"Defund the police" Justice Department Style?

Immediately after the verdict in the Derek Chauvin case the Justice Department announced an investigation into the Minneapolis Police Department looking for a pattern of racial bias or excessive force.

Now today the Justice Department announced a similar investigation into the Louisville, KY police department over the death of Breona Taylor.

One wonders if the Justice Department is going to investigate any police department where an event hits the national news or prompts protests. There are plenty of other cases of questionable police behavior which have not hit the national news, have not prompted protests, and apparently for this reason will not prompt a Federal investigation.

Russian actions, Trump vs Biden

In the last couple days President Biden announced new sanctions against Russia for hacking and election interference. The claim is Russia interfered in the 2020 election in favor of Donald Trump.

Coincidentally (?) Russia is reported to be moving troops to its border with Ukraine and there may be another Russia / Ukraine conflict.

It's interesting that Donald Trump was supposed to be the friend of Russia or even Russian agent, yet it's under Joe Biden (perceived as anti-Russia) that Russia thinks it can get away with military action.
