He said he is “committed to making this moment not just a moment.”
He said the city must move beyond police reforms of the past. “Prejudice can never be part of police work…It takes bravery to save lives, too.”
if LA wasnt a cesspool of crime, if the citizens of LA decided to stop the gangs, drugs, hookers and other crime you wouldnt need police but since its mob rule there 247/365 what do u expect. if u want change start with yourself and communities if not then police are essential
Oh yeah. This is gonna end well. Pity. Such short-sightedness. Anything for votes I suppose. It will work for Ted Wheeler. Likely work for Garcetti too. Maybe not though, because did Anyone else expect LA to have a more diverse voter pool than to elect yet another white Mayor.
eliza_mitnick Good luck. That big earth quake better hurry
MalcolmJenkins And totally flushed down the toilet. Just like welfare, how has that worked out to stop poverty? Just like food stamps but somehow the black communities still adopt diets that lead to obesity. Like gov. housing, that money was well spent. More free stuff to steal for everyone.
MalcolmJenkins 🤣
MalcolmJenkins AND to up the number of social workers so cops don't have to try and do it anymore ...... QUALIFIED Pros to actually help
MalcolmJenkins Oh,thats intelligent. More Crime , Drugs, Murders. How about invest in Social reforms, How to Raise a “FAMILY”. Birth Control, Parenting, Social skills. Upgrade the Inner City education system. Create some new opportunities. Lets not place Blame. Lets come up with SOLUTIONS!
MalcolmJenkins A complete idiotic idea to defund police! You need to educate yourself on what happens when police pull out of the intercity or any highly populated city. It’s the minority and low income people that suffer the most. You are ignorant of the facts in this situation get educated.
Sad when lives will be lost, hopefully they’ll be a looters life!
We will vote to get you out of the office many of us will feel safer having more law enforcement protect us and to turn the entire city over two thugs drug addicts and people who hold guns to pregnant women in a home invasion
MalcolmJenkins 'Black lives Matter means defund the police' -BLM website. Anyone that supports this is a communist and a nutjob.
NickJFuentes Debería dimitir todo el cuerpo de policía y que LA fuese consumida por la anarquía, a tomar por cvlo
AOC Stupid is as Stupid does:
MalcolmJenkins Where is the outrage
MalcolmJenkins Hey black people ip Bob Woodson of the Woodson Center!!!! Look him up!!!
AOC Just wait and see where this man reinvests that money. You'll be surprised.
What blows my mind the most is that they will spend millions of dollars on police, but have about $1.29 saved for EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT! I guess Californian’s are not at risk of a major earthquake. Im trippin.
How many times and how many Democrat politicians have lied telling you how they were going to help black communities (IF YOU DO THIS FIRST) BUT NEVER DO? They are using you as chumps! They want black Americans weak, poor, controllable. But most of all they want ALL the money.
AOC Defund police in LA. Good experiment how barbarism works in America. No cops. No 911. Gangs rule the streets.
MalcolmJenkins Idiot
DistortBot
MalcolmJenkins
MalcolmJenkins Nothing speaks I'm oppressed like burning a church, shooting a cop, and stealing a few pairs of Nikes.
at them because they r black
That’s it throw money at the black community. Next up reparations. I tried to be advocate for years for police brutality but this stuff just hurts the cause. Give ‘em Money because they are black at them....racism. I stand with black people but stop throwing money
Defunding the police is not the answer to police and criminal justice reform. A functioning society must protect business and industry through police services. Capital investments flee risk and will leave lawless cities facing poverty and incine disparity.
You do realize that you can go anywhere, do anything, congregate anywhere and you will be fine. Just say your protesting.
AOC This guys gets it.
MalcolmJenkins Drew Brees should be honored and respected as an American and his beliefs! Hey wait! He is white! Don’t we hate white people! Really solving racism! Clown!
JoeBiden came out in support of defunding the police.
AOC
wtf r they doing w 300B$ besides killing ppl do let me know
NickJFuentes Wow, welcome to the destruction of America i
Add in illegals and take away police? Wow, California use to be admired. So important yet so sad
People of color always need police protection as do all LA Citizens
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves I hope this comes back and hits you square in the face.. better be careful the way you keep shitting on the police one day you'll need them !!!
NickJFuentes I wonder why 😱
MalcolmJenkins Sooooo The plan is lower the funding decrease resources and pay. Good luck keeping the the good cops
MalcolmJenkins Does that include a plan to remove supremacists from our police force?
AOC Recall Black Panther Group and Weather Underground’s use of systemic racism and Police racism as an outcry to get rid of police. They also wanted to destroy capitalism. 50 years later we are back to hearing this crap again. It’s a false flag. Liberals using to tear America apart!
Good 🍀 !!!
AOC Progressive Democrats will be hurting the poor minority communities the most. The police are needed the most in these poor communities as the stats clearly indicate this is where the most crime is.👮♂️👮 Oh the irony. smh 🤦♂️
MalcolmJenkins Ed reeed should kiss that flag ! Love it ! Hug it ! If it wasnt for that flag u would have nothing
MalcolmJenkins His political career is over
MalcolmJenkins Defund Garcetti!! Give his entire salary to the homeless!!
AOC Stupid
MalcolmJenkins Now all violent criminals will need to be removed by the brave men of the NBA NFL and the woke celebrities who know longer want them. Meanwhile donations for BLM will help fund weapons for their just announced 'War on Cops'! Donate and defund, help kill a cop today! Progress!
Can't wait to see what happens when the police can't afford to patrol those communities. Should be interesting.
..so a 5.5%-8.3% cut out of THE CURRENT LAPD budget OF $1.8 BILLION.. NOPE, GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD AND TRY AGAIN
MayorOfLA MORE
NickJFuentes A final dagger to the heart of our City of Angels. Time to find a new home dudes. It's been nice while it lasted.
Mr Garcetti....anyone who cuts the budget of Law Enforcement Officers is a Fool. BREAKING NEWS: 57 Officers Quit the Force in Buffalo NY. You think with all this garbage going on you can get any new Officers wanting to get on the Force They’ll tell you to go pound sand. 🤦🏽♀️🇺🇸
Tweet AT the mayor, people don’t just respond to a news outlet. MayorOfLA
dont some schools only get a 100mil budget? so they saved one school?
MAY BE HE SHOULD CUT 100%-WHO NEEDS THE POLICE?
They had that much to cut
MalcolmJenkins If I were you I would pack that family up and move to LA...You should right now. MAYFLOWER Ltd...Malcom U and the players who use the 1st amendment when needed are critical of others when they exercise that same amendment. Terrible how U use race. I now understand you reputation!
As everyone else is saying, this is pocket change for them, but even if it was 100% of their budget I still wouldn’t give them a modicum of credit until I see meaningful change being made. It’s so easy to 'invest in a community' in a way that’s just another handout to the rich.
LMFAO im so glad I’m not a cop
A step in the right direction, but still peanuts compared to the overall funds they still receive. Don’t just stop there.
AOC I'd be curious to know what the crime stats are in big cities like LA, NYC, Chicago.. the cities and communities that need MASSIVE attention where systematic racism is REAL is southern states: LA, Miss, Alabama, TN, GA. Not freaking California. Are you kidding me?
BiancaJagger
MalcolmJenkins That would be great! LA is already such a safe place!!! What to see what those Hill people will do after getting mugged. Are they gonna call... oh, that’s right, they won’t have the phone anymore to call the police; just got stolen and there won’t have police! MORONS!!!
