NYC Mayor de Blasio Defunds the Police

51

It’s madness.

It’s been done before, and it leads to high violent crime and murder rates.

Sign the petition to impeach the worst mayor in the United States, and that’s saying a lot.

NYC to shift funding from NYPD to youth and social services, de Blasio says

NEW YORK CITY — Mayor Bill de Blasio announced plans Sunday to shift funding from the NYPD to support youth and social services instead.

The mayor said the details would be worked out through the city budget process over the next three weeks.

“We are committed to shifting resources,” de Blasio said. “The investments in our youth are foundational.”

The mayor added that the defunding of the NYPD will be done in a way that does not compromise the safety of New Yorkers.

Defunding the NYPD and redirecting those resources to youth and community programs has been one of the demands of protesters.

When asked whether he would use some of the shifted resources to hire more attorneys for NYPD departmental trials against officers, de Blasio said it sounded like “a very good use of taxpayer dollars to make sure that the discipline is speedy and transparent.”

The announcement was one of several de Blasio made during a Sunday morning news conference focused on police reform and accountability.

The mayor also voiced support for a push by the state Legislature to reform Civil Rights Law 50-a, which shields police disciplinary records from public view.

The de Blasio administration also plans to move street vendor enforcement out of NYPD control and to bring more community voices into the higher levels of the police department.

Over the next 18 months, de Blasio said additional reforms will be recommended and announced by a racial equity panel that was convened amid the coronavirus crisis.

Saturday marked the 10th day of demonstrations against police brutality in New York City.

Protesters across the country have been calling for police reform and racial equality following the death of George Floyd while in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25.

“On JUNETEENTH, we will also be taking the day off to celebrate Emancipation.”
“There will be no police available in NYC or any burrough.”
“We will take the day off and be unable to answer any 911 calls.”
“Please do not kill, loot, riot, burn, … thank you”.

The Police are Not Required to Protect You or your property!………Thx to the F#@kinSCOTUS for that!

((However, Hired Private Security Guards are contracted to do just that and can shoot looters. Careful what you wish for leftists, I hope you get it!))

https://barneslawllp.com/blog/police-not-required-protect

In the 1989 landmark case of DeShaney v. Winnebago County Department of Social Services, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the failure by government workers to protect someone (even 4-year-old Joshua DeShaney) from physical violence or harm from another person (his father) did not breach any substantive constitutional duty.[3] In this case, Joshua’s mother sued the Winnebago County Department of Social Services, alleging it deprived Joshua of his “liberty interest in bodily integrity, in violation of his rights under the substantive component of the Fourteenth Amendment’s Due Process Clause, by failing to intervene to protect him against his father’s violence.”[4] While the Department took various steps to protect Joshua after receiving numerous complaints of the abuse, the Department took no actions to remove Joshua from his father’s custody.[5] Joshua became comatose and extremely retarded due to traumatic head injuries inflicted by his father who physically beat him over a long period of time.[6]

Nevertheless, the Court found that the government had no affirmative duty to protect any person, even a child, from harm by another person. “Nothing in the language of the Due Process Clause itself requires the State to protect the life, liberty, and property of its citizens against invasion by private actors,” stated Chief Justice Rehnquist for the majority, “even where such aid may be necessary to secure life, liberty, or property interests of which the government itself may not deprive the individual” without “due process of the law.”[7]

The DeShaney decision has been cited by many courts across the nation and reaffirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Namely—on June 27, 2005, in Castle Rock v. Gonzales, the U.S. Supreme Court again ruled that the police did not have a constitutional duty to protect a person from harm.[8] The decision overturned a federal appeals court ruling which permitted a lawsuit against the town of Castle Rock for the police’s failure to respond after Jessica Gonzales tried to get the police to arrest her estranged husband Simon Gonzales for kidnapping their three daughters (ages 7, 8, and 10) while they were playing outside, in violation of a court-issued protective order. [9] After Simon called to tell Jessica where they were at (in Denver at an amusement park), for hours she pleaded for the police to arrest Simon. [10] But, the police failed to act before Simon showed up at the police department and started shooting inside, and with the bodies of the 3 children in the trunk of his car.[11]

