NYC mayoral candidate Eric Adams says 'young white affluent people' lead the 'defund the police' movement
Business Insider ^ | 27 Apr 2021 | Jake Lahut

Eric Adams, a former NYPD officer running for New York City mayor, has been differentiating himself from the Democratic field as a pro-public safety candidate who sees more police as part of the solution.

In an interview with New York Magazine published Tuesday, Adams said the "defund the police" movement is led not by people of color in the Big Apple, but rather by young white professionals.

"Now, this is really being led by a different demographic," Adams said. "There are a lot of young white affluent people who are coming in and setting the conversation."

So far, only one candidate in the mayoral contest's crowded Democratic primary field has formally called for defunding the police. Dianne Morales, a non-profit executive, has campaigned on the terminology as part of her plan to reallocate $3 billion of the NYPD's nearly $11 billion budget to communities affected most by violent crime.

Poor people in high-crime neighborhoods do not want the police defunded. They want more vigorous policing with an increased law enforcement presence.

That’s what I have seen as well. White, woke libs in safe suburban middle class neighborhoods at the protests.

Young white affluent people who live in young white affluent parts of town that don’t know what it’s like to live in a part of town that needs policing.

These are the people that The Weathermen wanted to mobilize. They must have been a couple of generations early. Even with Vietnam as an issue, Americans were still too pro-America, I guess.

It’s because they were educated in our distinguished halls of higher education. They’re smarter than greedy capitalists, or ignorant believers in a God myth. They’re smart enough to be their own God, and tell the lowly masses how to live. Or so they claim.

“Young white affluent people who live in young white affluent parts of town that don’t know what it’s like to live in a part of town that needs policing.”

Many high-end suburbs (Bel Air, River Oaks, Guilford, Port Royal) have ex-policemen on private patrol.

Adams will probably be running against pro law and order Curtis Sliwa, so here he's trying to get ahead on that issue.

"young white affluent people' lead the 'defund the police"

That is the makeup of Antifa. It was also the anti-establishment Hippies in 60,s.

I can’t stand young, white affluent people.

The naive, indoctrinated fools are the ones leading America to be destroyed. Ability to reason went out with our generations.

FORBES -At Least 13 Cities Are Defunding Their Police Departments:*

At least 13 U.S. cities have cut funding from police department budgets or decreased officer numbers with several more in the process. As of last August: 2020/08/13/

Austin, Texas, was the latest city to announce a police defunding effort, with the City Council on Thursday voting unanimously to cut $150 million (roughly one third) from the police budget

Austin’s announcement closely follows the sweeping budget change approved by Seattle—a $3.5 million budget cut . The country’s two largest cities, New York and Los Angeles, approved budget cuts weeks after protests began—New York slashed $1 billion from its $5.6 billion operating budget while Los Angeles approved a $150 million budget cut from its budget. Also in California, San Francisco approved a $120 million cut to the police and sheriff’s department.*

Reports: Mass exodus of retiring police officers may lead to a national public safety crisis
Law Enforcement Today ^ | 04/27/2021 | Anita Job
Posted on 4/27/2021, 7:42:08 AM by Pining_4_TX

There are growing concerns that the mass retirements of police officers throughout the country may lead to a national public safety crisis.

Between losing experienced law enforcement personnel and not having enough officers, some are suggesting the mass exodus will compromise people’s safety, especially in major U.S. cities.

What will the Super Rich Elites, do when their blue city mayors replace their city cops with Sharia Muslims and other social workers with BLMers/Antifas?

The fact that our cities will become far less safe means nothing to these untalented elites. Why would it? Many of them have very elaborate security details, and don’t have to worry about their safety.

Those Elites hire our unemployed and well trained former Special Ops people and former tough cops. Who are no longer wanted in our worthless SJW/PC military and Blue Cities.

When hired, these new non cops will handle any protection issues their super rich Elites might need 24/7. That will include special preventive action as well as ‘neutralizing’, when needed.

These former special ops and former tough city cops in their new areas of action, will operate, react and control/end any issues without any problems from so called local cops/DA’s, mayors and the local mediots in their areas..

The blue city mayors and city council members will welcome these Special People, while slashing their own city police budgets and eliminating their regular police. Their costs will be minimized and their budgets will be balanced.

How many mayors/governors in Blue States/Cities would get rid of their police forces in a New York minute, if they were not opposed by their elites, who control them????

These former special ops and tough former cops might even protect members of Congress from Deploreables if they are needed like on 6 January, this year in our capitol building in DC.

“That is the makeup of Antifa. It was also the anti-establishment Hippies in 60,s. (add 70’s and you nailed it.)”

Which is why today, most cities, their DA’s and their cops ignore Antifa, since they come from rich elite liberal families.
