AOC calls for police to be DEFUNDED to pay for homeless shelters
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] In the tweet, Bill Bratton - who worked under outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio - showed several homeless people sleeping on a subway train

  • AOC joined many on the left in slamming Bratton for insensitivity to homeless people and pointing out how much of the city's budget the police takes up

  • The second-term Congresswoman has vigorously fought for the 'defund' movement

  • Ocasio-Cortez said in June 2020 she's 'actively engaged in advocacy' for a 'reduction of our NYPD budget and defunding a $6billion NYPD budget

  • AOC has also supported several other policy solutions for police reform, including an end to qualified immunity that shields officers from legal accountability

  • The NYPD's budget is set to rise again from $5.22billion to $5.43billion in 2022

#3 They funded a 'tiny village' in Albuquerque for the homeless. "They built it and no one came". Seems they prefer to live without restrictions (like drugs/alcohol). People like AOC don't understand that these are only 'victims' of their own making and the vast majority don't want to change.

#4 Even after getting a college degree she couldn't get a job outside of a bartender. Credentials of a socialist deadbeat.

#5 Until constituencies that elect creatures like this can be punished by the rest of us, it will continue, and get even worse.

#7 A rhetorical question - will she be giving up her private security detail?

#8 I wonder how much money has been spent on homelessness over the years? Nothing but more homeless people. Guess she know a few "communtiy organizers".

#9 As the progressivists wish, you could spend every $ from national defense and policing on social programs - You'd still have homelessness, drug abuse, gang violence, drug abuse, and teh assorted ills. People will be what they will be
