Elected officials and the Brooklyn district attorney have announced a new push to combat gun violence after the uptick in shootings this year across the city. Getting guns off the streets is the goal for local leaders, with the city seeing a spike in gun violence this year -- 51 homicides in September alone, according to police data....
Report makes clear that one major contributing problem is that the system to keep gun trafficking and violence down is the lack of usual court and district atty. resources due to coronavirus restrictions, and due to police being out sick. So these (Dem) politicians would not like to see ANY defunding, they would like to see things go back to the way they were when we had a much much lower gun crime rate pre-coronavirus. I doubt they are going to get what they need, not all because of the "BLM" movement, but because there's not going to be any money coming in to pay for previous level of policing.Heck, they'll probably lose some of their jobs, too.
