Too rich! De Blasio borrows the line "government, it's hard work" from Geo. W! He also says he's going to cut the NYPD budget now too (Today. because: it seems to be the popular thing to do Today!). Er, right, no kidding you are gonna hafta cut EVERY budget, every single one, including for all your wife's fun projects, the city is broken and broke and lots of taxpayers are heading for the exits:

More Trump lies and projections.

The federal government funds tbe Federal Bureau of Investigation, which Trump purged, and intends to use as an asset in his corrupt reelection disinformation campaign.

The federal government does not fund police, public schools, or local services. States, counties and cities do.

They can't print money like the federal government can, which is why the Democrats Bill provided billions in state aid for use in shortfalls in state budgets.

Cuomo also tweeted this clip from one of his own press conferences yesterday:

If a police officer is saying, unless I get to knock people to the ground and hit them with a baton for no reason, I don’t want to be a police officer — then don’t be a police officer. pic.twitter.com/GalTXyf5uN

I note it doesn't address any specific current incidents but just what would be abnormal from accepted and says "they have to do their jobs".

Cuomo:

NY should lead the way and pass the “Say Their Name” Reform Agenda:

1. Make police disciplinary records transparent
2. Ban chokeholds
3. Make false race-based 911 reports a hate crime
4. Attorney General must act as independent prosecutor for any police murder case pic.twitter.com/WDypKqeo3Q

and it is clear that he has ;long called for prosecution of cops to be handled by prosecutors that are not from the same jurisdiction, that he thinks that is the main problem with lack of accountabilty

It's pretty common knowledge that cops Are often dicks but do a dangerous, needed job. We will not weed out dicks - we need strictures and policies in pláče to make policing less dickish and more "neighborly" whole making it less dangerous (for police and the people theyre sworn to protect). Cops *Are* civilians. Militarizing the police Is an anti-democratic counterpoductive approach.

Yeah, was amazed at a blog

In reply to This thread I just ran across

Yeah, was amazed at a blog piece on The Root or similar that made it sound like White people invented this slave trade thing, which rather ignores the history of slavery except for a small slice of human history. And of course it's not just anti-black racism that we open up, but all the abused minorities of the world. Long time coming, but how far will we get this wave?
