The NYPD’s budget was nearly $6 billion in 2019.

Overtime spending for FY 2021 is budgeted at $519.6 million.

yeah - they need more cops - to save on the budget.

President Trump could make a major address to the nation regarding policing and the recent protests over the death of George Floyd in Minnesota, White House aides say, according to a new report by CNN.

Aides to the president have reportedly been discussing plans for a speech in recent days in response to widespread bipartisan backlash to the president's response so far, which has included a tweet that read "when the looting starts, the shooting starts," a phrase that earned criticism from many, including some GOP members of the Senate.

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson hinted as much during an interview with CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.

"I believe you're going to be hearing from the president this week on this topic in some detail. And I would ask you maybe to reserve judgment until after that time," he said.

At the same time, CNN reported that some Trump advisers think the president can double down on his "law and order" message, even though he came under criticism last week because of it.

These advisers argue that the reduction in violence since Trump's statement last Monday would allow him to argue his actions have been effective.

The White House did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill on CNN's reporting.


 "I believe you're going to be hearing from the president this week on this topic in some detail."---so, we will get what? 4 or 5 tweets quoting from "Lester Maddox's Big Book of Racial Harmony (with foreward by George Wallace)"?

Is anyone seriously going to consider Trump can speak and act in a unifying manner on this topic? Or any other topic, for that matter?

Trump orders withdrawal of federal troops from my city.


Bowser not only stood up to the bully, she dunked on him and put his ass on a poster.


nice


(actually they teamed up well)

You’re as delusional as Larry Brown when he said Trevor Ariza was delusional.

Trump doesn’t do teams.

She kicked his ass on worldwide television.

heh

Noted

Yet in this instance - an effective team.

Trump brought his lunch, Bowser ate it. You could call that teamwork if you are as naked as your emperor.

You are either playing dumb or actually dumb- but I won't spell out for you how the teaming up worked - though adversarially.

Maybe LB can clue you in.

"Simply bullying"?

 https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/501653-cuccinelli-says-outcome-would-have-been-the-same-if-george-floyd-were

Not so sure about that.

How many of Chauvin's 18 miscues were against minorities?

Gee, "miscues".

Such an interesting word to choose in this discussion.  Perhaps by making such a choice, you can adjust the picture of a rogue cop to one more suitable for you to accept?

How many do incidents of excessive force involving minorities do you require for your Who's a Racist? Rubric that I feel you're about to employ?

Interesting that you'd say it doesn't matter to me. How and why would you draw such a conclusion? Why would it not matter to me or to anyone what the POTUS would have to say in a speech such as the one proposed?

Trump is up 6 points with white voters 49% - 43%.



That's trouble.


Why DID Trump get 58% of the white vote in 2016, including 53% women?

Can you cite some positive quotes from the 2 speeches I mentioned?

Trump down to 31/47 (strong approve/approve) today on Rasmussen

Depends on which Rasmussen you look at, as previously posted.

Effective for exposing Trump as the lying, bigoted, dangerous ass he is and always has been?

Yes, yes they did.

It was team work like it’s teamwork when your mother changes your diaper. The smelly old man does all the crying, yelling, and flailing around while the woman does all the work, ejects the crap and cleans up the messy aftermath.
