DeSantis' move comes as Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, who has reportedly placed nearly 1,000 officers in the New York State Police Department, comes at a time when crime in the U.S. is on the verge of a frightening spike and near normalcy. It sounds eerily similar to the movement promoted in New York. , MTA police and National Guard patrol New York City subway stations to curb crime.

So I just want to say a satirical “thank you” to all the perverts in America who over the last few years have decided it's a good idea to commit horrible crimes instead of being good people. “Well done,” he said with great sarcasm to all the politicians who stopped cracking down on crime for no reason. You've turned this place into a police state for the rest of us, and I really hate it.
Criminals and politicians alike owe a huge apology to all police officers for separating them from their families during spring break. Shame on you, everyone. You ruined the rest of our lives.
