Los Angeles to slash up to $150M from LAPD budget, reinvest into communities of color

In other words, money going to the Hexicans (Honduran by way of Mexico) the New Democrat voter pool.

Break the Thin Blue Line by making all payments for lawsuits against the police come out of pension funds and retirement.

That will force the “Good Cops” (who I am told actually exist, though they are rare by the evidence I’ve seen) to act against the Bad Cops in their midst.

Not all cops are bad. There's no need to wipe out the pension finds of the old people, just get rid of tort immunity- make every individual cop liable for tort damages, just like everybody else.

No, that's what it means. Developers want inner city land with low income housing to build condos and costly apartments that will sell and rent for top dollar being near downtown - only if entire sections are cleared out - and they want the local government to pay for it and use imminent domain to clear out the poor people. This is being done in nearly every Democratic run major urban area.

They are welcome to build new cities in more optimum locations to help house the Poor.

Why not cut spending on our useless and alleged war on drugs? There is no general war clause nor any common offense clause; it is just a waste of money. A war on communicable diseases promotes the general welfare better.

Any “Good Cop” who knowingly serves alongside bad cops and doesn’t do anything about it is not a “Good Cop”. Force the police to police their own or be destitute when they retire.

I'm all for cutting money to government agencies including the police. Police salaries and pensions are nearly obscene at this point. Not just cops, but firefighters, teachers, road maintenance---- all are overpaid on the back of taxpayers and businesses. Public employee unions are drowning state budgets and killing the savings of other working Americans including retired Americans.

But cut government spending and make government accountable. Don't just shuffle the money to other things and waste it someplace else. Typical liberal politicians calling to defund police agencies after THEY agreed to the very police union contracts they are not complaining about in exchange for police union votes. Hypocrites!!!!

And why only a plan for "communities of color" --- which we all know means Black communities right now. If you are an Asian, Latino, or a White business owner that was looted and burned out by rioters who were predominately Black, how would you feel knowing that it will be Black communities receiving this extortion money from the taxpayers?

I understand the Black community's anger over George Floyd----- BUT WE ARE ALL ANGRY over that killing. However, allowing race dividing hucksters and liberal politicians who have benefited for decades from creating the divide to extort the rest of us is insane.
