Because I didn't see a link to it in the article, a brief explaining why the decision was made: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-identifies-new-york-city-portland-and-seattle-jurisdictions-permitting https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/department-justice-identifies... If you govern a people and willfully allow them to become endangered through, eg. defunding the police, permitting lawless zones throughout your jurisdiction, and so on, and the end result is innocent lives under your power are harmed or destroyed, then you should be held accountable.

Addendum: Minneapolis should also be considered, as their local government took similar actions which resulted in similar - predictable - results: https://hotair.com/archives/ed-morrissey/2020/09/16/minneapolis-city-council-asks-police-chief-police/ https://hotair.com/archives/ed-morrissey/2020/09/16/minneapo... And they ask "where are the police?" after defunding the police.

  The police have not been defunded in either Minneapolis or NYC. They have decided—while fully funded—to stop doing their jobs to punish the cities that tried to hold them accountable for their abuses.

    Correction: And they ask "where are the police?" after unanimously deciding to defund (rather, abolish) the police. So an entire police force must be abolished because of the alleged abuses of a few?
