many points of this list boil down to MORE money for cops.

they’re asking for ONE BILLION DOLLARS in additional funding for the rape kits ALONE.

notice many of these points are about giving more money to the state so they can put more people in jail.
i’ve long said the concept of a “rape kit backlog” is copaganda. it helps cops look like they’re not the ones actively sabotaging rape cases AND justify get more $$ for an issue they don’t care about.
"as you know, this means that thousands of sexual offenders remain at large, free to reoffend"

Carceral.
Ah, yes, trauma-informed abuse 🤩

Notice how they use "strongest predictor of arrest" as a metric for success. So it isn't even about victims...its about the system throwing more people in jail. They keep talking about rapists being "at large#"
Translation: since cops are abusive assholes to victims, let's give them more money!!!
Neoliberalism is one of the biggest barriers to justice for survivors and abuse prevention.

Black organizers asked to defund the police based on our experiences and a white, well-funded organization basically shits on Black communities asking to REALLY FUND THE POLICE
Anyway i have a long ass thread with tons of evidence showing why cops should not be in charge of handling rape https://t.co/xoAc40k0DB
Shout out to Biden for being such a pioneer in using VAW, which disportionately impacts Black and Indigenous people, to justify giving more money and power to predominantly white, male institutions!