Not enough
Keep on also releasing more criminals from Jails do to covid add more icing on the cake. What an idiot or he is a Master Mind ?
Nowhere near enough.
How bout doing something about the areas that have been bad for decades and address your homeless problem.
MalcolmJenkins Yes maybe the hero malcom will protect the people.not
Lets GO
When I want to imagine a dystopian future I find a video showing me L.A.
AOC This is derangement
AOC And FLASH! The criminals refused to sign a commitment letter to obey the law. I guess they envy conditions in San Francisco.
AOC
What percentage of the LAPD budget went toward baitbricks?
What percentage of the budget is that?
Good stuff 👏🏽
This is how you INCREASE cases of police brutality by lowering the quality of the police. When you give them less money they’re going to do a worse job.
They know well that the rabble are impressed with 'Million', and won't (and probably can't) do the math to see it's less than 5%.
So cutting the budget will increase the quality of police officers... that’s like saying “WE NEED BETTER EDUCATION, SO LETS CUT THEIR FUNDING AND THAT WILL REALLY MAKE US GET BETTER TEACHERS!”
But the shitting on the public sidewalks thats still allowed right?
For what? The communities funeral expenses ? ‘cause you cut the funding of their police protection? Clueless leaders are a danger to society!!🤬
Their getting more planned parenthood clinics with that money?👍
cool. more
AOC Then let these people figure out their own problems.
Keke Palmer once said 'that ain’t enough for me”
MalcolmJenkins That's it waste the tax money
Here's to the next 95%
Don’t be shy cut some more
That sin of a man still hasn’t stepped down and they are still giving 3 BILLION DOLLARS to police. Are you fucking kidding me! This still isn’t enough!
Not enough. Keep going.
not good enough yet but him starting to make tiny little adjustments is definitely showing change is starting to steadily come about from these protests. don’t stop now we need this energy to keep going if we want anything to actually happen.
AOC Lonnie Franklin Jr., a.k.a. the ‘Grim Sleeper’ Timothy Joseph McGhee. Charles Manson. Bruce Jeffrey Pardo. Richard Ramirez. I would say LA needs it Cops. Just not militarized and not as bigoted as they are today.
La residents better buy some guns
They’re cutting HOW MUCH Are they really investing so much in the cops? That’s insane
cut more
LA: We're cutting funds to the PD. Criminals:
You know it's odd that Berlin's police budget is nearly half of that of LA's, and Berlin has lower crime than LA. And both cities have relatively similar populations. Hmmmm
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, City Officials Reallocating 100-150 Million Tax Payer Dollars From LAPD Budget To Communities Of Color Because Funding An Institution That Just Acts Like Nazis Seems Like The Wrong Move Fixed it for ya
AOC Idiots
cfinch916 Bad decision if you choose to follow through with this Mayor Garsetti! You’d be weakening the safety of American citizens in CA!! Bad move!
AOC AOC saw that you retweeted this. A heads up - even with these cuts the LAPD budget will be increasing by over $400 million to well over $1.5 billion. Also deadline is bootlicker racist trash
Eric, MN is fully cutting their police force and restructuring.
Keep fighting!
MORE
Yes, cut the budget. I can’t wait till all the police quit and leave LA defenseless. Can’t wait to see the city burn. 👍🏼 please hurry
OMG - I will NEVER go to LA again!
Anyone else think this will backfire?
AOC Money needs to be invested in retraining and phycological evaluation + treatment to all police members nationwide and to those that don’t come around they need to be fired and tagged as violent people so they don’t get jobs anywhere for the rest of their lives.
AOC And how big is their budget?
lmao
Please cut it in the Beverly Hills and Malibu areas. The celebrities need people to have closer access to hear all their opinions.
Serious question: will they be checking the skin color of the LEOs when they decide who to lay off?
just saw the reported budge for LA, not good enough.
Time to build a wall around LA County!!!
MalcolmJenkins What a chump, you really should start with your protection detail, you are no more important than the thugs you bowed down to yesterday. Why do you need protection those thugs won't hurt you would they
AOC Property owners in LA should consider selling now while their property is still worth something & relocate to safer pastures.
AOC Prepare to have LA be the most dangerous city in America. It was as already bad, now it's going to be the real Escape from LA.
AOC So your not protecting normal law abiding citizens You sure as hell cant pin a single thing on Trump...morons
MalcolmJenkins Everything Drew said was spot on..It baffles me that people like you blame the police for the massive failures occurring in the black community...Yes that cop killed Mr. Floyd but if you think that is even remotely a major issue in the black community then you are clueless..
Consequences for voting for Democrats. You like the destruction on your streets? Keep voting for them. When the shops all close they’ll be coming to your neighborhoods Get used to the riots, get used to the looting get used to the arsonists, because they just got the green light
Now they're trying bribes
MalcolmJenkins That should work out well for the black community. Malcolm is a millionaire so he could care less. Most blacks are law abiding and want police protection. 492 black men were murdered in Chicago last year. Malcom couldn't name one. He did get Brees to grovel.
MalcolmJenkins Malcolm you are doing great work. I’m certain that defunding police will do a world of good for the black community.
MalcolmJenkins What a shitty idea. Less funding = Less regulation = more bad cops, isn’t that the opposite of what we want?
Let's see, defund police completely. These looters will take over 100%, America as we know it will be gone. Give looters free range, I don't think so.
this is good
GIVE US THE OTHER 3 BILLION!
AOC Cancel that trip to the beach...
MalcolmJenkins Don't come crying when your city is in shambles and crime is running rampant....we will not help you.
MalcolmJenkins
AOC If we continue to only treat the symptoms we will never defeat the real issue; poverty and helplessness.
MalcolmJenkins South central will suffer the most from this idiocracy
MalcolmJenkins You wouldn’t last 5 minutes in our Armed Forces before you would pee your freaking pants!!!
MalcolmJenkins FOOTBALL ISN’T WAR YOU JERK!!!
AOC Maybe these funds should be reinvested into replacing the police cruisers that the rioters destroyed! 105 k a pop.
AOC Police should go on strike. See how long before they are begged to come back.
MalcolmJenkins So ericgarcetti get these funds into the hands of nonprofits in LA. Check with CalEndow for guidance.
AOC Police departments should go on strike in every city that want to defund them immediately. See how long before the strike is ended and the Socialist Democrats are kissing up to them asking them to please protect their cities from looters, gangs and weak minded protestors.
My son and daughter in law live there & have videos That show otherwise. No more photo ops by elected officials! Be true 2 urself b true 2 others.
What can go wrong?
It cracks me up how many of your constituents want to completely defund the police. They are deluded, but you are too for caving into them They will be going for your job next, MayorOfLA because the money you cost could be going them.
If you cut funding to the police, who would protect Minority single women?
It’s not much, but it’s definitely a start and a step in the right directing.
THAT’S NOT ENOUGH. DO BETTER EVEN THO WE ALL KNOW YOU DONT WANT TO
I'm sure it will be ok.
Why were y'all giving that much to them any fuckin way?
Los Angeles is going to become a war zone...
The police should just leave California and see what happens. Why should they be blamed for the actions of 4 men.
gangs in LA out there like..
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
YOU NEED TO FIX THE ROADS IN COMPTON MayorOfLA
Mother racist based policy not need based. Very Obama like
$100M-150M, that’s it....? they still have billions.
Chump change. Puhlease.
POTUS WhiteHouse PressSec I feel every police officer should hang up their badge and leave California!!! It's clear they don't respect the sacrifice you make every day when you put on that badge!!! Let's all sit back and watch what happens... It will be epic!!!
