After they been defunded and got all the public flogging in 2020? Good luck defending yourself now, we are on our own.
- wpurvis1 5y agoWhen was the NYC police department defunded?
- xqyf 5y agoThey were never defunded. de Blasio’s executive budget proposal has NYPD funding at $5.13 billion for the 2022 fiscal year, ~$230 million more than the budget adopted last year for this fiscal year. You're accidentally arguing that providing more funding to a multi-billion dollar government union ("fiscal conservatism") doesn't reduce crime. Maybe take a deep breath before you regurgitate your comment the next time.
- credit_guy 5y agoJust so we are clear: the defunding was massive, and it happened in 2021. Here's [1] the latest budget report for NYPD. Please check page 1: - Actual spendings for 2019: $5.98 BN, for 2020: $6.09 BN - Plan for 2021: $5.35 BN, for 2022: $5.42 BN The actual quote from the report, a few lines below the main chart: "The budget for the current fiscal year is $5.35 billion – the lowest figure since Fiscal 2016, a result of reforms aimed to lower City spending on policing".
