Why would the Democrat mayors of Chicago and New York and Seattle and Los Angeles allow their local taxpayer money, for example, to go to Safariland while they are providing pepper spray and flashbangs to ICE / DHS?

Sounds like something we can take up with Aldermen / City Council members at a local level!
