Original Note:
Poster is inaccurately claiming fire fighters had funds diverted to police when both were defunded by Los Angeles. Despite both Fire Fighters and Police gaining slight increases to recruiting budgets. The overall Fire budget was slashed by $17M and the Police by $22M. https://www.nbclosangeles.com/local-2/la-mayor-karen-bass-signs-revised-13b-budget/3160710/ https://wjla.com/news/nation-world/los-angeles-mayor-slashed-fire-department-budget-months-before-wildfires-swept-city-karen-bass-california-fires-pacific-palisades
