024 were talking about “securing our borders”. The same party he supports use the language that enables the policy that Republicans enact. And that’s aside the fact that they have been materially supporting ICE by increasing their budget through the Biden years, handing Trump a well funded enforcement agency.
