| New York City Proves You Don't Have to Defund the Police, You Can Just Demoralize Them |
| 2020-06-30 |
| PJ via Instapundit Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani posted an emotional reaction to current events in New York City. Data-driven policing was one of the key tools he used to transform New York City from a dangerous and economically depressed city to a destination that drew business, tourism, and entertainment. He is now watching the police force that was critical to securing and improving the city being demoralized and destroyed. The trends Guiliani identified, related to the horrible leadership of Mayor Bill de Blasio, are starting to become obvious to everyone. The demoralization of the police department actually started several years ago. It first came to a head in 2014 following the assassination of officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos. There was such disdain for the mayor and his comments about law enforcement that preceded the shooting that hundreds of officers turned their backs on him at the officers’ funerals. While never fully repaired, an uneasy truce had evolved between the NYPD and the mayor. That all changed with the moral panic that ravaged cities nationwide in the last several weeks. While de Blasio has indicated he will be reducing funding for the NYPD in the budget due on June 30, his leadership and rhetoric during the recent riots are already having disastrous results. |

| #9 As long as DeBlasio's personal protection detail is the first to go, I'm fine with cutting the police budget. |

| #8 But DeBolshevik will cut a billion bucks from the NYPD just for good measure. Why do just one of those things when you can do both with twice the damage resulting? |

| #6 Cloward-Piven on morale. just make it so difficult and dangerous that no one in their right mind would want to pursue the career. in some respects, that's what the entire Deep State is attempting in regards to Trump, and in general any non-deep-state-owned politician. Who needs the bother? The fact that Trump has not just walked away and seems to actually be thriving is amazing. He is much more a patriot than any of the turds in Congress. |
