Fox Business ^ | June 29, 2020 | Stephanie Pagones

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he has proposed a plan for the city to cut $1 billion from the NYPD’s nearly $6 billion budget, according to officials and multiple reports.

De Blasio’s announcement falls in line with city council leaders’ calls for the billion-dollar cut to the police department’s budget. The Democratic mayor revealed details of his proposal during a Monday morning press conference.

He said his office presented the plan to City Council over the weekend and called this “a moment where we have to address profound issues. We need to redistribute revenue to communities that need it the most.”

He emphasized that plan is still under negotiation and officials had not reached a final agreement.

I hope and pray that we are not so stupid as to solve this problem with a Marxist government!

At some point in the near future, we will have to fight back.

Don’t know what the tipping point is or will be, but we are damn close!

He has over a year left to finish destroying NYC.

This could be fun!

Maybe help him with some Mad Max style pillage and plunder!

A city full of greedy, rich, unarmed democrat fools.

Good luck NYC. You will be pre-Guiliani before no time. Just go back and look at pics from the 70s and 80s.

The very folks who support him will be the first to leave and will espouse their policies promoting their dystopian dream from afar as they’re not about to risk being harmed by the policies they support.I just don’t want them out here to soil up our red landscape

Why is it that a highly likeable president like Ronald Reagan is shot down by a miserable little shit with a fixation on Jody Foster and creeps like this draw no flies?

You assume that people will readily accept the Marxist solution. Too many people are woke now and realize what’s going on and will reject it outright.
Tourism and business owners will stay away from NYC.

This communist was waiting for an opportunity to express his deep hatred for this country and New York. Crime has risen. NY cops are unhappy. He is responsible for what has happened.

It took about 20+ years of mayhem from Lindsay to Beame to Koch to Dinkins to for NY’ers finally care about street crime

The BLM and leftist snowflakes on the streets now weren’t even alive or don’t remember those days - so I imagine we are still in early innings yet. NY City can get a lot worse.

Liberals do not repent of their positions,until they are consumed by them.


You are wrong, don’t agree with you. They would rather have mountains fall on them than repent. The most interesting verse in Revelation:

Rev_6:16 And they cried to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.

The local police forces may be the very last conservative institutions remaining in America...and the Left is dismantling them piece by piece.

The field is all theirs...the only opposition to the tyrannical genocidal left is going to work, keeping their heads down, staying quiet and off the streets. The conquest is pretty much complete.

Will this effect the amount of federal dollars they get for law enforcement?
