As the defunding vote in NY approaches...
"First dispirit them - then tell them they are doing a bad job - and then what you do is .. with the Occupy movement that you asked to go there - across the street from City Hall - tell them you are cutting a billion dollars out of the budget - and oh yeah - instead of saying we are in austere times, in the middle of the corona virus - and we have to cut the budget and it npains me to do so - I am taking it and putting it toward generic youth programs. There is a Police Athletic League already, but I dont want to digress. Generic youth programs. Are they dramatically underfunded? Is this addressing something - or is this an idea or an ideal that you are implementing now - which puts the NY citizen on the sideline?
Now - let me tell you what (DeBlazio) is doing. He is cutting one thousand one hundred and sixty three police officers from the next academy class that is coming in. So imagine this - even though all this stuff is going on NEGATIVE with the NYPD, they've got this great history that says "I'm gonna go in there anyway" - and for forty thousand dollars...when you take out taxes you take about twenty three thousand dollars home - you commute to the most expensive city in the country - you won't wear your uniform because you are afraid of being targeted = and you will go and you will TRAIN and you will DIRECT TRAFFIC and you will try to rebuild this city ina very tense time. But then you get a call that you are NO LONGER going to be in the Academy. Because they are looking to save money
They are also diverting money from school safety, where the police department was handling it - andf putting it in the hands of the Department of Education. So now SCHOOL SAFETY GOES ON THE BACK BURNER. Schools can handle it themselves. UNBELIEVABLE series of events!
