New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Monday he is committed to cutting funding to the New York Police Department as part of a wave of reform for the agency, but said the amount would be determined over the next three weeks during budget talks.
Mr. de Blasio declined to say how much money would be shifted away from the NYPD, but said it would be less than $1 billion, a figure that some elected officials see as a goal. The department has an annual budget of $5.6 billion.
He probably will place his wife in charge of the program who has already misused over a $500,000 in another social program failure which can’t be accounted for what could go wrong welcome to socialism NYC
Blasio is a communist. Take from everyone keep it and then blame everyone else. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica
katie_honan he's officially 'Mayor TBD'
If this was a movie plot and movie theaters were open, attendees would demand a refund. If no need for police, no need for jails? Judges? Politicians? Laws, Lawyers? ... No politicians or lawyers.. hmmm.
The crime rate will skyrocket, is that part of the plan?
Don't ever call for federal help if you do that stupid shot, my state taxes are for my state, my federal dollars go for nation wide interests, not to cover for a stupid decision made by idiots!
katie_honan What if Occupy Wall St. reignites this Summer.
He has to consult with his kids, who clearly determine all policy. The man is a jerk, and Im being kind
As if NYC could become an even bigger shithole.
If you are Fully Conscious, run and win political office. This is change required around the World in the present moment. If you are unconscious, keep your ass in your day job. The unconscious have caused all the problems the World has experienced. The unconscious are the problem
Hey De Blasio cut the pension funds from 130% for some down to 85% that would generate a ton of money.
Whatever for?
It will rain soon.
Awe, that's what Hitler did when he formed the' Nazi Brown Shirts' kind of like Antifa and god rid of public law enforcement then killed millions, destroyed their homes and stole their belongings. Its our duty to never let that happen again.
Teed this up and on the 37th anniversary of the Trading Places premiere to boot!
Defund the police! I have some “shopping” to do!
I’ll bet he doesn’t cut one cent from his own personal protection budget, only protection for citizens.
Should be a boon for human traffickers
Hes committed to walking through his front door but he hasnt found it yet....
Why not just let cops to wear a camera?
$3.23 when it comes to his security
Let’s cut it by adding $1 billion... that should do it.
Support the NYPD
But you don’t have to do that. Get rid of the ones with the most complaints.
Can someone fire him ?
We don’t know if he’s cutting 1 million or $1 billion
So stupid and I hope you all see who you voted ito office
Liberals are becoming unhinged. They are seriously mental.
Defund all police, people no need police. Police is bad . Always make small problems to biger problems to destryed business and people life.
Unicorns and rainbows 🙄
There's a GREAT idea.Listen this guy is so stupid that a HACK like the NY Gov wants to remove him as mayor.mayor and governor there's a pair that beats a full house
He should be committed to a mental institution but he shut those all down.
katie_honan How about we talk about this waste of $, The wife of Mayor Bill de Blasio already has a chief of staff, two deputy chiefs of staff, two schedulers and two communications staffers that cost taxpayers about $900,000.The extra aides add $1.3 million to the city payroll. NYC NYPD
Demonetize all cops in democratic cities
So the issue with evil cops exists only in Dem states. Ruled by Dem leaders. And what does this have to do with Trump? It doesn't. Cuz they never wanted to flatten the curve. They wanted to flatten the country.
50%
Dumb Decision
Aren’t we going a bit overboard with this. Sure I agree the Floyd situation was wrong as were many other incidents. We need change. We never see on news the good cops however. Only when a few are racist idiots. Who you going to call when there is an active shooter?
$20.00?
Live from NYC: “Escape from NY reality edition”....watch the mass exodus....
Maybe if they didn’t dummy down police exams over the years to make sure force was more inclusive
He is a fool.
Most decent, reasonable and law-abiding Americans wouldn't support this move, including democrats.
This guy is a joke.
I Know the intention... Just to say good bye the Police Body...
Who ya gonna call ghostbusters!!! Are you crazy!
katie_honan he better do a whole lot more than mull
Does that also mean there will be cuts to the Mayors personal protection team deBlasioIsAFool HideBehindYourWife Hypocrite
This appeals to like 7% of the population.
So just last month he was trying to scare the people of NYC by saying that unless the federal government gave NYC money, he was going to have to cut police. Now he says he will do that anyway.
$1 to save face with the losers pitching hissy-fits.
What if some of these politicians took a pay cut to help fund better training for police, after school programs, and a better education system?
This is stupidity at its finest.
We need to stop saying 'defund police' etc Why? It will lead to LOSSES in NOV It's NOT what moderates want (no police, no law & order) This is seen as extremest, will cost VOTES See related ABC poll: 52% Americans support deploying US military in streets
Time to finally get a gun...
Have 4 of the boroughs considered seceding from New York City and starting their own police force?
less funding makes police more easily corrupted. got to pay bills
This is part of De Blasio's effort to re-elect Trump. Dems are hilarious in their incompetence!
$3
Lmao prepare to be underwhelmed