Don’t be shy, put some more
This is an effort to placate the masses. 3 billion for a police force is an abomination. Mayor Garcetti ONLY CUT LAPD BUDGET BY 5%. That's how much black lives are worth to city leaders. 5%. DefundThePolice graphic thanks to KtownforAll.
Remember this when you are trying to dial 911 for HELP!
Fuck y'all cut it down
And I bet they put it into schools that subconsciously teach you white men are hero’s and black people started off as slaves
Should really be a trade off, then. Give the money to programs in those communities, but also reduce police response to and presence in those communities. Since throwing money at it will fix the problem, the cops won't be needed there anyway, right?
This is racist against white people. I want my white reparation for your black privilege.
MayorOfLA Go back and try again! You work for us!
AOC So awesome, use it to pay for housing for the homeless, much better than SWAT equipment for a paramilitary complex!
NickJFuentes Good to see that everyone is pleased with this stunning and brave decision.
MalcolmJenkins Guess everyone’s safety is expendable‼️
AOC How about a bigger chunk of that $3,000,000,000 budget you have there? DefundThePolice PoliceReform
Maybe they can remove their spines as well! cowards justpray BLEXIT GodWins
MayorOfLA Hes been mayor since 2013 and now everyone's bitchin' about money? Maybe he can donate from his failed potus run stash. Hes a colossal fail, so is CA govt. Sheep panderer.
ericgarcetti this is really how you wanna go about this? How in the world does this make sense!? The blood on your hands will never wash. Cut them more.
Don’t they get billions?
MalcolmJenkins lol.... this will not end well. how do you reinvest in communities of color? bring in white people and teach them how to act or conduct themselves? how to speak english?
I say just defund completely and let the criminals take over LA and let the total destruction happen. No great loss if LA is destroyed.
Garcetti is desperately trying to buy peace. It won’t work. It never has.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Quit trying to use patriotism to hide your racism
FOR SALE ........ EVERY HOUSE IN L.A ANY REASONABLE OFFER CONSIDERED PLEASE HURRY !
$150 million for abortion clinics, liquor stores and check cashing stores. This is all the LEFT will offer you, leave the LEFT and restore your God given rights and be a conservative.
'rioting doesn't work'
Thats great who is going to police and protect all these new free give aways.
There was no outcry when white trans award winning singer was falsely arrested by police and placed in not legal gender cell after false charges of iPhone cord theft by alleged felony assault at Apple. Apple and police now being sued but no news. No black privilege riots .
Who gets the contract? Crypts or bloods?
Okay, now cut a whole billion.
That should help
Oh good! Just like the billions you muppets spent on the homeless problem which was so effective. Looking forward to it!!!
Lol LA is soon to be more of a 💩 🕳
Let me fix that for you. Funds are going to be reinvested in programs and companies of political donors who will bleed them dry of any real value making a bad situation even worse.
Violent, armed looters overrun Santa Monica Music Center: 'They took everything from us, and no one stopped them' Explore the Fox News apps that are right for you at
NOT ENOUGH
LAPD still will get over 75% of the city’s funding. This is progress, but still too low.
It's a good start!
Thankless job already under funded! BackTheBlue
This needs to happen nationwide. KnowYourBudget CallYourMayor
they need to do better
Stupidity
You mean those communities that the people themselves destroy. SMH. Besides the weather maybe I'm not sure why anyone would wanna live in that state with the piss poor leadership they have out there
MalcolmJenkins Get ready to see the homicide rate go up.
Cut the mayor and replace with a non virtue signaller.
if the system has too many escape holes to hold the police accountable, take away their money.
MalcolmJenkins Where are these social justice warriors when it isn’t a black man killed by a cop. What about black babies? Black on black crime? Black police officers?
MalcolmJenkins What for abortions?
I think all the robbers/thieves will all flock in Los Angeles. They can rob the millionaires’ homes and no police will respond. 😂🤣👊 Calling all Criminals! Proceed to california!! hahaha
Good luck L.A. have fun with that lol.
keep going :)
Still a budget increase over last year. They are full of shit.
Another dead state... hilarious 😆
How will that help to protect poor communities?
Gee, I wonder how this is going to play out.
Los Angeles will be a Hell hole of anarchy & total destruction without the police:
When the crime rate goes up they’ll start griping police aren’t doing their job. Mark it.
Oh this will solve EVERYTHING!
'Communities of color.' Translation: Not Black people. ados
Dumbest thing around. Cut funding of a department that protects people. Can only imagine when something bad happens and the response is super slow due to the budget cuts what the excuse will be.
Difference does it make a police arrest people and they’re out on the streets within a couple hours good luck Los Angeles city your mayor just took a knee and it’s disrespectful to his own police officers
Out of a $3 BILLION dollar budget.
See the Kurt Russell movie 'Escape from New York'!!!
Can someone please explain what a budget cut is going to do to help our situation
This is leadership? What a Joke!
AOC Think I'll move to LA their going to be having some great fire sales.
I don't understand, shouldn't they be increasing funding to the police to educate and retrain their members? How will this help reduce police brutality? I don't understand
Cue the exodus from the Cities. SF is next. Progressives ruined a great thing.
Time for change, our ancestors didn't suffer for nothing.
We need to take another BILLION not 100 million.
Needs to be more. Like a few billion and reinvested in schools in low income areas
How about de-fanging and de-clawing the corrupt police unions, so that criminals pretending to be officers can be permanantly removed from LE service.
Wow, we knew Garcetti was an idiot after watching him kneel before the terrorists. But now, he is now approaching Deblasio levels of stupid
Narrow sighted.
LAPDHQ 911LAPD LAPDHollywood LAPDWestLA LAPDTopanga LAPDTopanga LAPDWilshire LAPDwestvalley LAPDDevonshire LAPDSouthTraff Your city is abandoning you! Move to the midwest, we'd love to have you!
Out of three billion? That’s fucking nothing.
Cut all taxpayer funded welfare programs for illegal aliens and welfare cheats. You’ll have Billions
It won’t do any good. They don’t care about themselves or their community.
good luck! How about Hollywood raise money for the city and then you don't have to defund the crime fighters? No? Ok
Yes, great idea. More money for illegal immigrants and drug dealers. No wonder cities with leftist mayors have the highest homeless populations.
With so many idiots on this thread no wonder California's going to Hell in a hand basket! Once when the Police force is fully defunded, please tell me who's going to protect the communities? Do you idiots think that the gang members will keep you safe?
California will be more of a ghetto then it already is
🗣🗣“TRY AGAIN MUTHAFUCKA”
So Hollywood dead? Perhaps now the elite of Hollywood, when they see that they begin to be victims of crimes, they will change their minds regarding DefundThePolice
I'm not sure this is a good idea. Police need more vetting & psych profiles before being hired. They need training on mediation, communication & conflict resolution. You want those willing to serve & protect, not treat the badge a licence to kill. That takes more funding not less
MalcolmJenkins MayorOfLA cmon give the black communites at least 1 or 2 billion this is sad mayor this is not right this is injustice at its finest
its just gunna go back to the LAPD because they overpolice them. I think that money should go into educating police more. What they do is the exact response to having 8 weeks of education to become a fucking cop. Not appropriate.
I guess that's all money that won't go towards police training in de-escalation and racial bias.
Lol. Thanks for the pocket change MayorOfLA BUT WE NEED A REAL FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT AWAY FROM POLICING and toward PROTECTING innocent civilians and our constitutional rights. notenough
Nothing like a good Pandering to get the day going. So now you don’t get to ask for shit from the Feds. You fund ILLEGALS and now defund Police. California keeps getting dumber and more ass backwards by the day.
