According to a new report in The New York Post, yet another anti-law enforcement Democrat has been seeking special police protection despite publicly advocating for police budgets to be slashed and accusing law enforcement officers of being white supremacists.
Representative Jamaal Bowman, a Democratic Socialist from New York, reportedly requested special police protection for his private residence from the Yonkers Police Department. According to the Post:
“About a week after the Jan. 6th incident at the Capitol, we received a request from the Congressman’s office for increased police presence at his residence,” Yonkers Police Department Detective Lt. Dean Politopoulos told The Post.“In response, our Intelligence Unit was notified of the request and the local precinct instituted what is called a directed patrol at the Congressman’s home for the next two weeks,” Politopoulos said.
Rep. Bowman — in another case of safety for me but not for thee — has been one of the Democrats' most vocal leaders in calls to defund police departments across the country, saying the system is "cruel and inhumane" and "can't be reformed," saying the solution is to "defund the system that's terrorizing our communities."
We're fighting in your memory, Tamir. You won't be forgotten.A system this cruel and inhumane can't be reformed. Defund the police, and defund the system that's terrorizing our communities. https://t.co/OwFg32pbZ3

Bowman is also on record saying "policing has a white supremacy problem."
In another video posted by Bowman, who is a close ally of the radical "Squad" members, he calls for police funding to be reallocated to "true public health and public safety."
"Defund the police means defund the occupation of black bodies and the militarization of our communities," Bowman also tweeted among dozens of posts calling for American neighborhoods to be left without adequate law enforcement personnel or coverage amid rising crime.
How traumatizing is this for these kids? Will they receive an apology? Compensation? Mental health supports? No. They just have to go on being black in America.Defund the police means defund the occupation of black bodies and the militarization of our communities. https://t.co/8D5oZ2d23f

Earlier this year, Bowman's fellow anti-police Democrat Representative Maxine Waters (D-CA) requested an armed escort on her flight from D.C. to Minneapolis to deliver a speech to agitators in which she advocated for continued violence.
All the police officers should tell him no.
Assign him a social worker.
“The lack of funding does not make that possible now. Maybe next years budget will allow it. In the meantime, you can fund your own protection.”
Ha ha ha
Sure if he publishes his address, many concerned citizens will descend on his house to give him the protection he deserves.
Yep
Exactly. Refuse their request, bluntly or politely.
Didn’t you here Chris Wallace it’s the GOP doing all the Defunding ,LOL
“Gee, sorry”
Is it really hypocritical though?
The ruling class should always get first dibs at government resources.
Let the hoi polloi do without.
Defund the police means allowing America’s most privileged permanent victim class to run rampant, stealing, burning, destroying, raping and killing with no one to stop them.
Hypocrite politicians still want the police to protect them.
Absolutely that person should be told no! Either that or tell them they will get it but only if they advocate fro here on out for funding the police
Bkmk
Exactly.
All of these anti-police morons should be told “up yours”and the cops should just walk away and refuse to respond to any calls from them.
Let the self-righteous racists dig themselves out of the hole which they have put themselves in.
