Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) requested additional police protection at his New York home in January while demanding police departments be defunded in America.
“About a week after the January 6 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 New York 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 explained.
Bowman’s calls for additional police protection comes as he has called for defunding police for Americans in which he said in December of 2020 to “defund the system that’s terrorizing our communities.”
“A system this cruel and inhumane can’t be reformed. Defund the police, and defund the system that’s terrorizing our communities,” he said.
Bowman added in an April tweet, “We screamed defund the police so we could reallocate those resources toward something that focuses on true public health and public safety.”
Meanwhile, establishment Democrats are attempting to pretend they are the party of actually funding police.
“We are the only party in Washington right now funding the police,” Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY) told the New York Times, “even as we fight for important reforms and racial justice.”
Rep. Val Demings (D-FL), candidate for Senate against Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), has also tried to change the narrative by accusing Republicans of being the anti-police party.

Makes sense. Police are for the “important” people - not the unwashed masses.
Who wants to defund the police? People who want to break the law, that’s who. Behave yourself and the cops leave you alone. Funny how that works.
Give him nothing.
Send him a bill.
One set of rules for the people who work and pay taxes that support the ruling elite.
Another set of rules for the ruling elite. They can do anything they want, and live high off the hog on our money while scorning us.
Damned hypocrite.
If you are a cop, you are a complete idiot if you volunteer for guarding this -——. I don’t care if it’s good overtime.
