The NYPD is super hush about letting cops do interviews or even publicly speak. They basically are not allowed to talk to anyone about anything.... I heard from some anonymous cops in New York that it is a cluster. They basically have to let the looting occur and just sit back and watch and have mandatory 12 hour shifts 7 days a week... Its not good. Glad I don’t live (or work for) NYC.... |

That's what everybody wants, to call the cops in an emergency and be told they can maybe send somebody next week because they are horribly understaffed. If you want that just move to a 3rd world craphole where the cops never come when you need them. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Soon to be Minneapolis. The city council actually has the votes to override a mayoral veto and defund the police department. Not cut back. Defund! A reporter asked what will happen if you call 911 to report an intruder, and her answer was something along the lines of "that's white privilege!" I'm guessing if you are a shop owner or home owner in Minneapolis you prefer having police keep your streets safe, as opposed to having BLM do it..... |

That describes Mexico. Terribly understaffed and they're all on the take. Unless you're 'somebody' good luck getting a cop to investigate your crime. If you make a report at the station, they'll take it and never look at it again. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

There will be law enforcement Either people pay the police with taxes or they pay for private security with the tax savings I would like to see the private security experiment so we have a comparison Right now police have no competition. No incentive to get better Now there is incentive to raise the bar or you lose tax dollars or you lose the business to another business Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

So in your world defunding the police means more and better law enforcement? Good grief.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Look at South Africa for the Private Security example. High crime. Private Security have more personell than police and military combined.... After apartheid the defense force was dissolved.... People want the same for America.... Not a good model. https://youtu.be/pKGzw8GROf0 |

He has me blocked. Ask him where he read they will cut taxes in the same amount. Then listen for crickets. The President is a fink. |

This is why I will never vote Democrat, ever. They think this kind of thing is normal. They go nuts. One of two things happens. Either the state steps in and forces a reversal, or the MN State Troopers move in and handle policing. Two towns over from me that happened when the city went broke. State stepped in but they only handled state law things. IOW, stolen car they answer the call. Local ordinance they did nothing. Maybe this wakes people up to what loons are getting elected in this kind of place. Though I doubt it. Is there a way to make money on the property values in the city crashing?
