NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Following more than a week of protests over the death of George Floyd in police custody in Minnesota, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Sunday a series of police reforms in New York City.

The reforms come at the suggestion of the mayor’s task force on racial inclusion, which is co-chaired by first lady Chirlane McCray.

De Blasio said the city will be moving funding from the NYPD to youth initiatives and social services.

“The details will be worked out in the budget process in the weeks ahead. But I want people to understand that we are committed to shifting resources to ensure that the focus is on our young people,” de Blasio said.

The mayor said that any decision about funding must also ensure the safety of New Yorkers.

Yes, Republicans need credible candidates if they expect to win. So many of our losses during the last several elections were by candidates who were flawed or were never Trumper’s.

“Youth programs” in NYC means “money that will be pocketed by Bill DeBlasios wife”.

“Thank you for calling NYC’s 9-1-1. We’re dispatching a social worker to your location.”

“A social ... But they’re raping my wife and torturing my son!!!”

“Oh, that’s different. You qualify for our special package. Congratulations! We’ll send two social workers AND a rape counselor. They should be there in a week to 10 days. You are so lucky! Goodbye.”

Make big cuts to the police force AND ensure the safety of New Yorkers? Like hitting a grand slam with only one man on base.

Nineteen years ago (2001) New Yorkers told us what a wonderful police force they had, and now they tell us it’s full of “systemic” racism. Really?

It’s my understanding he can’t run for another term. When is the next election and can any republican stand a chance for election?

About the only thing that has been accomplished with those youth projects, is that kids get fed at those rec centers. My niece’s husband has worked in the City’s Rec Dept. in Rochester, NY for years. They not only have to feed the kids, and provide snacks for them every day, but they have to help them to learn how to read, despite not having any college, or teaching certificates to do so. Since the lockdown, no kids have been accessing his rec center, but he’s still had to go into work to feed the homeless, and crackheads in the neighborhood. Rochester ‘s Recreation Dept. recently fired all the upper level people, demoted all the supervisors, my nephew being one of them (he’d just gotten promoted last year), and they’ve partially furloughed all their rec aides (my nephew) to only work 17 hours a week.

So De Blasio follows suit of the the LA Mayor and is defunding his own PD. These people are truly idiots.
As I keep saying Vigilante Justice will come about of the city PD’s can’t, won’t, or are prevented from doing their jobs.

You are reminding me that the cities now have the private “urban bicycles” program.

Thousands and thousands of these bicycles have mysteriously disappeared or were damaged.

Here is the story about Hartford, CT:

Everybody knew this would happen—except the stupid politicians and media outlets—_everybody_.

I’m actually looking forward to the day when Saks Fifth Avenue changes its name to Saks Martin Luther King Boulevard.

Bloomberg had 3 terms because the City Council changed the rule especially for him. Unless they’re changed the rule back to 2 terms, he can run again. If you remember, when Rudy was Mayor,you could only serve two terms, and after 9/11, Rudy asked to stay on for a few month’s to oversee the recovery. The City Council refused.

So, the latest fad is defunding the cops, huh?

These mayors are pathetic.

They deserve to get mugged by an MS13 gang.

I wonder how much of the money that has run through her hands has been diverted to her friends’ pockets.
