Ashley did a rant on underfunding of police and did everything but say directly “it’s Trump’s fault.”
Ashley did you fail civics? Local and state police budgets are determined by the state and local governments. Unless you’re talking about a federal case, it has nothing to do with federal government.
Also, wasn’t the party you likely vote for slashing police budgets in recent years?
Thank you, Ashley, for speaking from your soapbox on the latest episode! We need more of this straight talk in non-political media. Thank you!
I’ve been listening to true crime for awhile now but somehow missed Crime Junkie! This show is fantastic. Great details and research. Very little banter, but when there is, it’s applicable and makes you think deeper. Thank you Crime Junkie!!!
