Anybody else getting repeated phone calls from police groups asking for money?

I get about 3 a day. I tell them all I am giving all my money to Joe Biden right now.

I,m starting to wonder if these are all robocalls made to sound like a real person.

I tried to talk to the guy today and ask him where he was calling from (caller ID indicates various locations in FL)

After a couple of questions the pitch seemed to start over. Are these robo calls?

I'm not giving any money to police groups now since the Head of the Police Benevolent Assoc. of Fl endoresed the lawless Trump.

3. Robocalls. Cops already have incredibly better pay and benefits than other town or county employees

around here, so they don't get shit from my limited funds.

Now, I certainly believe that a cop injured in the line of service should be made as whole as possible, but not moreso than the people they injure.
