Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Tuesday the proposed $1.5 billion NYPD budget slash didn’t go far enough.
“Defunding police means defunding police. It does not mean budget tricks or funny math. It does not mean moving school police officers from the NYPD budget to the Department of Education’s budget so the exact same police remain in schools,” the self-described Democratic Socialist said in a press release about the budget deal between the City Council and Mayor de Blasio.
“It does not mean counting cuts in overtime as cuts, even as NYPD ignores every attempt by City Council to curb overtime spending and overspends on overtime anyways. The fight to defund policing continues,” she said.
“If these reports are accurate, then these proposed ‘cuts’ to the NYPD budget are a disingenuous illusion. This is not a victory. The fight to defund policing continues,” she said.
Mainstream Democrats and progressives have argued over the meaning of the effort to “defund the police” following the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis cops.
The deal Ocasio-Cortez was referring to would cut the number of officers in the city by canceling its July class of 1,163 cadets.

Or a spirit. Even better.
She’s too stupid to turn into anything except compost.
Defund Congress.
No pension. No overpaid boyfriends on staff. No salary to maintain 2 homes.
Go move in a dorm.
The sooner, the better. Dad was right about the commies.
Will there be guards outside her district HQ in that territory she rules over? Or, will she just leave the doors unlocked while the police stand down?
everyone calling for defunding gets zero response from police if they beg for help or protection.
ah the airhead issue of RS socialist rag
Trump needs a simple list of things the Dems will do if elected. Open borders, criminalize self defense, drastically raise taxes, eliminate 1st and 2nd Amendments.
Scumbag nitwit weighs in.
I think Dark Knight Rises gave them their template. I hope they do it. At this point, if you still live in a large city, well ... you have been warned ... a lot of times.
It was unnecessary to defund the police. They have been demoralized. I saw a video of a gun fight and a police cruiser just driving by. Why risk your like, your career, your family for a bunch of ingrates? In not to long people will be begging for them to return. Will the wealthy slim bags who can afford private protection allow it?
Break in AOC’s House and see Who she calls for help.
Its for certain Biden isn't.
[The movie “The Warriors” was a documentary.]
Yeah plus open borders you have to be mentally ill to believe in either of those and beyond all hope if you believe in both
The optics are right for the Republicans to do commercials on these two issues alone
on open borders have little stick people flooding in from all directions while a narrator ask what will become of your community your school shopping areas your neighborhood the taxes your insurance rates
Be optimistic on the economy and the coronavirus But scare the shit out of people on everything else
they want more chaos to further the revolution.
I suggest we use the money saved by defunding the police to buy every voter in the area affected a gun. Give the potential lawbreakers something to consider.
AOC demands, from her gated compound and her personal security payed for with our dollars.
Fuck you. AOC is the gift that keeps giving.
