Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti vetoed a plan backed by black and Latino members of the City Council to redistribute money cut from the police Tuesday because he said it was too focused on everyday needs and not on the “call of history.”

“he said it was too focused on everyday needs and not on the “call of history.””

Sheesh. These large urban cities that struggle with crime/violence NEED to focus on meeting and covering everyday needs better than they’re doing now. That takes more funding. “The call of history” is some other Dept. Social Services maybe.

No, it's a liberal bullshite phrase to describe liberals skimming big bucks for themselves and their liberal friends while flushing the money of hard working taxpayers into a black hole money pit.

In Garcetti code book it’s a term that means screw you shut up and vote.