WHERES TED WHEELER
Enjoy the resulting mayhem and destruction MayorOfLA
NOT ENOUGH. THEY DONT EVEN DESERVE ANYTHING ABOVE A DOLLAR.
Wonder who they will blame when those communities of color get overrun by crime. This is pathetic and dangerous.
. I heard he was out chanting this. Fits him just about right!
lol - you guys are so screwed.
Good luck with that.
Did he not hear the conference calls? Is he stupid or super stupid? You know what LA keep protesting, because apparently he didn’t get the message!!!
'Communities of color' that's not Black.
NickJFuentes I think they should defund the police entirely, that way there will be no one to enforce all these stupid assault weapon bans.
This is insane
What a fool .
This is a band-aid PR stunt. Deep structural changes are needed to policing function in Los Angeles, and if Garcetti cannot commit to serious action, he should resign or be replaced.
In other words City Officials are going to be multi-millionaires when they launder that money.
How more pathetic could this get...?
With the budget cuts, reduce patrols in the beautiful neighborhoods of Compton and Watts. Well worth the loss of 150 mill if cops don’t have to go into those shitholes.
I didn't think Dems could do more to destroy their own communities but the last week+ has taught me a lesson. And now this! What could go wrong here?
THE LAPD BUDGET IS 3,000,000,000 AND YOU’RE ONLY CUTTING 100,000,000. HOW ABOUT WE ADD ANOTHER ZERO AND CHANGE THAT 1 TO A 3
You re robbing the country , since you occupied it from the native indians
Get the hell of out of LA NOW!!!!!
Wow! This is SERIOUSLY dangerous - this is just going to cause police to withdraw from “diverse” areas and the communities of color will just end up killing each other
'I was doing wrong my whole life. I thought that to get money I had to WORK'
We'll see. Glad I don't live there.
Why? Have we reached the point of peak stupidity?
Things will further, if possible, go to shit in LA...sad
So the LAPD will still have 95-97% of its original budget. Do better.
Instead of taking taxing the money out of corporations, you're taking it from the police force that protects us. As if police officers don't make too little already.
Just disband whole police department. this is what LA voters deserve
Have fun LA. What a moron.
Fuck that puto that is not even 7 percent the police budget while the rest of the programs like parks and rec help for the homeless and other programs alike don’t get nearly as much we need for them, but the police budget is way outta of control
Wow California is so corrupt
Why is this idot listening to 1%. Tell these idots to get fu****. Hire more police, enough to shut this sh** down. Never bow to thugs!
Can’t wait to see how that works out! Keep an eye this fools brother in laws bank account and contracts
Don’t come crying to the Federal Government when you need help... put your big boy pants on and take care of it yourself
Sick!
AOC That sounds great...maybe you and Nancy can hang at her mansion eating ice cream..we could all come cause there will be no cops there to protect
Liberals = there is a problem with police, let’s cut funding. Also liberals = there is a problem with (literally anything else), let’s throw money at it.
To all the Police that have to deal with this crazy leftist bullshit and a budget cut, Dallas Police Department and various others could use some good officers, and we don't have a state tax! Give it a look!
Welcome lawlessness in LA!
Cancel LA28 Olympics.
California state and local governments owe $1.5 TRILLION in unfunded mandatory expenses mostly for retired and retiring government workers. More then half of LA workers are currently unemployed. California is bleeding taxpayers and jobs. California is 59 billion short in revenue.
That will make Los Angeles more or less safe?
Just let the police work from home.
Yes!
Classic pandering.
MalcolmJenkins Reinvested how? Pay for all the damage the “protesters” did? It’s something they should be happy. Maybe they wouldn’t need such a tremendous budget if there weren’t so much crime and bs they have to respond to. Food for thought...
sophiaphotos $100-150 million removed from a budget of $3 billion is fucking chump change.
Does this come out of the police defending all the Hollyweird and Bel Aire mansions? I'm guessing not.
MalcolmJenkins Kinda like Christmas for criminals. More money to provide nicer business with more stuff to loot. With no police or guns for the business owners to protect their businesses and no deportations, jails or bail so no penalties for criminals. Awesome.
That should help your minority small business owners!
I'd love to see the salaries of everyone involved with the LAPD leadership
Not nearly enough. DefundTheLAPD
Then when liberals call for help dont answer!
what a monon .. lets see how LA looks like in a year or two
MalcolmJenkins This is great. I want to see that shit hole destroyed. The police need to walk off the job and see what this wimp does then.
Extortion on a grand scale . Gangs rule now
Cutting 10 percent doesn't do it. Crime is at a 25 year low (and it's NOT because of policing). What are they spending it on?
MalcolmJenkins Malcolm you stand with PhillyMayor & DA_LarryKrasner and the democrats, who all said nothing about Haiti and what was done. You been hoodwinked by politicians
They gon see a spike in crime smh
Cut more. That’s not enough. Cut a billion dollars
It won't help. Money is no substitute for a strong family that wants its children to succeed.
How has that worked out so far?
Cops need to go on strike
MalcolmJenkins That's what I'm talking about
MalcolmJenkins Then when that doesn’t work, what then?
Got paid to riot. Sweet!
Let us know how that budget cut to LAPD goes....on second thought...you will all be dead after the police wont be able to respond to your calls for help....
Ppl cheering this on is baffling
I moved from the LA Shithole 4 years ago. Best thing I ever did.
Conservatives need to leave en masse. California is lost. New York is lost. Move to a red or purple state like Colorado.
Translation: 150 million to Democrat consultant buddies of the Mayor. 1/2 of the $$$ will be funneled back to local, state and national DNC.
Take them off the streets right now. See how that works. Let everyone get a sneak peak. What's going to be reinvested? Bars and bullet proof glass everywhere?
Violent extortion works then? Sends a rather stupid message.
So the message is if we scream loud enough. Fill the streets and destroy the city we get what we want? Great lesson.
Better raise that to at least $1 billion if you don’t want no smoke
They need to keep cutting.
So now you have even worse police how the hell does that help
pam1715 ericgarcetti He is blowing a lot of black folks on his knees like that...
NickJFuentes political posturing to make the riots stop. who cares.
not enough
that's it? that's like less than 1%
Enjoy your crime wave
Brilliant fucking idea! Cut the LAPD budget to encourage the officers you want to retain, to leave in droves!!!
CUT THE BUDGET BY 50%!!!!!!!!!! what u did was simply not enough!! the money used for the police can be invested in so much more for the community. It can help decrease poverty and help children especially stay away from the crimes u obssess about!!
That's roughly 3% of their budget. That's a pittance. Do better.
Not good enough.
Every member of the LAPDHQ should walk off the job in protest and not return until ericgarcetti is removed from office! Those who support him should never again call 911 because nobody will be helping you from this point on. 911LAPD
They could just equal out the budget between all of their city divisions, or near it
Good. This Mayor still totally blows.
You're screwed if you live in LA.
Not good enough
must be lots of city officials on the take, from that account.
Not enough.
NickJFuentes After they burned half of it down
20x that amount please. We don’t need all that money going into a glorified gang.
Okay, $150 million to CoC's. Now what about 'cutting' few 100 million for Blacks?
Good now cut the rest
NickJFuentes Let LA burn, it's a dumpster anyway
AOC What a horror Old people are beaten, vehicles ram demostrants, horses injure passers-by .... tear gas ... explosions .... Trump supports violence against his own people. Trump has to go .... immediately ....
