So are we defunding the police or are we actually worried about crime? Make up your mind.

If you don’t get a response from 911, will you get one from a panic button?  The problem stems from the prosecution/sentencing end, not the policing end.

Like Jamaal Bowman, people will set them off to create a distraction.

Hochul is a conservative dem who increased the police budget and the mayor of NYC is literally a cop. You're just tilting at windmills at this point.

I stand corrected. I remember seeing where Mayor Adams cut the police budget despite the increase in crime. I didn't think it was that long ago either.
