De Blasio agrees to cut $1 billion from New York police budget
[THEHILL] New York City Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio
...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him...
 (D) is proposing a $1 billion cut to the New York Police Department's annual budget as calls grow across the nation for local governments to divert funding from law enforcement and put it toward other social services.

De Blasio said at a presser Monday that his office presented a budget to City Council over the weekend that would "achieve a billion dollars in savings" for New York police.

He said that the funds will be shifted to programs impacting young people and "communities in a way that would help address a lot of the underlying issues that we know are the cause of so many problems in our society."

"I am excited to say that we have a plan that can achieve real reform, that can achieve real redistribution, and at the same time ensure that we keep our city safe, and we make sure that our officers are on patrol where we need them around this city," de Blasio added.

Calls to defund the police and put government funding toward other social services have gained traction in the weeks since the May 25 death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis police. Mayors in the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
 and Los Angeles have pledged to cut police budgets, while city councils in places such as Washington, D.C., have passed a slate of reform measures to enhance law enforcement oversight.

#6 Among other things, Warren has been in office for I think 6 years...if these programs are so wonderful, why hasn't he implemented them before?

Downsizing government the hard way, because they refused to do so without clasping the craziness firmly to their bosoms.

But they are downsizing nonetheless, which is the important thing. And when they finally elect another Republican mayor, the police force will be upsized again. In the meantime, private security companies will no doubt be hiring pink-slipped police as fast as they can sign them up.

You'd have to be dumb, desperate or both to join the NYPD after this fiasco.

#13 according to https://www.unz.com/runz/race-and-crime-in-america/ NYPD does an unusually good job of keeping black crime down despite the density of black people.
Expect crime to explode there unless diluted with other less criminal tolerating races.
