+ 100 more cops for the police union endorsing ABC
“This media strategy coincided with a mayoral race that saw law-and-order candidate Ken Sim promise to significantly increase the police budget if elected.”
@pqpolitics.bsky.socialThat didn’t stop the VPD from sending out at least 52 news releases referencing stranger assaults in 2022, averaging one per week, and more than doubling the number issued the previous year
@pqpolitics.bsky.social#FearPorn for ABC
It wasn’t until Nov 2023 that the public learned, through CTV News reporting, that stranger assaults had been plummeting throughout 2022, already dropping to an average of 1.8 per day in the first half of that year.
@pqpolitics.bsky.socialHave you gotten $156 million worth of value by Ken Sim & ABC rewarding the #PoliticizedPolice VPD union for breaking their non partisanship and endorsing Ken Sim & ABC?
While killing off COV programs or reducing their funding to keep shovelling more money to VPD?
@pqpolitics.bsky.social"The police budget has ballooned from $341 million to $497 million since Ken Sim and his ABC-majority council took office."
$156 million reward with Your taxpayer dollars for the #PoliticizedPolice vpd union for endorsing Ken Sim & ABC.
@pqpolitics.bsky.socialKen Sim & ABC & #Seniors.
They killed off the Older Persons Planner Position.
