to to Mayor Bill de Blasio on June 4, Comptroller Scott Stringer urged cutting $1.1 billion from the NYPD's budget over the next four years and to reinvest into the community as a result of $1.3 billion spent since 2014 as the consequences of alleged police misconduct.
Hazel Crampton-Hays, the press secretary for Stringer, said in a statement to ABC News that she agrees that"New York City must invest more in underserved communities most impacted by violence and structural racism." New York state lawmakers were successful on June 9 in repealing Section 50-A that prevented the release of a police officer's personnel records. Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the legislation on Friday.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump speaks during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on proposed changes to police practices and accountability on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, June 10, 2020, in Washington.
I'm in favor of the police. These criminals, delinquents, troublemakers do not deserve to be paid for their violent actions and for putting the police in danger. The police must have the right to defend themselves and neutralize those who commit violence.
God damn this looks like a mess
We need more social workers to manage crimes in progress. Talk to them...offer cookies and milk. It’s amazing what a little TLC can do during the most stressful times.
Settlements should not be paid by taxpayers but from the pensions of the officers involved.
Just look at CHAZ! What a success story! 🙄
Nancy's $25k fridge? Or her $200 / bottle vodkas?
I’ll never understand the sympathy for those who choose to fight the cops, instead of taking their day in court.
Now you are concerned with saving money? Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats want to spend $4 Trillion and receive nothing but praise from the media. However, the police (without whom the center would not hold) cost a few billion and you are concerned? Ok, whatever.
Cities run by Democrats. That’s the root of the problem.
Defund the lawyers.
police are not super heros look at the situation what would you do . there doing there job sometimes you have to use excessive force to control the situation if you dont understand that i feel sorry for you
Just another way of a One World Currency system them try to save more money people trying to police themselves good luck this all only decay worse
Still costing us because our laws are soft and protect criminals more then ever. People are sueing because they broke a finger nail while be arrested.
That money should be going toward programs, services, and organizations that support the communities they SERVE, instead of police who can't stop ending black lives without reason or consequence. BlackLivesMatter DefundThePolice demilitarizethepolice
So less than $1 per person?
it is called POLICE UNION REFORM!!! MY FUCKING GOD!
This now needs to come out of the union pension system. Or they'll never care how much taxpayer money they spend murdering people.
break the unions and break the union contracts and then take the settlements out of the police pension fund and then you will see accountability within the police force when your actions affect everyone you work with
BARBARA FEDIDA NEEDS TO GO!
I’m wondering how the people who want to get rid of the police and legal guns think they’ll protect themselves from criminals with illegal guns?
ABC NEWS IS FAKE NEWS! CHECK THE FACTS.
And how much would rampant crime and corruption cost society? Let's take a trip to the third world and find out....
Let's defund the media
All this defund the police is how they are going to usher in the robo cops
BREAKING :-The professor leading one of Oxford's COVID19 vaccine trials told LBC that the UK could be fully vaccinated by Christmas, if the vaccine is approved. coronavirusvaccine
These are the works of lib dems like sleepy Biden, fake CNN and Mr Muslim Obama. They promote terrirism like Antifa and BLM.. good job lib dems..
So they want to break the laws and get away with it! That’s their gold
Protest in Bedford Mich. but the opposition shows up with machine guns and swat/ national guard was there at some gun shop where the owner told a black woman he would shoot her and her black son.These recist ass Trumpet are going to far.
Democrats want to disarm the police, police will kneel to the mob and get shot
Humans were smart enough to go to the moon, but not smart enough to see what this stuff does to our society and how it hinders us and our forward progress and all of our success. Truth BlackLivesMatter
The problem is how do separate the good police officers from the bad ones
Good luck trying to get the money if the government has any money left
just would like to point out in all these areas... again democrat leadership is present.... why are bad cops allowed to continue to be bad cops... easy bad leadership. so now the good cops are going to suffer, because you want to defund them rather then deal with the source.
It’s ok, they have insurance.

Defund the police
Rayshard Brooks got exactly what he deserved! Race~Baiters = MSM portray decent Police officers 'Mug Shots' as if they were the criminal here...Disgraceful!
Look at that picture. What do you see? If you only see bad cops, you are part of the problem! The problem is society and their sense of entitlement. All they want is more. Police have to use force on some people.
I’m sure none are frivolous.
Mostly in Democrat run cities and states.
It's always someone else's fault...
There is hope here check this out
The Democratic Party
What the hell don't you people understand, you and your 'peaceful' protests are bullshit, your just waiting for something to happen so you can start rioting...Cops have a tough job these days, give them a break.
Sad...police are our defenders of criminals...dont label them all bad..
The same things went on during previous administrations and the media was relatively silent and didn't care.
Every year
If this true that's doesn't mean we get rid of the police it means we need correct the problems and get rid of NANCY Pelosi and some of the Democrats
KennethHowardC3 Really? Did you know 75% of arrested people file complaints against arresting officers? BECAUSE THEY GOT ARRESTED!! Did you know that 99.999999% of all people in prison are not guilty? So yes its possible everyone is telling the same lie!!
Pink Floyd sang' breathe breathe in the air' But George Floyd said 'I can't breathe' And I have a new song which was written by myself for all the American people! ~USA Needs A Revolution ~I Hope you guys are gonna like it~
police are not super heros look at the situation what would you do . there doing there job sometimes you have to use excessive force to control the situation if you dont understand that i feel sorry for you
What the Bible says about 'Racism'.
Saving people’s lives, arresting murderers, rapist and drug dealers. Keeping our communities safe , taking illegal guns off the streets . Thank you officers
So how come Trump can get away with criminal activity and these folks can’t go into the streets to protest the hatred Trump’s promoting? Am I still in the United States or did I suddenly wake up in Russia? WTF
Why would we be surprised that people will make claims of wrongdoings against police officers? After all 'they did nothing wrong'. 'Police just target people (after citizen's making 911 calls for help). Police often use excessive force (after resistance and violence is met). Smh
Feed those flames! I hope you receive just what you are wishing for.
Another reason why tort reform is needed! A “loser pays” system weeds out the frivolous lawsuits. Folks don’t realize that lawyers get paid out of $ won but defendants have to pay for lawyers to fight the lawsuit! If a plaintiff loses, they should have to pay defense costs!
ABC - WANTS A RACE WAR.
maybe the problem is deeper than the police. what if its root causes are failed democrat politicians and boomer parents? the police are not babysitters
$300M in tax dollars in 2019 alone for what constitutes as 'malpractice' - I sincerely hope that one of the reform ideas is to require the police officers to carry a malpractice liability insurance like the doctors do.
And yet still NO ONE bright enough to take control what does that tell ya
I there a shortcut on your keyboard for the expression 'mostly peaceful protests'? I hear that term a lot but all of the images do not appear 'mostly peaceful'.

No amount of settlements will restore what the abuse of power that has been allowed to be taken from so many families
And for years it has gone unaddressed as a systemic problem. It needs change now.
Mostly by criminals
Cops have the hardest jobs. Do you agree?
Sounds like accountability is working then.
Police Brutality must end Good cops should expose BAD cops
