“the vicious legacy of White supremacy is a root cause of suffering across the globe” Across the globe, eh? Suffering in Africa, South and Central America, Asia and the Middle East are absolutely not caused by white supremacy. Nor is suffering in Europe and North America.

At some point, any and all bankrupt cities need to be forced to de-incorporate, stop collecting taxes, and revert to territories. Municipal government needs to be disbanded, pensions paid on the spot with whatever residual monies are on hand. They cannot be allowed to continue to be a financial burden on neighboring communities.
Of course that may mean that entire states become territories but so be it.

...after the death of George Floyd last summer, New York governor Andrew Cuomo issued an executive order that required “each local government in the State to adopt a policing reform plan by April 1, 2021”

... noting that both city residents and law enforcement agree that “when people call 911, there should be the option for the dispatcher to send a variety of professionals, not just someone with a badge and a gun. Just send me a gun in case one of mine jams. Thanks.

“Actually, if everyone just started carrying a shotgun in public, this would work fine. A few residents testing fate, will pass from this Earth.”
Agreed
How about Constitutional Carry for making all LEO’s “Peace Officers”?
Kind of like it used to be

This excerpt is reminiscent of days gone by (like in Nazi Germany)
Under the reimagined format, Ithaca’s streets would be patrolled by armed “public safety workers” and unarmed “community solution workers,” who would collaborate and report to a civilian director of public safety.... Should they be rehired, the former officers would don redesigned uniforms baring a “more welcoming agency brand.”

He has been reelected since 2011? No sympathy here for the citizens of that city.

A progressive mayor’s proposal to abolish the police department of a small city in upstate New York is sparking concerns among residents that the reform effort will exacerbate a recent spike in violent crimeYa think?

The people voted for the Mayor and city council, did they not?

“One for One.” That is a brilliant idea. It should be the law in all of the towns that are defunding the police.
Portland, Seattle, Chicago, and all the others deserve to have their law makers feel the pain that their stupidity has wrought on the citizens.
Good on ya’!
