The mayor of Los Angeles has vowed to cut $150million from the city's police budget and give it to communities of color.
...
In addition to the sizable redirection of funds, Garcetti told reporter officers will be required to report misconduct going forward and to intervene when witnessing displays of excessive force.

By July, he said, a LA Department of Civil and Human Rights and an Office of Racial Equality will be up and running.

Mayor Garcetti:

[Psalm 73]

What a jackass.

Blue Flu coming!

[Pikachu_Dad]

$150,000,000 is how big a reduction in force?

[ronnie raygun]

COWARD NEEDS TO BE LYNCHED FORM THE NEAREST TREE.

[JimRed]

Right into the pockets of their local versions of Sharpton and Jackson.

[EagleUSA]

Notice how we are not hearing a peep from govenor Comrade Newsom who is hiding and enjoying every moment of this radical leftist crap.

[SkyPilot]

I wonder what the Hollywood elite will do when the thugs come calling at their mansions?

[Pikachu_Dad]

1,500 officers at 100,000 each?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Crime will soar in minority communities and many innocent victims will suffer. All in the name of helping minorities.

Got it.

$150,000,000 is how big a reduction in force?

It's $150,000,000 more than he took from the bullet train budget.

[rktman]

Hey people what’s that sound?
The sound of the toilet going round and round.

On your knees biotch. So, any guess as to if any LEO on the LAPD will be tossing their badges on the chiefs desk? Paging Harry Bosch? Crate, Barrel?

[43north]

Is this moron trying to show more incompetence than deBlasio? If so, its working.

[The Toll]

LOL!!!

Los Angeles got mugged.

[caver]

Who would want to be a cop when the Mayor won’t even back you up?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Exactly.

[BenLurkin]

This is why we keep having riots. This kind of “DaneGeld” insanity.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

9,974 officers in LA PD.

That’s about a $1 billion budget for officers, so about a 15% reduction. That’s huge.

[Vermont Lt]

Burn a few more criusers. The cops will be able to respond “next Tuesday.”
