> Soon after, on June 1, unrest erupted in Cicero, where at least 60 people were arrested, two were killed and many were injured. Hanania didn’t comment on whether any CARES relief funds went toward paying officers deployed that day.
To me, this line in particular strongly suggests the journal was looking for dirt, not trying to report the truth.
Otherwise, the article really doesn't... like, seem to question its own premise at all?
Like, the idea is that police salaries were paid from the Covid relief fund? Does that imply that the police officers would not have been paid at all if the fund hadn't been there? That would be incredibly concerning if true, but the article doesn't mention it.
Or is the idea that police officers got paid large bonuses compared to previous year, and these bonus came straight from the fund? Again, that would be incredibly concerning, but the article doesn't shown any evidence of this.
