WATCH: Gov. DeSantis announces BONUSES for police in Florida amidst defunding movements

As we head into National Police Week, Governor Ron DeSantis announced bonuses for law enforcement in the state of Florida this morning to raucous applause:

 
“Some want to defund the police. We’re funding the police and then some.”

The governor said he asked the legislature to get this done and now he’s proclaiming ‘mission accomplished’.

Among the other things DeSantis highlighted was the recognition how our men and women in law enforcement never had that luxury of working from home on Zoom like so many, but were out on the streets protecting people during the height of the pandemic. He also reminded people that they were doing this at a time last year when police were being treated horribly during the BLM riots, which he called a ‘total disgrace’.
