Re: Let the truth be known
Always read the fine print. Democrats are sneaky liars. DEFUND THE POLICE = boosts funding for "alternatives" - investments in housing, jobs, and the arts will grow over time, eventually leading to smaller police budgets.

Re: Let the truth be known
This proves that liberals will throw blacks under the bus because they refuse to criticize the democrat party.
Reiskin told the councilmembers that he believes their decision will cause the department to not be able to fully staff programs that have broad support and aren’t the intended target of budget adjustments. “It will not allow us to fill Ceasefire and investigations positions,” he said, referring to OPD’s gun violence program and homicide and robbery investigators. “We will not be able to fill those under this proposal, and as our numbers dwindle we will have fewer officers willing to work the amount of overtime needed just to work that gap.”
Fife disagreed and said she doesn’t think adding police officers to the department will improve public safety, and that the administration isn’t taking into account how new investments in alternatives could do jobs formerly done by the police. “A lot of the information we’re hearing today is misinformation and I feel like it’s deeply rooted in fear,” she said after Reiskin’s comments.
The council’s reductions to police spending free up about $18.5 million over the next two years, and combined with other revenue, this will be used to expand funding for the Department of Violence Prevention by 50%, from the approximately $35 million Schaaf proposed to $52 million over the next two years. The DVP, which was established in 2017, employs civilian violence interrupters and life coaches who work directly with people affected by gun violence, sexual exploitation, domestic violence, and other forms of trauma.
The MACRO pilot, a plan to use unarmed civilian employees within the fire department to respond to nonviolent 911 calls, also received a big boost under the council’s budget. Schaaf’s original proposal was to spend $2.6 million on MACRO, but the project will now get $6.2 million.
Boosting the budget of the Department of Violence Prevention was an idea endorsed by Oakland’s Reimagining Public Safety Task Force, as was the MACRO pilot program.

Re: Let the truth be known
The NAACP is the one that called out defunding of the police. I didn't report any of this. I simply posted what the NAACP said. I don't have time for games. Folks can make up their own mind.
Once again, read the fine print:
