...Republican governor of Florida, stone in the shoe of the Dems and their ilk, maybe one-day president...on Monday announced he is pitching significant pay increases to support the men and women of law enforcement in the next budget."As most of you remember, you go back last year, the summer of 2020, you had huge movements in different parts of the country, municipalities, even state levels, to attack law enforcement, to defund law enforcement," DeSantis said during a presser in Orlando, Florida, speaking behind a podium reading, "Florida Supports Law Enforcement."
"And many municipalities did take a huge chunk out of their law enforcement budgets," he continued, noting they are not trying to figure out how to get it back in due to skyrocketing crime.
"It’s truly been one of the most disastrous policies that anyone’s ever tried to implement — this whole defund law enforcement. And you see the effects of this every single day in jurisdictions" that introduce policies that are soft on crime, he continued.
DeSantis said he is proud that Florida "never budged an inch" and stood with law enforcement as others walked away, going the extra mile and including thousand-dollar bonuses for every sworn law enforcement officer, first responder, and EMT in the current budget. He wants to carry that on to the next budget as well.
