Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said local New York police departments must pass race reforms or they will lose state funding.

During a press briefing on Saturday, Cuomo told protesters they "won" by protesting over the issues of police violence and systemic racism, introducing a plan in which communities will implement reforms consistent with their constituency's demands.

"We heard you. You're right. We agree with you, protesters," Cuomo said, revealing a plan to "remake" police departments within a period of nine months.

“If you don’t do it, local government, you won’t get any state funding. Period. We're not going to tell you what to do. But we'll tell you have to go through the process. And you have to pass a law with your redesigned police force,” Cuomo said, setting a deadline for April 1.

The thugs won, but the citizens of NY State lose. And if they continue to vote for men like this, they deserve everything they get.

I bet those barbers and hairdressers who rallied a few weeks ago to re-open the economy feel like chumps.

It never occurred to them to set fire to stores and police precincts and loot stores to get their way.

Lucky for them, "Dr." Faucism is already setting the stage for future lockdowns.

Now you know what to do, barbers and hairdressers.

I’m inclined to believe that a large part of the “police” problem is actually corrupt, desperate Democratic-controlled police unions that protect bad cops.
Abolish police unions, and the law can finally treat officers like everyone else

Corrections, insights welcome.

Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government Democrats and RINOs home in November!

Supporting PDJT with new patriot federal and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.

Who is looking out for the interests of the millions of citizens of NYC and NYS who try to play by the rules, pay their taxes, obey the law - and expect the government they pay for to protect them from the rioters and criminals?

Anybody?

Hello?

How many of those local police departments have even been involved in any racial incidents? Cuomo has to go.

There are three kinds of people in the world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. The only ones who want to get rid of the sheepdogs are the wolves.

They rioted, raped, pillaged, looted, killed people, and
committed tens if not hundreds of billions in damage.

You would think an adult could think of at least some
words of criticism. Well, not a Leftist adult.

“You won!”

You now get the grand prize, dictating to every level of
government exactly what they must do to satiate your
thirst for anarchy, power, and yes... RACISM!

yet sanctuary states/cities such as NY demand and expect federal funding despite unevenly enforcing the law.

Glad I don’t live in New York....

But on the other hand, every local community should fund its own law enforcement, so that they are answerable to only their citizens, not the State or the Feds.

Police reform will be more millions down a rathole that will only create new layers of bureaucracy and end up giving corrupt politicians another source to siphon off money from.