Communities of color or ACTUAL black communities?
It is symbolic of greater intentions
Cut deeper.
You mean to reinvest in illegals and sanctuary cities. Here I fixed it for you. Black ppl will never see it
Don’t be shy, cut some more
With a 3 BILLION DOLLAR budget I think not...🤨
AOC What the hell? Are you serious? Are you trying to destroy LA? getoutofoffice
AOC A
Cut the police budgets around the country and help the people of color. THEN if CRIME goes up and there is not enough police to handle it then it’s back on the people and American citizens are to blame. This will help clear up any misunderstanding as to what needs to be done!!
chump change. pathetic.
This is bullshit. Defund entirely and use that 3 billion to fund programs that actually help people.
Jim_B60 'That allocation is pegged at $1.8 billion in the mayor’s previously proposed budget.' $1,800,000,000.00 - 150,000,000.00 ---------------------- $1,650,000,000.00 Yawn. DefundThePolice AbolishThePolice DefundLAPD FireChiefMoore RESIGNERICGARCETTI BlackLivesMatter
If you want to spend money on cops, spend on training them to be better humans not provide more murder weapons.
pathetic, quadruple that and you’re getting close
sabrinarosev what i say
Budget needs to be cut in half. No more overtime. Officer fired for first civil rights offense.
throwing money into a blender
Good start! Now bump it up to a billion... mayorofla
I thought it was illegal discriminate based on race.
You all seem to forget that LAPD is the second largest police force in American and provides all of its personal with medical insurance retirement plans and the cost of up keep of buildings and equipment
Not enough out of a budget of 3 billion
Not enough

That is only 5%!!!! MayorOfLA come back when you have real numbers and Lacey’s resignation on your desk. As well as Chief Moore’s. Thank you.
AOC Thats a start
Cut their budget in half.
5%..
This isn’t enough! DefundLAPD
FIRE MOORE
How does this help against police brutality?
Yet the police keep 2 billion to harass and kill people
Don’t be shy put some more MayorOfLA
Most of that money better go to the black community because often times when ppl say minorities or POC black ppl get the shortest end of the stick.
chicagosmayor ChicagoPolicy
they don't understand what defund means.
MayorOfLA CD6Nury “3.3 billions dollars. Wait people are protesting let’s show them that we are being super tough on police unions! We will give them 3.2 billions. Yeah seems right, people are dumb enough to believe our feckless resistance.”
Changes in law are needed.
Out of $3 billion you absolute bastard
I’ll believe it when I see it
Let's wait to see what happens. Criminals love nothing better than a weak police force
Your headline is misleading and information in your own article makes this clear. The mayor is not ‘cutting’ - he simply undid a new increase approved just days before. Editors dadehayes DinoRay and MayorOfLA need to do better. WordsMatter BLMLA
Now do 1.5 billion. Put half that pig on the grill and FEED IT TO THE CITY!
not good enough ericgarcetti
He can't decide if it's 100 or 150 million?

MayorOfLA
Still not enough. It's still crumbs.
Alright, make sure those funds go to help the cause not into your pocket now.
Why defund LAPD in the first place? They are already dismantling the gang member database which is a BAD move.
Maybe we can go to Garcetti’s house and kneel on his neck. That’ll get his budget cutting scissors out very quickly.
Can we please see an itimized budget on what they spend the rest of the 3 billion on?
'Safer at Home' neat sign you've got there
a drop in the ocean, this is an insult. take their tanks off them.
AOC What a great privilege to be black in America!
Breaking in 6 months. Gun sales in LA hit all time highs. Property values plummet.
BladaKnowsBest How in the hell you can cut 100 million from a budget if it wasn’t an excessive waste to begin with?
BladaKnowsBest Why does LAPD have a 3 billion budget? That’s the real question.
Communities of colour? Asian? Latino? Be more specific!
IMontoyaResists The police union is going to have a problem with this. LA needs to prepare citizens watches and block committees to protect eachother till the union breaks up or shuts up.
Let's all keep an eye on the homicide rate for the next 2 years in LA, and see exactly what happens.
Ppl will have no choice but to arm themselves, the absolute lunacy of all those pandering to this will find kneeling & money will never be enough they want blood 🤔
That’s not enough. They need AT LEAST a 50% decrease in funding. BlackLivesMatter
NickJFuentes ...this will only make things worse. The poor and non-criminal people in those communities will feel the impact of less police presence. If you have more crime you have more indoctrination and the cycle continues...
So not enough!! Not sure if you were paying attention on Tuesday
What are communities of color? West Hollywood is colorful as hell, there ain't no black people there tho.
AOC About time. Now let’s see the the rest of them do it. This will let us know who we have running our towns.
Dang that’s a lot of artillery they can’t fund now
What does people of color mean? That dont mean black. Here y'all go, we not fooled.
Communities of color? GTFOH! Say Black!
thecrisismag Beverly hills is a very colorful community! Green grass, bright flowers and a variety of different colored houses! My community is not that colorful. However, we are the ones suffering! Can the black communities be named specifically for reinvestment Mayor?
They need to fire the problematic cops too, this is not enough
They get $3b foh. And you need to fire that sorry excuse of a chief michel Moore.
Just cut them checks from that 100-150 million!
More
Good, I hope this is the beginning of a national look at cop budgets and how ridiculously bloated they are, overflowing with military grade weapons and vehicles that belong overseas.
NickJFuentes WE ARE LIVING A NIGHTMARE.
Like they’ll make good of that money. Always trying to conform to blacks that have no respect for you.
This is a pacifier his trying To shove in your mouth. Spit it out demand demilitarization of police, new training programs. Money to go back into education, job programs & homeless help
AOC ❤️❤️❤️
perhaps they could use it to retrain the police I offer this as a template
I think Mayor Garcetti is really doing well in 2020. Running rings around De Blasio when it comes to showing leadership; that’s for sure. This seems like a great idea.
LilRel4 I need this to happen in Apopka ain’t know way these clown should be able to afford a whole tank and drones and ain’t shit been done to lee sto yet!! Apopka BlackLivesMatterAPK
Not enough
AOC Really? Wonder if it's going to the real needy or are the corrupt ones going to line their pockets. Disgusting to take away from the police and hand it over ..taxpayer dollars who need protection..to possible corruption. Keep America strong.
i’m sick of hearing that “colored” bs
LAPD SCUM OF THE EARTH
If you can pull $150 MILLION just like that, then it’s not enough It will never be enough until the amount results in cops no longer being violent thugs who know they can get away with anything
AOC Not enough.
This will be a great case study...
Jokes
Turn the tanks into mobile testing centers
AOC Sounds like a big number but it’s chump change!! With a $1.7 billion budget that cut need to be $500 billion... right fucking now!!
About time!!!
Natalie_Hatcher WTF is a “community of color' exactly? 🤔Sounds like a con game to me. The only people I see being systematically abused by police, over and over again, are Black. ...and since most Black ppl have been gentrified out of their own 'communities,' who's really getting those funds?
MORE
LilRel4 Holy shit, that’s a big win.
Cool. Maybe we can deport all rioters to LA!
Good now cut it by another 250 million And then another 250 million, arrest a few dozen of the worst LAPD officers and charge them (which boom look I just save money in the budget)
I watched videos of the people of LA literally curse out everybody in that office and you basically said 'here y'all go, damn' lol they finna drag you
😂 wat a joke
Slash the police budgets by 50% or more!!!!
