“Los Angeles Defunds Police, Uses Money For Guaranteed Income Experiment”

Hopefully they will record the data from this experiment accurately so it can be scientifically determined if people will take free money.

Also, if you get robbed, just comply and be a good citizen and a good witness. Oh, and if someone rapes you, just lie back and enjoy it.

When you defund the police, you end up with Kyle Rittenhouses patrolling the street. And every act of bad behavior, let alone crime, carries a potential death penalty. Common sense isn’t anymore.

‘Follow-Home’ Robberies So Bad In Los Angeles, That Police Now Issue ‘Cooperate and Comply’ Alert

FORBES -At Least 13 Cities Are Defunding Their Police Departments:

At least 13 U.S. cities have cut funding from police department budgets or decreased officer numbers with several more in the process.

Austin, Texas, is the latest city to announce a police defunding effort, with the City Council on Thursday voting unanimously to cut $150 million (roughly one third) from the police budget

Austin’s announcement closely follows the sweeping budget change approved by Seattle—a $3.5 million budget cut . The country’s two largest cities, New York and LosAngeles, approved budget cuts weeks after protests began—New York slashed $1 billion from its $5.6 billion operating budget while Los Angeles approved a $150 million budget cut from its budget. Also in California, San Francisco approved a $120 million cut to the police and sheriff’s department.
———————————-
Democrats are making everyone’s families less safe except for their Dem elites with their own protection forces.

What will the Super Rich Elites, do when their blue city mayors replace their city cops with Sharia Muslims and other social workers with BLMers/Antifas?

Those Super Rich Elites will hire our unemployed and well trained former Special Ops people. Who are no longer wanted in our worthless SJW/PC military.

These former SpecOps, when hired, will handle any protection issues their super rich Elites might need 24/7. That will include special preventive action as well as ‘neutralizing’, when needed.

These former special ops in their new areas of action, will operate, react and control/end any issues without any problems from so called local cops/DA’s, mayors and the local mediots in the local media.

The blue city mayors and blue city council members will welcome these Special Ops People, while slashing their city budgets and eliminating their regular police. Their security costs will be minimized and their budgets will be balanced.

How many mayors/governors in Blue States/Cities would get rid of their police forces in a New York minute, if they were not opposed by their elites, who control them????

These former special ops guys might even protect members of Congress from Deploreables if they are needed like on 6 January, this year in our capitol building in DC.

After the cops are defunded, the bloated school budgets will be defunded by the blue cities. Teaching online will be the new standard for KOC* in blue cities. KOC* = Kids of Color.

Taxes were collected for the purpose of providing police protection. Require the city to refund the money. They can’t graudulently divert the funds to another use. That requires voter approval.

They would have a better result just using the dollar bills as toilet paper and flushing them down the toilet.

They’ll screw it up. One of the LA City Ghouls will get the notion that the ‘winners’ will also have to get ‘vaccinated.’ But we won’t hear how many of them didn’t survive....

Good luck with that, Mr. Mayor and LA City Council.

Selectively providing a guaranteed basic income to certain citizens is not a basic government function to be funded by taxpayers. Enforcing the law is.

By the way, it won’t do a thing to end poverty or lawlessness. Criminals gonna criminal.

Paying people to be good won’t work. I was always good. very respectful. Did my work. My brother was nothing but trouble. Stealing and lying. My parents even tried paying him to be good to see if that worked. But not me. I was good for nothing.
