sano: Anything with Gym Jordan's name on it is suspicious to me.

bighairymike: When you open an article, if you don't see the prominent display of the Fox News Logo, a symbol of quality and reliability, then it is prudent to be suspicious of potential misinformation. I know I am.

Jordan's a proven liar; it's about the only thing he's good at.

I took one city at random, Los Angeles, which Jordan claims cut police funding by $175 million and found this:

Despite calls to defund the police, this year's proposed budget asks for an $118 million increase to fund 780 new cops, two new helicopters, and more.

Another year and another LAPD budget increase -- a 6.3% increase to be exact. As Mayor Karen Bass finalizes the city's budget for 2023-24, LAPD is asking for an additional $118,834,040, bringing its total direct costs to $1,995,664,930. Over the past decade the department's budget has grown 58% with no sign of slowing.

So, yeah, at least for LA, he's lying.