The force didn’t start off where it is now, it grew to this size. Why? Because there was so much crime the then current staff levels couldn’t keep up, so they added more! The current rioting and looting should paint the picture of what’s to come! These fucking losers!
AOC The Myth of Systemic Police Racism - WSJ
Cut MayorOfLA out while we're at it. $100-$150 million out of 3 billion? Thanks for proving time and time again how little you actually care. Oh and was BreonnaTaylor safer at home? 🤔 Maybe read the goddam room next time, or at least read the slogan...
Not good enough.
Can someone ask him why he filled up outdoor skate parks with sand bc of COVID yet kneeled at the crotches of protestors in a crowd yesterday?
NickJFuentes What?
Not enough. Fire the chief too.
Mayor of LA Eric Garcetti: 'Emergency Mgmt $200 Cultural Affairs $150 Parks & Rec $800 LAPD 3 BILLION Housing & CommDev $150 someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. My city is dying' Us: 'Mayor spend less on LAPD' Eric Garcetti: 'no'
This is a GREAT BIG JOKE isn't it? The police get 54% of California's ENTIRE budget. Billions and billions of dollars! Cutting $150 million ONLY is a great big slap in the face to the THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS who demanded the firing of chiefmoore and the defunding of the police!
chicagosmayor
Cops aren't essential to CRIMINALS. No more Federal funds for LA.
tufkaa Yeah..., but the private military then...
I often wonder if officials/reps don’t understand how a google search works. Did they think no one would know that the LAPD receives 3 Billion?
IMontoyaResists More of this across the nation. Fewer cops, fewer unnecessary traffic stops, fewer confrontations with citizens, more foot patrols in civilian looking uniforms, more officers from local communities. More of that money into communities, schools, daycare, etc.
NickJFuentes Why does cops budget have to be dug into ..... why not you and your staff take a pay cut in solidarity......
KameronMichaels How about the Mayor, Governor, Senators and Congressmen take a major paycut and forfeit their pensions.
Great
This country is not run by the people it's run by private organization give the power back to the people vote do the research and please just vote one of the only few ways to see actual change and not just put a bandage on the problem
LilRel4 It's a start! We are seeing some progress! I know it's only 5% but it's a start!
Nice start, keep going
Not enough
Don’t be shy cut some more come on cut some more
Thanks
AOC Every cop on the LAPD should walk off the job now.
This will TOTALLY help low income communities most at risk for violence. As long as the wealthy white neighborhoods aren't effected, fuck 'em. Right?
Serious question: Are people proposing that the city would be better off without any law enforcement?
Not enough. DefundThePolice
add another 0, imo
AOC Not enough....
Good. They can stop buying tanks and riot gear.
nowhere near enough money
It's a start.
He's jew
AOC He up for reelection lol
Fuck the LAPD
He means black community right
Crumbs from the table of overseers. The AmericanPoliticalAristocracy does not concern itself with the opinions of ThePeople.
What a disgrace, I hope they stood policing the hoods
From 3 BILLION?
In the middle of the riots....What could go wrong?
That's a 5% cut. Put the fucking percentages. Put PERSPECTIVE on the goddamn headline. People barely understand 'millions', but all of them understand a FUCKING PERCENTAGE
We need Eric Garcetti to cut it down by at least a Virgil
ericgarcetti “communities of color” how much specifically is going to black people?
How about you give the LAPD 100k and invest the money into the citizens fuck face. Sure as shit you can afford it. Give it to low income schools, PAY TEACHERS, higher minimum wage, in fact while we’re talking about money EQUAL PAY for men and women. Improve poor neighborhoods too
Democrats have used the same message on young people of color for 300 years. Their lives mattered serving wealthy democrats before the civil war. Today they matter to their decendents serving as pawns and proxies in political battles as they try to start another one. BLM
And yet now another clown ericgarcetti emerges from the big top FOH
Don’t be shy, cut some more
Good.
The citizens ask you to defund the police.... response is no but will give you about 3 percent of your money back..... ummmm what are public officals here for again?
2.9 billion to go until the protests end
Its Not Enough!!! Ppl have gotten seriously injured & have died due to your decision to alow the police to harm peaceful protesters

are communities of color where democrats have been corralling black Americans for 100 years? Keeping them poor, dependent and pissed off for control of their votes
Here's a quick savings tip: if you indict the crooked officers you can cut down significantly on staffing costs
Peak Los Angeles. This oughta work out well.
Police should also do community service beautifying their city
That's probably just increase they were expecting for this year. Lol
YOUR OUT GARCETTI that is pathetic that is absolutely pathetic!!!
Why is it when we watch the public executions it’s always black people? But when it’s time to pay the reparations it goes to “communities or color?”
7777MYNAME Stop vote for these people
Why do they have a $3b budget?! Tf? That's excessive and nothing to emergency 😂😂😂😂
Yes get rid of cops entirely, LA needs be enriched without any sort of opposition
NickJFuentes
NOT. ENOUGH.
We are BLACK AMERICANS, We are NOT PEOPLE OF COLOR!
A drop in the bucket
angie_keathly Until the Police Commissioner is at State verses local level with an ombudsman no true independent oversight will happen. The commissioner hAs never done it’s job It’s 100% lip service with high paid people who rubber stamp police misbehavior we are better off without the Police
$100 Millions out of 3 billions? You must be joking.
Don’t be shy cut some more
$3 billion budget! That's more than New Zealand spends and they have a navy, army and airforce. Maybe ask the NZ army to come over, I think the citizens would prefer them.
do about 10 times that
periodt
No way this dude has a job before summer ends
cut that shit by 1B MayorOfLA ericgarcetti
“Communities of color“ I hope all funds go to BLACK communities. Other POCs in LA (especially Hispanics) are racist towards Black people and kicking us out of our own neighborhoods ericgarcetti
Personally I don't want cops defunded, they're already defunded as it is, I don't think it's right to punish them by reallocating budget you've obvs decided you need. I just want policy reform & action. This is welcome but don't let it come at the cost of honest policing.
NickJFuentes The absolute state of California. Can you imagine it in 20 years?
So blacks cause literal mayhem, whilst law enforcement are told to stand by and watch as their cities and hard working Americans businesses burn. The reward: Less money for Police, More money for blacks. Makes sense! 🤡
NickJFuentes *SAN ANDREAS
LA getting fcked
Moreeeeee
$22 trillion over 40 years has already been dumped into these communities and changed nothing because the chosen black leaders have used it to get rich themselves and screw over their own people. This is facts testified to by former black leaders and officials.
NickJFuentes Hope he enjoys having all the cops quit
FUCKOFF.
OH FUCK THAT POCKET CHANGE. DO BETTER.
This is simply NOT enough! What the hell does the LAPD need that much money for? Fuck.
meeshfitz here’s an example of defunding the police by lessening their budget like wendellholland mentioned last night. 🖤 I believe LA is the first city to respond to the call for action.
I know math here and their lol 😂 but damn can you imagine of each state did that how much our society and communities can finally grow from basketball courts & playgrounds where kids can go outside to actually play and new roads and businesses grow change is coming ✊🏽✊🏿 much luv
Thats what their drive by shooter cops deserve
Next time when someone comes to your house, don’t call them!!!
Gotta make sure the pigs keep their expensive toys!
Good Lord!
GREAT job, Mr Mayor, but not good enough – cut it all so that criminals could run this town once and for all Dark Knight movie style.
zellah_rose
don’t be shy, put some more
AOC That's 5% of what they're giving the cops, The original budget was 3 billion to LAPD, AOC YOU THINK THAT'S GOOD!?!!!?