In her suit against the town, Jessica argued that the protective order stating “you shall arrest” or issue a warrant for arrest of a violator and that it gave her a “property interest” within the meaning of the 14th Amendment’s Due Process guarantees, which prohibits the deprivation of property without due process.[12] By framing their case as one of procedural Due Process and not of substance, Jessica and her lawyers had hoped to get around the 1989 DeShaney precedent. To no avail, the U.S. Supreme Court saw little difference between this case and the DeShaney case.[13] Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, stated that Ms. Gonzales did not have a “property interest” in enforcing the restraining order and that “such a right would not, of course, resemble any traditional conception of property.”[14] [15] The Court went on to reaffirm the DeShaney ruling that there is no affirmative right to aid by the government or the police found in the U.S. Constitution, and thus no legal recourse could be brought thereunder. [16] The “no duty to protect” rule remains unwavering and the law today.

My thought….NYPD should declare a “sick out” because of the corny virus. The sick out will be across all NYPD Departments. Self Quarantine for 14 days minimum. We will institute corny testing among our NYPD personnel. Even if negative the 14 day quarantine is still in effect. We are sorry that this is happening but the riots have exposed out personnel to a “serious and lethal virus”. We wish all boroughs good luck in these tragic times. No emergency services will be utilized by the NYPD. The FDNY will still function in its fire fighting and life saving role. However those services will be strained and if they come under “attack” they will withdraw and not risk their lives under any circumstances. They to have been exposed and therefore may suspend services till further notice. The “I am Mayor and you are not” office will answer any questions that the public may have. That should set Blotto and his minions into conniptions. I am serious about what I have written above. Let it burn and the famous song after it burns. Let it Be. No money, no resources. Let it Be. Escape from NY is almost prophetic.

One day of “Oh, I thought I had this plague” will be sufficient. Then there may be – hopefully – an awaking. But of course the very same police that the idiots want dismissed or defunded will be blamed for the high crime rate, the murder, the looting, the attacks, the home robbery, et cetera.

If one day doesn’t wake the fools up, well, screw them. Stay out a week.

One standard rational talking point we always hear applied to this lunatic chanting about “defunding the police” is that the people who would be hurt most are those in the poor ghetto, barrio, casbah-type hoods.
But honestly, that’s thinking something akin to fighting the last war. When they “defund the police” the hoards and multitudes are going to be free to take their obama-rides straight into Midtown Manhattan, Santa Monica, the Loop, Peachtree Street and anywhere else they know there will be smash-and-grab Black Friday sales every day of the week, including suburban neighborhoods and gated communities.
“Defunding the police” is the starting gun for our American version of the Hutus and the Tutsis.
Basket-cases like Mike Mullen, mumbling about our military is for fighting enemies… We have enemies, right here. They’re not citizens. They’re here by authority of Obama the God. They’re combat trained. If they are citizens, they’re insurgents. And just because they’re not rampaging over us on TV this weekend, doesn’t mean they’ve gone away or have had enough. They’re not being prosecuted by local authorities. The Feds will try, but there are tens of thousands of them, minimum. That is their vision of our future, an on-again, off-again joyous bloody pillaging and genocide.
They need the police to be gone.

What I don’t understand is why these various city police forces haven’t really protested the abuse from the politicians. Why not have a police protest or a blue flu? It seems to me that they just hope this will blow over and reason will be restored. Sometimes an object lesson is necessary.

Exactly what I have been saying. Everyone calls in sick for a day and watch what happens. Twenty-four hours and the idiots will see the destruction of their civilisation, the breakdown of society, and the levels of violence and robbery previously unheard of.

Then the anarchists and the politically dimwitted will see the need for police, especially when they are at the receiving end of the mayhem.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
Yes, I know. People will mock and ridicule these prophetic quotes as irrelevant today and even absurdly ridiculous. But, people have already resorted to this in the past. We will just have to wait and see I guess. Ezekiel 5:10 ”
Therefore in your midst parents will eat their children, and children will eat their parents. I will inflict punishment
on you and will scatter all your survivors to the winds.”
Deuteronomy 28 – 53 to 57.
Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the
siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and
daughters the LORD your God has given you.

Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no
compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving
children, and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children
that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering
your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities.

The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle
that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her
foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter

the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her
dire need she intends to eat them secretly because of the suffering your
enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.
