De Blasio: NYC to cut NYPD funding, shift it to social services

De Blasio did not reveal how much funding he aimed to divert from the annual NYPD budget. The New York Times noted that the NYPD budget was $6 billion and accounted for 6 percent of the proposed 2021 NYC fiscal budget.
He did say that the details of any budget reallocation would be worked out ahead of the July 1 budget deadline.
“We’re committed to seeing a shift of funding to youth services, to social services, that will happen literally in the course of the next three weeks, but I’m not going to go into detail because it is subject to negotiation and we want to figure out what makes sense,” de Blasio said.
Other measures included shifting smaller responsibilities, such as street vendor enforcement, away from the NYPD and hiring “community ambassadors” to connect police departments and local communities.

NYC can kiss their tourism goodbye. If people do not feel safe, they are not going to go there.

Google NYC in the 1970s.
That will be an optimistic case.

That’s one way to skip out on pensions.

I guess he’s not satisfied with the current rate of population loss. What’s even more weird is, NY is not losing its worst, but its best.
Forward, comrade.
