New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said he had agreed to shift more than $1 billion in annual funding out of the New York Police Department, as he and the city council raced to agree on the city’s budget for the coming fiscal year.
The mayor provided few details Monday about the proposed reductions because he and the council were still in negotiations. However, part of the funding changes would involve shrinking the NYPD’s head count and transferring school safety agents and crossing guards from the control of the police to...
5 billion dollars for one department in nyc is just ridiculous.
80%+ of NYC's population understand this push to cut police funding is lunacy. Large Blue/Democrat city mayors & respective councils are COMPLETELY swallowing the bullshit of the tiny-but-loud, emotionally unhinged, wholly moronic hardcore Left.
Where are the millions his wife misplaced? Where is the money BLM has raised, building better communities, schools?
Still need more things done as well ...police pay for their own wrongful death lawsuit not the community, town or taxpayers
$1 billion dollars to the nyc pd but then again u have millions of americans who struggle each day,
And it goes in his wife’s account!
Where will that money go? Certainly not to people in need. Those in charge of distributing the funds will distribute it to themselves. Just like the Thrive money his wife took. Those in need will remain in need.
1 billion cut! That's a HUGE budget For an organization that produces nothing..
NYC looking more like Detroit everyday. Sad.
Get rid of the 2/3 of cops that are complacent or bad. Cut the budget in half. More money per good cop for better training and pay. The other half of budget can be spent on community projects
New York elected this air head and pay taxes for him to continue to ruin the city!
Give free bulletproof vests to the citizens. Also bullet proof car windows. We will need them
Anyone who voted for DB - congratulations, I hope you get what you asked for
International visitors will think twice before making plans to visit NYC.
Great the portion of New York’s population that hasn’t already fled the city will now be on their way out. Find some place other than Florida, we’re full.
Beyond Sad! A great city heading towards ruins
If you wish to relocate your businesses I know a safe area in Florida that would love to have you. Much more affordable and safe.
This world we live in today... i feel guilty i have a two year old. Poor girl.
Is he putting his wife in charge of this too?
They can use a lot less money on militarized weapons. Police Department's really received too much of States budgets. Imagine that. Imagine the police only responded to True emergencies. And non-emergencies were responded to by different departments. Something to think about
Do away with the police. What a great experiment! Glad I don't live there.
NYC, home of the first 48 that never gets solved.
I can scratch visiting Seattle, Minneapolis, Atlanta, and now New York off my list of travel destinations.
The main issue is not how much to spend money on police. Should be new rules of conduct which strictly protect human rights of each person.
Say goodbye to overtime. Lol, no police on patrol.
90% of NYPD budget is compensation. So either salary reductions are coming or force reductions are coming. Both will have very bad consequences. Who are your leaders? Why are you letting this happen?
Where is he shifting it to? How wife’s pocket?
In 2019 cops killed 1004 people. 370 whites, 235 blacks, 158 Hispanic, 39 other, 202 unknown. 375,000,000 police interactions annually & only a 1000 killed. White Lives Matter is not concerned, We LOVE LE, and we don’t care if White criminals get shot by police, they know better.
I can't wait to see NYC take over the daily murder rate lead from Chicago.
Thank you Democrats.
Well, let's just wait for the next terror scare and budget will be back..
Window dressing....
RIP New York
Will expect your editorial on why NYC needs tanks and armored vehicles tomorrow morning.....can't have the peasantry get out of hand and demand actual living wages and decent housing....elite bonuses might suffer
In fiscal year 2020 New York City’s expenses for the NYPD will total $10.9 billion with $5.6 billion operating budget, $5.3 billion of centrally allocated cost, $2.3 billion for fringe benefits, $2.8 billion for pensions, and $215 million for debt service. COVID-19 altered it.
Survival of the fittest.
Good idea given the increase violence and crime in the city. Perhaps they can start with his personal security.
New York is the next San Francisco, a shit stained crime ridden lump of trash
'I Love New York'! Right.
Buy guns, ammo, and a place outside NYC.
Funneling to his wife so she can make it.... poof
This is lunatic... and really bad news...
