Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) and some of her progressive, anti-Police friends vehemently opposed an initiative in 2019 that would have placed 500 new transit Police officers in the New York Subway system.
This opposition has come under new scrutiny after the recent subway attack, and for good reason. At the time, AOC and friends claimed that minority communities would be unfairly targeted by the new officers:
"In our view desperately needed resources would be better invested in subway, bus, maintenance and service improvements,... We are urging the MTA to divest from this current model of criminalization."
Jon Levine, New York Post
Ironically, in the most tragic way, this letter along with defunding of New York's Police department means that fewer Law Enforcement Officers were on-hand to prevent the Subway mass shooting. Not to mention, the victims of the shooting were predominantly minorities. This flies in the face of AOC's sickening statement that minorities would be harmed if more transit Police had been hired.
With the recent crime waves in liberal cities and the horrific subway shooting "defund the Police" is a phrase rarely heard anymore except from radical. far-left politicians like AOC. Instead, cries are being heard around the country for more Police presence.
"How unfortunate that it took a violent crime wave, one that has victimized thousands of Americans of all races, including many children, and a violent attack that wounded subway riders of all races and ages, to bring many officials and politicians to their senses. It is time to stop viewing society’s ills through a flawed racial prism — and, especially, to end the mindless attacks on the men and women in blue."
Peter King, The Hill
What do you think, is this the turning point of the anti-Police movement? Where do we go from here? Let us know in the comments.
"...cries are being heard around the country for more Police presence," is only because polls are showing that Democrats will not fair well on this issue in voting this fall. After the election Democrats will go back to "Defund the Police" rhetoric, their true political position. Depend on it!
I blame all politicians defend the police AOC needs to be run out of town on the rail She is not good for this country And all the Defund police Arthur socialist just like she is socialist Communist I can remember back in the day Socialist Communist we're Hung Like the Rosenbergs
AOC AND THE OTHER SQUAD MEMBERS ARE A DISGRACE TO THIS NATION.THEY ALL SHOULD BE OUSTED ASAP. THESE SCUMBAGS ARE AGAINST OUR COUNTRY, EVERY TIME THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH THEY COMMIT TREASON.THEY SHOULD BE CENSORED EVERY TIME THEY OPEN THEIR LYING TRAPS. NO RESPECT FOR US OR THE CONGRESS JUST REAL LOW LIFE SWAMP RATS.
a.o.c. is a cum guzzling hose bag !
AOC pays thousands of dollars for PRIVATE security (oops Tax-payers pay$$$$.) as does her other socialistic ding bats. The "squad" should be exiled to a socialistic country....They don't want them either.
Agree let them go live with socialism for a few years and have to get a real job. Many of us know who the old fool is who funded these insane politicians. A degree from a big university and guess she did not learn much. These universities are infested with crazy liberals preaching socialism and most likely communism. Satan hard at work!
WHOS MONEY??? THE TAX PAYERS MONEY.THEY ARE ON THE DOLE. WE DEMAND THAT WE HAVE OUR POLICE DEPT BACK IN PLACE. IT IS NOT UP TO THESE COMMUNISTS TO MAKE ANY DECISION ABOUT OUR WELFARE OR THAT OF OUR CHILDREN.THE DEMOCRATS HAVE NO SPINE, THEY ARE JUST LIKE BIDEN, USELESS FOR THIS NATION.
Assaholio Oblivious Crackez and her "commie squad", can go deep throat, pork loins.
Now the ones who lost their love ones
SUE AOC and the demonRats party for the responsibility of those deaths!!!
This should have been avoided
BUT!!!!!
Yes the familys need to sue for a billion trillion and untill every dime is paid not a single demacrat can be put into any spot. This includes dog catchers. States, and counties. Then use the funds to help this country by paying off the national debt that the demacrats made then can keep the rest
What else would you expect from a female bartender!!!!!???????
Maybe a beer or JD & coke?
HER MOTH IS ALWAYS WIDE OPEN, HER EYES ARE SCARY, SHE LOOKS LIKE A COW TAKEN TO SLAUGHTER. GET RID OF THIS RED LIPSTICK, SHE LOOKS LIKE A REAL BAR ROOM FLOOZIE. GUESS CONGRESS LOVES THIS . BRAIN DEAD, COW, POOR IDIOT DOES NOT KNOW DAY FROM NIGHT.
AOC needs to be removed from Congress as well as any other activists that do not have the people in their districts safety at heart.
IT CANT SHUT IT MOUTH THE DICK IN HER MOUTH.CHECK THE SECTION OF NEW YORK CITY SHE CAME FROM THE PERVERT SIDE
Have there been street protests against the rise in crime? No, not in New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Seattle, etc.
Massive protests were held after the death of George Floyd. Nothing over the murders of thousands of his fellow citizens.
