many points of this list boil down to MORE money for cops.

they’re asking for ONE BILLION DOLLARS in additional funding for the rape kits ALONE.

notice many of these points are about giving more money to the state so they can put more people in jail.

Ah, yes, trauma-informed abuse 🤩

Notice how they use "strongest predictor of arrest" as a metric for success. So it isn't even about victims...its about the system throwing more people in jail. They keep talking about rapists being "at large#"
Translation: since cops are abusive assholes to victims, let's give them more money!!!
