AOC calls for police to be DEFUNDED to pay for homeless shelters
2021-12-25
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] In the tweet, Bill Bratton - who worked under outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio - showed several homeless people sleeping on a subway train

  • AOC joined many on the left in slamming Bratton for insensitivity to homeless people and pointing out how much of the city's budget the police takes up

  • The second-term Congresswoman has vigorously fought for the 'defund' movement

  • Ocasio-Cortez said in June 2020 she's 'actively engaged in advocacy' for a 'reduction of our NYPD budget and defunding a $6billion NYPD budget

  • AOC has also supported several other policy solutions for police reform, including an end to qualified immunity that shields officers from legal accountability

  • The NYPD's budget is set to rise again from $5.22billion to $5.43billion in 2022
