the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The ironic thing is that the FSB lost access to most US intel when Prez blocked Signal.

Reportedly Trump ordered the US government to switch to MAX going forward, but rather than restoring the FSB's intel access that just got the US admin hooked on Peacemaker and reruns of The Righteous Gemstones.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”