Pathetic.
RIP LA.
He's not putting that money into Black communities, he's talking about asians & latino communities. Those are the ppl of color & minorities. We're Black. If they don't say BLACK, their not referring to us., unless its about law enforcement, then they're talking about us.
Houston you’re going to have a problem.
Buy bitcoin and leave this crappy state!
LOL I hope they burn LA to the ground, you made your bed on you have to lay in it.
ericgarcetti
Now what about the other $2,850,000,000? Defund the LAPDHQ . It’s OUR city. Let US tell you what WE want done with OUR money.
It’s funny how they refer to “communities of color” idk something about that is disturbing, the sound of it , as if everyone in this plant isn’t of some type of color. Why are we even saying “color” in 2020? Why can’t it just be people? They should say they’re gonna send money to
PO💩!
Yeah that'll fix racism.
That's cute people actually think that money is going into those communities. How's that been working out the past 40 years?
Three the fuck billion
don’t be shy open your purse and cut 50% of LAPD funding :) y’all can survive ericgarcetti LAPDChiefMoore
good start, but not enough
This, ladies and gentleman, is what you call ”DOING THE BARE MINIMUM“
cutting 150 million from 3 billion is nothing. needs to cut 2.9 billion.
PhillyMayor take notes!
This reminds me of when my niece was going through chemo: I felt bad (not really, I was more guilted) so I gave her three of my hairs.
The numbers are inverted!!! $100 million should be the total budget and that's because I am feeling generous today!!! What does the murderous LAPD need billions for To terrorize Black and Brown communities or women? No thanks MayorOfLA !!!
Please sign this. Vanessa Guillen is an american soldier who vanished in Fort Hood. She was being sexually harassed by her sergeant and now she's gone. Something really bad is happening. It takes seconds to sign, please for her sake. FindVanessaGuillen
Damn feel like running for mayor. They don't listen to the people at all.
Ok they can all go home now🙄
He went from respectable to a zero in just a few days
Thank you MayorOfLA, but do more.
Cut more
AOC As a blackman I am saddened by the treatment of law enforcement towards minorities.But cutting their funding isnt the answer we need the police. They need more training on community relations. Not less of them
15% of a billion... when LAPD is funded 3 billion..? mkay
Not enough!!
AOC Great! Only $2.95 Billion more cuts to go! DefundLAPD
AOC Garcetti is one dumb SOB!
Not enough.
AOC “That’ll get em off our backs!”
I got so excited until I realized LAPD funding is 2.9 billion $$$
Hasn't happened yet.
Ok we know how greening works though. We want to know that as this “reinvestment” occurs, rates aren’t skyrocketing. Tired of being kicked out of our neighborhood. Garcetti is evil, keep your eye on him LA.
After yesterday’s BRUTAL takedown of the police chief More and the commission, I don’t think he was left with much of a choice.
AOC Keep fighting!
What about LAUSD
AOC
AOC It’s ok your aprs will still reach the roof despite these investments
AOC I’m confused. What are we trying to accomplish here? A complete abolishment of the police department So no police in general? If so, then what’s the plan for public safety 🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Is that real ? LAPDHQ Did it happen in that state ? I wood just walk .. Ok later good luck ...
MayorOfLA this is NOT ENOUGH. This is an attempt to placate and silence without committing to or making systemic change. We demand a PeoplesBudgetLA. Your employers have spoken. Do your job or get fired come voting season. DefundThePolice BlackLivesMatter EndPoliceBrutality

Drop in the bucket from 2 billion dollars. DefundPolice

AOC Why don’t you remove all police force in LA? Just let it roll and see what happens?
He should resign. His police are terrorizing the peaceful protestors. He should take de Blasio with him. NYPD is one video committed acts that violate the every human rights convention and the constitution.
defund them. they don't deserve a dollar of the taxpayers money, let alone 3 BILLION

AOC What happened to the body cams. Just think of all the bad cops that would have been weeded out by now. 150milllion. That ain’t shit. You move money from one pocket to another. Wake up mayor.
AOC And this part, the politically pandering out of fear part, is when it gets really good in “Atlas Shrugged.”
ByYourLogic not enough

This is a start!! Do more! Keep going. Can’t be a one time thing. Needs to be a fundamental change in governance.
Good now he needs to resign
this is only 5% of their entire budget...
150 million to 3 billion ratio seems a lil off

Victory of THE PEOPLE
AOC just wait and see the outcome..
AOC BRAVOOOOO!!!!!! BRAVISIMOOOO!!!!!
AOC Great. So when you need the police, and they don’t respond due to lack of equipment or resources, make sure to call your “community leaders” instead. Maybe they can save your life. Or not. Identity politics at its worst. Just ignorant.
AOC Thank you!!! Mayors throughout US should follow your lead! Books not bombs.
AOC What for, give more to illegal aliens?
Don't get fooled people. The LAPD's budget for 2019 was almost 1.2 BILLION. So by my math, they got their budget cut by a whopping... ten percent. It's not enough, it's not nearly enough.
More, that's only 5%
People asking how universal health care or other changes/organizatione are possible. THROUGH THIS!!! By redistributing your tax dollars into programs that will actually help you. The government is suppose to serve the public, not the other way around.
AOC Money =/= systemic change. This is a slap on the wrist. we need a lasting solution
AOC Interesting....

This is how you do it tedwheeler
AOC This LITERALLY DOES NOTHING.... this is what democrats think will solve their problems
Oh let me tell you guys. So my friend was leading a protest against Garcetti to gain funds for the homeless. He wanted 3000 people off the streets from skid row. Garcetti called him & had a meeting with him to call off the protest but never housed those people as he promised.
should have went with a bigger ask.
Should be more but it’s a start in the right direction!
AOC Not only that the very weak mayor took both knees to protesters and begged for forgiveness and promised to “Defund” the police and said he was on the side of the looters.
AOC don't be shy, put some more
Not enough
AOC Some math perspective $150,000,000 out of $3,000,000,000 Amounts to 5%. He cut 5% of the police allocated funds. NotEnough CutLAPDfunds JusticeForGeorgeFloyd JusticeForAllBlackLives
I get to watch LA destroy itself in UHD? I’m in.
Good start, keep going. That's no where near enough.
AOC This is kinda offensive to be real. Lol
AOC That's just 5% of the 3 billion dollars in funds to the lapd. This is not enough. DEFUND lapd.
AOC I'm pretty sure that's just the donut fund.
AOC $3 billion to the police? Build more public housing to put the homeless in. I know LA is a big city, but why such a high police budget?
AOC sliccardo
proves there's always been corruption in the US. rotting from inside with those crime rates- and it's always bandages to the wounds, not deep care
Thats not enough. We will pry it from your collective hands.
AOC About time.
thebonnierotten And still no no relief for the growing homeless population?
EricEztli This is great news but at this point fuck garcetti! He needs to go!! 🖕🏻
AOC You need to cut MORE!
AOC That's one way to do it, until the political pendulum swings back. Reform needs to be permanent and to prevent the possibility of abuse from happening again.
AOC Now for the other 2.85-2.9 billion
AOC MORE
MayorOfLA That’s not good enough
ByYourLogic Triple that
hutchinson The Police should be in such a deficit that they’re forced to sell their hand me down GI Joe gear to make rent.
Cool, now double it
Anarchy is pretty ugly. It’s like what you have now only worse and constant.

