At a time when crime rates are rising significantly in New York City, two progressive Democrat candidates in the city's upcoming mayoral race are promising to cut police funding if elected. Maya Wiley, a former top counsel to outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio, wants to cut $ 1 billion from the NYPD and reduce the force by at least 2,000 officers. Candidate Dianne Morales proposes taking $3 billion from the police budget and closing Rikers Island, the nation's second largest jail system. There are eight other candidates in the race led by Eric Adams and Andrew Wang who say they are against defunding the police.

It's a shame we have few people who really want to serve the people of this nation. Few are honest, patriotic, and want best for everyone. Politicians are out for themselves in all political parties. Ok we have Trump haters, but he isn't politician only a business man, regardless he did a lot of positive changes and we say things like it's for us, the people. It may not be Trump in 2024, but who ever runs for all the offices, now know what the majority of people want and running on a campaign similar would make winners.
ReplyDeleteThe people who think defending the police think this is the answer then put all those folks in one state, take, police, fire, and emergency services away from them, see how that works. Why should the rest if us suffer because of their ignorance.
