Yep. All the more reason why this is second term stuff. There are structural reforms we can do to weaken the power of the police, like setting up professionalized independent investigative bodies instead of relying on so called "detectives" that we also need to do.

We have barely touched the damn thing!

Defunding nypd strikes me as a second term priority not a first term priority. You need far more power to really go after them. Better to freeze cop hiring, build up the community safety office, and after a strong reelection *then* take a kukri to the cops.

They hate her! Why not let her stick around while you make sure the admin is running smoothly and you have a few wins on the board? If the pigs murder someone you say "oh wow, what a beytayal by this evil billionaire. Shes fired!"

I don't think keeping in a nepobaby who is hated by rank and file cops and has negative charisma is that bad. Let her do something bad and then execute the bad boyar. We gotta slow play the cops and a big part is just attrition and no new hiring.

hell yeah! I like how we're just manifesting this into existence now

sent!

The Q is: how much of that trend persists if the ICE snatch squads keep going? I think at least some more goes

Yup, but don't think she has the juice for LI. Blakeman running is different, but this woman is a Great North polar bear who talks funny. She won't connect.

Criterion Channel has gobs of it!

Throws a sub to distract gestapo from raiding a gay bar? Yeah I will elect that guy to just about anything.
