Replying to @rolandsmartin
The 94 Crime Bill specifically incentivized states to hire more cops, put them in schools and push things like truth in sentencing. Something primarily being a local and state issue doesn’t mean that you don’t push to do everything you can on the federal level to correct harm

@traceyecorder Is the incentivizing in the ‘94 crime bill in the form of Federal funding? Can that incentivizing stream be cut by the Federal government? or is it more complicated than that?2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -
