"Governor Larry Hogan announced on Friday morning, a new $150 million initiative to increase support for law enforcement, crime control and victim protection services across Maryland. "We cannot defund the police," Hogan said, adding that people must "refund" the police instead. Last month, the governor sent a letter to Maryland’s congressional delegation noting that “if these devastating federal cuts are not reversed, these organizations will serve far fewer victims in the coming year and the progress we have made to build up the infrastructure and capabilities of these nonprofits will be greatly diminished.” The governor will announce additional initiatives in the coming weeks to further support law enforcement, hold violent criminals accountable, and increase accountability for prosecutors and judges."

"A woman who was screaming 'Defund the police' and swinging a baseball bat outside the Capitol on Friday has been arrested, photos from the scuffle show. She was detained by law enforcement while climate protesters swarmed the White House on the final day of a week-long program of anti-fossil fuel demonstrations. The woman, identified as Olivia Romano, 25, 'appeared agitated' at around 9:30 a.m. when police approached her. Police placed a covering over her head after she bit an officer during a scuffle with law enforcement. Romano could still be heard speaking and screaming as police carried her away restrained to a stretcher. Police told DailyMail.com that 78 people were arrested today for 'crowding, obstructing or incommoding.' Three of those people are also being charged with assaulting a police officer. Photos taken on Friday show Romano lying on the ground looking dazed as officers pin her down and forcibly restrain her on the west side of the Capitol."
