3. The March 2021 American Rescue Plan Act provided $350 billion that state and local governments could use to hire police and correctional officers. 220 Democrats voted for it. Every Republican voted against it. https://t.co/49dpVwvQ9H — PolitiTweet.org

2. In 2022, Republicans are spending millions on ads claiming that Democrats in Congress are "soft on crime" and want to "defund the police." The reality is Congressional Democrats approved BILLIONS in additional federal dollars to hire police officers. https://t.co/49dpVwNZnP — PolitiTweet.org

4. BTW, there is no evidence hiring more police officers reduces crime. An ABC News analysis "of state and local police funding and overall violent crime data in the U.S. between 1985 and 2020 found no relationship between year-to-year police spending and crime rates." — PolitiTweet.org
