De Blasio: NYC to cut NYPD funding, shift it to social services
Foxnews ^

Posted on 06/07/2020 6:11:01 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

De Blasio did not reveal how much funding he aimed to divert from the annual NYPD budget. The New York Times noted that the NYPD budget was $6 billion and accounted for 6 percent of the proposed 2021 NYC fiscal budget.

He did say that the details of any budget reallocation would be worked out ahead of the July 1 budget deadline.

“We’re committed to seeing a shift of funding to youth services, to social services, that will happen literally in the course of the next three weeks, but I’m not going to go into detail because it is subject to negotiation and we want to figure out what makes sense,” de Blasio said.

Other measures included shifting smaller responsibilities, such as street vendor enforcement, away from the NYPD and hiring “community ambassadors” to connect police departments and local communities.

Awesome! I can’t wait for blue states to pay the price for their folly.
This can only help Trump.

Why do you think so many who can work in NYC but live in outside the city. I know people who live in NYC for work but have a 2nd house. They take every opportunity to leave.

For three freakin’ months, the liberal left deployed the police as weapons, particularly in its urban strongholds, to enforce its covid-19 lockdown against a cowed population, calling the cops every time some freedom loving person dared to step out of line. If someone had said even two weeks ago that there would soon be a major, nationwide movement to defund/dismantle police departments in major urban cities, how many of us would have believed it? And yet here we are. NYC will likely do this. Minneapolis seems to be on its safe. I can’t believe that there won’t be movement in my own San Francisco to follow suit. Where does this go? How can these cities function with neutered or abolished police? Rich people and wealthy neighborhoods would likely hire private security? Middle class and poor folks would be forced to fend for themselves or band together into vigilante groups.

Good luck on getting your pensions and health benefits...y’all. This is going to last awhile.

So basically creating more bureaucratic alphabet agencies in NYC, which will naturally require more city employees, more supervisors, more department managers, etc.

All part of The Plan™

Have a flash point (hoax scamdemic) to numb the masses

Shutter small businesses/middle class with unconstitutional lockdowns

Release the criminals from the prisons

Have another flash point to kick in the hoax protests/riots

Throw in some turncoat deep state military peeps

Push false narrative/social justice mantra

All in an attempt to overthrow the government

Rudy must be rolling his eyes. This is the opposite of what fixed NYC for a while.

Covid was a FARCE and that is becoming more apparent by the hour..

Accustoming our youth to wearing masks and making it NORMAL to see others wearing masks in order to facilitate VIOLENCE, LOOTING AND ARSON OF BUSINESSES was the goal. Raising tensions by fomenting UNEMPLOYMENT and RESTLESSNESS via "stay-at-home" orders was the goal. KEEPING SCHOOLS CLOSED THROUGH THE END OF THE YEAR in order to GIVE YOUTH NOTHING TO DO BUT PROTEST AND RIOT THROUGH AT LEAST THE NOVEMBER ELECTION was the goal. DemonRat Governors EMPTYING PRISONS was done in order to ESCALATE THE VIOLENCE BY TRANSFORMING PROTESTS INTO RIOTS was the goal. REMOVING the people's ability and RIGHT to be hopeful and faithful through the exercise of their religious beliefs BY CLOSING CHURCHES while grocery and liquor stores remain OPEN was the goal.

The Covid-19 SHAM was used to move the PROGRESSIVE-LEFTIST ANARCHIST ball forward by STRIPPING THE LAW-ABIDING OF THEIR RIGHTS WHILE GIVING PROTESTERS, LOOTERS AND ARSONISTS unabated freedom where CRIMINALS ARE IMMEDIATELY SET FREE and police who seek to enforce the law are charged with crimes against humanity..

All the Deep State had to do was WAIT FOR THE TRIGGER-POINT (Floyd death), and HYPE IT in order to kick the whole thing off! I will refrain from commenting on HOW the trigger-point was ENGINEERED, but as we know, JEFFREY EPSTEIN DIDN'T kill himself and Seth Rich WASN'T ROBBED.

More and more Americans are FINALLY waking up to the POWER of the Deep State cabal, along with the PROPAGANDIST MEDIA hijacked by that cabal. The ENTIRE Mueller investigation was predicated on a PROVEN LIE, as well as the Kavanaugh hearings, the COUP-CONSPIRACY ON TRUMP (predicated on a 'Dossier' funded by Hillary Clinton), the IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS and NOW: THE COVID-19 SHAM. WHAT'S NEXT, AMERICA? WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR YOU TO REALIZE THE DEEP STATE CABAL WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO continue this CHAOS for as long as Trump is president?

God please protect the ONLY person standing between TOTAL CHAOS IN THE STREETS and the Constitutional Free Republic we all know and love, President Donald J. Trump!

Why NY Cops even bother to get out of their patrol cars is beyond me.

Not too hard for me to believe a Supreme Court decision declaring most of NYC gun laws unconstitutional...
