“Invest” in the Black Community? Just how much profit will that “investment” make?

The concept of something for nothing is absolutely destroying the Black “Community”.

Do those riots look like community to you?

It looks like pampered brats throwing an adult level tantrum to me in the candy isle of Goldman Sacs.

The kind of reinvestment I could support is to give certain communities money to fund their own police force, then hold that force solely responsible for the crime in those communities.

Systemic Racism:

You can’t do it on your own

You Need special democrat programs to help you, because you can’t do it on your own

You need Democrats to Control and Manage your life, you can’t do it on your own

You can’t learn on your own, you need Democrat help.

you don’t need to engage in traditional nuclear family life and raise your children with BOTH parents. Democrats are here to be your Daddy.

You need Democrat help to achieve anything,you can’t do it on your own

Without Democrats you can NEVER make it on your own!!!

With illegals pouring in and drug addled bums taking dumps on the sidewalk, I’m sure this latest move will go well....

Why only $150m? Why not cut the entire budget and disband it completely?

However, if you re-direct that money to something nebulous like “community of color”, a lot of that money will disappear and never be accounted for.

I think many friends of City Council members will benefit from Mayor’s new project...They will get contracts to do something...

In the end, I am not sure about how much benefit people in the ghettos actually will receive from Mayor’s project...

Why stop there, defund the police, that’s the BLM plank.

I don’t think that Mayor Garcetti is as terrible as the Mayor of New York City...

I will give Mayor Garcetti credit for asking for National Guard...He did not want to...But, he changed his mind...

Mayor of New York City will not ask for National Guard...It will help NYPD...But, that Mayor is just too stubborn...

Society must deal with them, not government... especially not the General Government. The Federal government oversees the association between the several states, and should not involve itself as the arbiter of social ills.

I agree. Overall not as bad as my mayor. But that doesn’t justify his defunding the police.
I just pray; don’t know what to do.
