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.

This is exactly what Mayor David Dinkins did in the 90s which resulted in the highest violent crime and murder rates in the history of the USA. Social services and youth programs don’t go too well when they’re ducking and weaving gun fire. https://t.co/i3cSEdiLbS

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.
ADVERTISEMENT“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.
ADVERTISEMENTSaturday 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.
