re: Los Angeles to slash up to $150M from LAPD budget, reinvest into communities of color

If they cut their budget, they really should stop patrolling these low income areas. Focus their efforts where most of their tax dollars come from.

Mo free shite for erryone

Look at the Zuckerberg 100million ( which was matched to equal 200 m ) for Newark schools ( honorable mayor cory booker) the following mayor (barka)
"
The money "didn't go to the city, and it didn't go to the school system either. It went to a foundation that made decisions about what the money should be spent on," he said at a Wall Street Journal conference on Wednesday. "You can't just cobble up a bunch of money and drop it in the middle of the street and say, 'This is going to fix everything.' You have to engage with communities that already exist ... To parachute folks in, it becomes problematic."
...."Much of the $200 million went toward buying out contracts of underperforming teachers, which also served as a cost-saving move, The New Yorker reported in 2014. Sixty million dollars was funneled into charters — schools that are privately run but publicly funded — and millions more went to $1,000-a-day consultants."

If I were the plice, I'd just never go into certain neighborhoods, for any reason. Shooting? Murders? Sorry. "Don't want to offend black people with my presence."

Then, of course, that would be racist.

This crap is getting quite funny.

Officers are gonna be flooding out of departments at an even higher rate than they already are.

“Why are officers patrolling to help our communities with crime?”
Well i wonder why

President trump to Newsome, Uh we are not gonna give you any relief money because?????????

Crime will definitely go down after this proposal!

the city will try and cut between $100 million to $150 million from its police budget alone.

Less money to hire, train, and equip COMPETENT and QUALIFIED police officers.

to invest more money into the black community, communities of color, women and “people who have been left behind."

The same communities that will be underserved by an underfunded, poorly trained, and short staffed police force. The cries of "Where are the police?" will echo through the streets.

---

the money will be distributed “now, not years from now.”

Let me guess, the NAACP will be tapped as a leading organization that will receive the lion's share of the money and be responsible for its management? Local mom and pop types who actually care about the communities they live in and serve will still struggle to stay afloat, leaving many to fold without the proper funds?


The law of unintended consequences is real, and it is magnified when coupled with knee jerk, placating actions brought about by weak willed politicians.

Remember when people were taught work ethic. What a bunch of entitled pussies we are creating these days. You want to eat, get the hell up and go to work. Stop robbing the taxpayer to live on the government dime!
