Protesters in New York City spent a second straight night camped out in front of City Hall to demand a $1 billion cut to the police department's budget.

The group of about 100 protesters, calling themselves "Occupy City Hall," gathered at a nearby park around 5 p.m. Tuesday and haven't left. They have vowed to stay until their demand to slash one-sixth of the New York Police Department's $6 billion budget is met.

The protesters say the money saved should be redistributed to social and community services as well as health care and education.

If some Hells Angels were to go in and beat the ever-loving snot out of them, who would they complain to? Asking for a friend.

I for one am all in favour of the mob occupying and burning New York City Hall, provided that they and the Mayor stay inside for the BBQ.

Headline should be “NYC Pro-Crimers Embarrassed in Show of Weakness”.

De Blasio, meanwhile, has said that the police budget would be reduced but he has not said by how much, leaving both the cops and the protesters in limbo.

I bet that Mister Warren Wilhelm Jr. not only caves and gives the leftist anarchists all they want, but also his inner Marxist is quietly cheering his fellow travelers on.

They had to go back to the “Occupy” movement since Trump outlawed Antifa!

I agree. Let them live in the Utopia they so desire. It will make CHAZ look like a vacation spot.

How about returning it to the taxpayers?

NYC’s elites, who rule and control NYC have private security forces.

The cops if there are any, are for the common folk.

Told that @NYCMayor Bill de Blasio wants to paint the fabled & beautiful Fifth Avenue, right in front of Trump Tower/Tiffany, with a big yellow Black Lives Matter sign. “Pigs in a Blanket, Fry ‘Em Like Bacon”, referring to killing Police, is their chant.
