Los Angeles is cutting $100-$150M from LAPD budget to be reinvested in black communities

[CashmoneyHotBoy]

Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Wednesday that the City of Los Angeles would cut up to $150 million from the LAPD and “reinvest” the funds in the local black communities!

As he began to speak about reforming the LAPD during his Wednesday evening press conference, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti called this an “urgent moment” for the city, “an inflection point.”

He said he is “committed to making this moment not just a moment.”

Garcetti said he would be making commitments to creating racial equality. “It is time to move our rhetoric towards action to end racism in our city.”

He said the city must move beyond police reforms of the past. “Prejudice can never be part of police work…It takes bravery to save lives, too.”

“We will not be increasing out police budget,” said the mayor. That allocation is pegged at $1.8 billion in the mayor’s previously proposed budget.

Thats whats up... take all their little toys that they play solider with

They not using it properly anyway

Next they have to start removing the military grade weapons given from the Pentagon. No local PD needs that kind of heavy weaponry for traffic stops and domestic housecalls. I think LA County sheriffs department is also a recipient of that shyt
