DeSantis announces $1,000 bonuses to Florida first responders: 'We're funding the police and then some'

DeSantis was flanked by first responders and members of law enforcement during a press conference in front of the Satellite Beach Police Department in Florida on Wednesday where he announced he would sign the state’s budget.

should have added in "by defunding the welfare budget"

So now, not only do police milk overtime, they get bonuses?

BTW a bonus doesn't fund the police, it funds the police officer. Fake news.

Looks like the person who administers our Non Resident Florida Pistol Licenses will be opposing him for Governor.

Politician worship is unseemly.

Funny how $1,000 is what life changing now? Can’t even buy a case of 9mm or .223. I guess I like the gesture but I’m sure if you dig into it this is coming from the federal money.

Like anything the question is where does the money come from? He can call it "funding the police" or whatever he wants, but in reality it's just taking money form tax payers to give to the police as a bonus.

Money and funding "anything" is yesterdays news. With the rise of e-currency (BTC, etc.), the dollar will soon be worthless, hence the spending right now. Just my opinion.

Political stunt the same as any politician would do no matter their affiliation. It's all about keeping their jobs.

Lifesaving heroic work during the extremely deadly and dangerous coronavirus pandemic more like! These first responders are forcibly put in positions where they are unable to even social distance 6ft!

We need more enforcement to close down small businesses and enforce mask laws all over the country. People should have their papers ready at all times as well. If you haven't been vaccine jabbed, you should be softened up and tossed in jail. It's only the police that are brave enough to enforce these totally okay emergency mandates.

Yeah... Um no. If offered of course I would accept a bonus like this, but this is nothing but political fanfare.

The Police in Florida and most places around the US earn a great living. No need for an extra tax payer funded bonus.

They really are not putting up with much more during their daily routine because of Covid. Those in riot filled, BLM territory they are dealing with more shit, but not due to Covid.

This is just pandering. My wife works in a grocery store and has had to deal with way more than I during the Covid Hoax. How about this? Go to work, do your job and take the pay that was agreed upon during contract negotiations?
