New York City Mayor DeBlasio caved to protesters and the defund the police movement, cutting 1 Billion dollars from the police budget. The protesters have shown their appreciation by costing the city even more, as they have vandalized over 300 police vehicles costing the city nearly 1 million dollars. And the protesters are still out there every day causing havoc. So I am sure that number will continue to rise.
“The department said Monday that 14 vehicles were a total loss because of fire damage, seven are still being repaired and the rest have returned to service,” the outlet reported. “Several people were arrested in the early days of the unrest for allegedly hurling Molotov cocktails at police vehicles in Brooklyn. Those cases are still pending in federal court.”
“In the latest incident, Saturday night in Manhattan, a man was seen on video using a protest sign to bash the window of a parked police van while another man sprayed graffiti onto an adjacent police van,” ABC News continued.
The NYPD says the total cost of repairing and replacing the damaged vehicles could be a million dollars — a hefty price tag considering that officials, including Mayor Bill de Blasio, are pressing for further cuts to the police department’s budget.”
DeBlasio has already buckled to these protesters numerous times now. He has put a ban on all large gatherings, except for BLM protests, he had the city paint “Black Lives Matter” on the street in front of Trump Tower right after he slashed the police budget. DeBlasio seems to be for the mayhem and worse he is openly against the police. No wonder officers are retiring at a record rate in New York, who would want to work in a city where the mayor is actively working against you, and people are protesting against you every day?
