| Subject: Idiots in Government: Philadelphia police budget cuts sought by 4 councilmembers during week of leftist riots, looting Sun Nov 01, 2020 1:14 am | |
| The same group had pushed for significant cuts in June but were unsuccessful, a report said Four first-term City Council members in Philadelphia vowed Friday to continue pushing for cuts to the city police department’s budget – during a week that saw more than 200 stores looted in reaction to the Monday police-shooting death of Walter Wallace Jr.
The four councilmembers – Kendra Brooks, Jamie Gauthier, Katherine Gilmore Richardson and Isaiah Thomas – pledged their support for police cuts and other changes during an online call with local political activists, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
The same group had pushed for significant cuts in June but were unsuccessful, the newspaper reported.
“Every councilmember on this call was on board for a higher level of cut to the police than we had,” Gauthier told call participants Friday, according to the report. “We couldn’t get enough to get the votes that we needed. … I think we have to figure out where we’re cutting from and also what we’re investing in. I think we have to be very clear about that.”