don’t be shy cut some more
they’re cutting a whopping 5% of their BILLION dollar budget. they’re acting like they’re doing the most when they’re doing the bare minimum🙄🙄🙄
Not enough MayorOfLA This is a slap in the face. Do better. SMH
More
ByYourLogic their budget is over $3B. $150M is “f*ck off money”
Cut their current budget in half and we'll talk
🗣MORE!!!!!!!! What’s 150 million to 3 billion?!?! DO MORE!!!
Hopefully this doesnt lead to their Captains telling them this is the reason they didn't get raises so they'll be even more pissed off and hateful.
This the same Garcetti that closed the COVID testing centers as an act of collective punishment? I dunno I kind of doubt his commitment to justice somehow
ByYourLogic Clearly, the protests are working, they need to continue.
BTW this is only a 8% reduction of the $1.8 BILLION LA county plans to use for police. So while this is great start, it should only be the beginning to demilitarization of the police
Go girl give us nothing!!!!!
We're really gonna have to keep shaking dimes out of his pocket like bullies in a high school sitcom until he actually makes substantial budget progress, huh? 😂
LoriLightfoot yo
keep going
Not enough
“Here’s a crumb”, they said.
ByYourLogic not enough
MerEaton Well I'm not sure pulling fund from law enforcement is the right move. the will need funding to find and remove the bad cops and test and hire new good ones. they will still need funding so they can chase down the real criminals.
OUT OF THREE BILLION FUCKING DOLLARS
what's the total budget bub
Cut more, this is literally just around 3% of the budget.
SAforFreedom Lmao about to turn back to the wild west.. progressive mayor's are destroying America
should be all of it but it's a start
wreckitbklyn If true, this is great.
that’s it? come on eric! MayorOfLA
Not nearly enough
It’s a start.
that's a start keep going
good start but ideally it should be like 700mil.. 100mil goes fast. very, very fast.
Not enough.
I'm a foreigner and probably dont understand but wouldnt it be better to redistribute the money to ensure that police are far better educated and trained. The rest goes to ensure that police unions are not so strong, and more power to organisations who can weed out the bad ones?
NOT ENOUGH!
Isn't the budget 3 BILLION dollars?
Don’t be shy put some more
That's not good enough.
JuTaylor8 What about the sheriffs who take double that!?
Police are nothing but worthless terrorists. The police give tickets to the people they think will pay. They harass poor people and beg the public for tips to avoid working. The homeless commit crime all day and have been running amok for years.
NOT ENOUGH. Police budget is THREE BILLION. With a B.
DONT BE SHY MayorOfLA CUT MORE OF THEIR BUDGET :))) CUT :) MORE :))))))))))
Hey MayorOfLA WAY too little. Do you see what is happening out here? The police need to be defunded and their budgets cut for gross incompotence, agitation, and more. They giving you a cut or some $h1t!?! Wtf.
It’s less than 5% of their budget
DO BETTER! THE BUDGET IS 3 BILLION. THIS IS ONLY 5%!!!
Not enough MayorOfLA - make it 1.5 billion and resign. You’re not equipped to handle the responsibilities of your office.
Veteran4Trump Another Mayor No Leadership! No Commonsense! 🙄🤢💔😡

Bringing the LAPD budget from 3.14 billion to 3.04 billion. Incredible.
Give color Aborigines America land then go away
That is 8% MayorOfLA We the People demand DOLLARS, not pocket change
Excuse me, but 150 million from a 3 Billion dollar budget!? Cut their budgets further!
This is my favorite song! Turn it up!
“We need to move toward a guardian-based system,” said the mayor, “by developing long term relationships between our youth and police officers.” That’s creepy as fuck.
We’re gonna need a lot more than that cut from the budget
Don’t be shy, give some more
this is a drop in the bucket. not good enough.
Veteran4Trump And 85% of the money will never make it down to the street level.
5% don’t sit right with me
They are only cutting the proposed increases for this year. LAPD is still not getting defunded, they are still breaking even. This isn’t enough. CareNotCops
Where are they taking it from if the almost 3 billion dollar budget to the LAPD is still in tact? Education and healthcare?
I hope that they use their money correctly! I would hate the LAPD using budget cuts as an excuse or opportunity to decrease the appropriate training
What the fuck is this garbage? 5% of the budget? Eat my ass MayorOfLA, I demand better.
Keep cutting
More
Kris_Sacrebleu People running a protection racket intend to get paid. It will require eliminating the police union and replacing it with a government run mechanism. Honor needs to reclaim it's place. Or it will get worse. Ask Minneapolis.
MrJonCryer he needs to get rid of his police chief.
RESIGN GARCETTI!!!!!
Damned if he do and damned if he don't. Y'all are never satisfied.
How about more MayorOfLA
They can fix so much in LA with that money. Even with the budget cut the police with still have well over a billion dollars and to do what? What does the money go towards?
MayorOfLA how about u eliminate ur PD standards and practices department and reinvent the police training program to cater to THE PEOPLE instead of creating a presence of intimidation and bullying. Just sayin.....
MayorOfLA boy, are you dizzy? Is this what we asked you to do Did we not say defund not “decrease the funds?” By barely 3-5% too? And I bet Chief Moore still has a job. Just go ahead a resign for us you’ve done enough, which is nothing at all. This is the end of your career
Fire the white supremacists
Don't be shy, take out some more
one department gets all this?!
How about 3 billion, seems about right
Also please sign and share this petition that calls for the resignation of disgraced MayorOfLA as he CONTINUES to let down the city
cut more of their budget MayorOfLA .. that’s still over a billion dollars going to them which is unneeded
Wooow thank you now they’ll only have 2.8 billion how will they ever survive
rosegawd bullying works lol
Annual LAPD budget is 1.67bil thanks for the generous— wait
3 billion to police and we have the largest homeless population...
cool, now just cut around $1 billion more
hutchinson 100 mil? Go on, put some more
That's like one ladle of bathtub water.
Didn’t ya’ll just give them 3 billion dollars?
Take away their military gear! They don’t need it here.
Sure this works out well
Veteran4Trump Good. Democrats have been trying to kill LA and all of Calif. for years now. Might as well finish it off. That's one hell of a slush fund. Why do I think not much of it will make it to the communities? I'm sure the ppl will be thrilled to live with the law of the jungle.
When they don’t do anything y’all complain, when they do something, it’s too little. Geez, it’s a start at least. Rome was not built in a day they say. 🤷🏿
Out of 3 billion? ......
Want a cookie? MayorOfLA The total LAPD budget is over 3 billion.....
MayorMemphis You need to be making this move as well. Black communities in Memphis need to be invested in.
Open your purse.
Not enough, Eric.
More still has to be done but it's a start.
MayorOfLA nickels and dimes?!?
To all my protestors KEEP APPLYING PRESSURE ✊🏾✊🏾👑
The hypocrisy and subterfuge to make this appear true while doing nothing will be hilarious.
Wouldn’t an equally good use of those funds to develop better training for their personnel to lear de-escalation, anger management, and communication?
joyfuljukebox Lovely, but y'all can go way more than that and you damn well know it.
Hahaaa. Good Luck!!!
MykeCole Hey man, while you’re at it how’s about taking away all the military gear too. They look like idiots armed in that stuff. They ain’t gladiators.
Do Moore next.
Lol
What will happen is, the community will suffer and they will then change their minds.
kaypeaux
Not enough MayorOfLA. Listen to the people. Cops aren’t essential.
What a positive step forward.
Very dumb... good luck fending for yourselves. LiberalismIsAMentalDisease
