Welcome to the Reality of DEFUNDING Policing...

[Zacha341]

I guess NY is just throwing up their hands. OK! Course they have to know the feds will eventually have to get this 'together'... after the great speeches and progressive promises...

Bill de Blasio caves to absurd ‘defund the police’ movement...

From article:

The latest evidence comes with his agreement to cut police spending by about 17 percent, including the cancellation of a new class of rookies. With retirements soaring, that guarantees fewer cops on the street just as murder and mayhem are turning much of the city into the Wild West.

At first, he tried to dance around the far-left pressure to defund cops but after he was booed and heckled off the stage at a June 4 .memorial for .George Floyd in Brooklyn, he instantly embraced the national madness.

Within days, de Blasio was throwing the mob a bone, saying that while he didn’t agree with calls for $1 billion in cuts to the NYPD’s nearly $6 billion in spending, he would propose “something substantial.”

but after he was booed and heckled off the stage at a June 4 .memorial for .George Floyd in Brooklyn, he instantly embraced the national madness.

I'd be curious to see a national poll of how many people actually agree with these mobs.

Is it just 1-2% [[the insolent children, college indoctrinated Marxists and dope-dealing, murdering thugs?),.. or is there actually a large swath of law-abiding Americans demanding less policing?

I gotta think these people's parents, grandmas etc all want law and order. Go to any city-council meeting in a big city and the citizens are crying for more policing.

For every 1 person that dies unjustly at the hands of police,... there's 998 more that die at the hands of thugs in the hood.

Are these protesters and these rioters REALLY wanting thousands more dead? Or have they just not thought this through?

Ideally we'd figure out a way to save that one,... but not at the cost of turning that 998 dead number into 3000 dead.

More police therefore means LESS dead children of these parents and grandmas. Less drop in their home values, less destruction of businesses,.. which means more employment opportunity, which in turn means less violence,... and on and on.



Now NY prop value is going to plummet, especially commercial. They have a huge deficit from Covid,.. and now their tax base is going to take a beating. Unemployment will be higher than it would have been, etc. This is going to cripple their budget. A $1 Bill cut to police may have happened anyway. As will cuts to schools, roadworks, etc, etc, etc.
