That bitch is crazy. She knows cops are paid right? You have to pay People to take on one of the most thankless jobs in America.

That's the point. They don't want them to get paid - They don't want cops at all. They want crime and anarchy so they can take control of the govt.

She's an agent of chaos. Blame the idiots that support her.

Her job is to give Grug-tier Republicans a target to scream about so they don't have time realize who really controls D.C. She is good at it.

Your absolutly right. The left verse right controversy is just like a magician saying look at my right hand while they pull a bird out of there ass with the left. I dont know if it was planned to be this way or not but it sure is funny when they pretend to be polarized and then come together to suport the freedom/patriot act and give our tax money to big buisnesses and keep mexican kids in more or less concentration camps. They say watch my right hand. Lets all argue about wheather or not to impeach trump and muller reports for four years. trump and aoc gotta be the best political lightning rods dc could ask for.

I agree with her, a big part of the deal is just reallocating money.

"Shifting school safety and school crossing guards out of the NYPD's purview together account for $483 million in the $1 billion deal."

You can disagree with the assertion that the police force is bloated, whether the police help maintain the peace or make things worse, but she's right to call out the city for saying one thing and doing another.

I don't know how someone can say police make things worse, shootings in NYC and other cities have skyrocketed.

I don't know how someone can say police make things worse. Without police, shootings in NYC and other cities have skyrocketed. I hope people like her get what they want, they want to see America burn.

Without the police at schools, school shootings will happen more often. Then democrats want gun control, its an endless cycle.

She's sort of right to be pissed, I doubt simply cutting the budget or moving it elsewhere will result in the kind of reform the protestors want. If anything it will probably result in increased stress and tension for the officers, not good for their relations with the public.

From separate sources I've gathered that more than $5B of the $6B NYPD budget goes directly to the payroll, and de Blasio said something about "improving overtime" so we will almost definitely be seeing less officers on the streets.

As much as we want to tie the department cuts to the protests, they are probably necessary because of the economy.

She really needs to go topless.
