Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.
COUNT II
The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

So they’re admitting more cops don’t keep us safer, right?
Washington DC and Chicago are number one and two, respectively, for police officers per capita.
Chicago has 4.7 officers per 1,000 people — double the US average. But what they need is… more cops?

But no one is mentioning that anything “Made in the USA” didn’t just pay to make the item, but also for the *healthcare costs* of workers’ entire families.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.

The Kremlin also didn’t want to have to explain what happened between 1939-41 under the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact when they allied themselves with the Nazis to carve up Poland & other countries. That’s why Russian war memorials say WWII happened between 1941-45 instead of 1939-45. They lied in stone.
