Evergreen reminder that cops lie.

ICE, prosecutors, and federal, state and local law enforcement officers lie and mislead the public around everything from crime stats to individual instances of violence by agents. We should never repeat their narratives unchecked, as if what they say is factual.

In 1938, Hitler launched “Work-Shy Reich” a program to remove the homeless, beggars & mentally ill from the streets & forcibly institutionalize them.

Today, Donald Trump launched “ENDING CRIME AND DISORDER ON AMERICA’S STREETS”—which is the same thing. 🚨