PEOPLE JUST IGNORE IT ALL, UNTIL IT HITS HOME. THIS IS THE DEMOCRATS FAULT, ALL THIS RIOTING, STEALING AND KILLING. WHERE ARE THE CITIZENS???? HIDING LIKE BIDEN???? HE WAS FOR ABOLISHING THE POLICE.. BUT JUST LOOK AT ALL THE PROTECTION HE GETS AND THE USELESS DEMOCRATS.THEY DO NOT NEED PROTECTION, LET THEM FIND OUT WHAT WOMEN AND CHILDREN ENDURE. THEY ARE NOT SPECIAL THESE DOUCHE BAGS...
You throw aoc out of office and use her salary to fund more police to protect the poor people!!
Great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you think the people who voted for AOC are going to continue to vote for this stupid, stupid women?
Whatever college she graduated from should give her money back. Did she get her degree from flatbacking the professors, because she didn't get it because she's smart.
Colleen--YES, they will.
OYEAH THEY WILL THEY ALL ARE GENDER AND PERVERTS ALL THE DEMONRATS VOTERS WILL YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK
AOC doesn't give a damn about crime in NY. She has plenty of protection, that US taxpayers provide. She needs to go back to being a bar maid. They'll probably re elect her though. If the PA03 stripper gets elected, she and aoc will be best of friends.
Police don't "TARGET" minorities, they target trouble makers. If this happens to be minorities, why should they not be arrested, and why would you chastise police officers for doing their job? The TAX PAYING citizens deserve protection from these criminals and when they resort to self help they are prosecuted for endangering these hoods well being when these hoods wouldn't think twice about bashing someone's head in. Tax payers deserve protection! AOC doesn't care about tax payers, just votes and she doesn't care where these votes come from. If you are a thug and some law maker wants to eliminate law enforcement, who are you going to vote for? Hmmm.
The police are the only reason that any of the liberal dem bloodsucking parasitical ticks are still alive. Go a head defend all the police in NYC
Dangerous politicians who have anti- safe thoughts and speak out for wanting to do laws that don't benefit and eventually hurt their constituents should resent those thoughts and laws for their people and make it known they were wrong and start turning it around or resign because they don't have love for people. Learn to love and care for the people who put you in power AOC. I'm Puerto-rican and sad to say your are a embarrassment to your race.
Go to Church and learn about God and what HE want.
AOC needs to ride the subways at night. She also should go back to work as a waitress at a sleazy bar.
I just hope AOC and her other liberal idiots are happy at there defunding agenda and there no bail project. They have caused the escalating crime wave in New York. Furthermore other liberals like in Chicago and other major have caused the crime waves across the US and the targets on Law Enforcement Officers backs! People can say what they want but Obama and other liberals put targets on all of Law Enforcement Officers. I spent 25 years in a respected profession. I treated people the way I wanted to be treated but there were some that thought they could do what they wanted and they had to be handled. Times have changed and people have changed. It’s not the guns fault it’s the peoples fault and ever since Obama was elected it’s a politicians fault. All I have to say is every politician should have to do a minimum of 30 days of riding with a Law Enforcement Officer in there city, county or district to see what they go through. I promise you the mentality will be totally different. I know it works when a newly elected County Supervisor rode with me for 2 weekends. After that second weekend he could not believe what we went through day in and day out. Until this happens nothing will change!!
Then they should be charged with the crime ,also.
Why are you against us telling the truth?
AOC SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ELECTED INTO OFFICE....ALWAYS WITH HER HEAD UP HER A$$
When will these shooters target the actual ENEMIES in our stolen government. They’d be doing humanity a public service if they only shoot DOMESTIC TERRORISTS, WE KNOW WHO,THEY ARE. NO ONE HAS A NEED FOR ANY OF THEM.
AOC IS A TOTAL MORON. SHE IS AGAINST EVERYTHING DECENT. SHE DOES NOT CARE FOR NEW YORK CITIZENS, SHE JUST LIKE THE SQUAD ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN PRESTIGE. THEY ALL NEED TO GET KICKED OUT OF CONGRESS ASAP.THEY ARE TRAITORS TO THIS NATION.
ISNT OUT OF A BAR ON THE EASTSIDE WHAT SHOULD EXPECT FROM A LOWLIFE DUMNBITCH
Just waiting for the pale horse man to come and kill them all and take them straight to hell for ever and they can rule there.
No the situation will only get worse til commie Dems are jailed. They are paying lip service just to get re-elected. Don’t fall for their lies. Wake up & have some commonsense.
AOC after all is a firm backer of socialism/communism with, you guessed it Bernie the commie bum.
i really thought we were over the "defund police" crap. it clearly didn't work and we have been dealing with this major uptick of crime....what was once in a few 'blue' states' cities, now crime and criminals are interwoven into society; we don't charge reasonably high bailouts or no money at all; this affects every single one of us and if we cannot walk to the park or the store without fear for ones' own safety, what kind of life is this? this is not how we want to live or raise our children.
