New York’s Democrat governor Andrew Cuomo just signed an executive order requiring police departments in the state to reform of lose funding.
“They [the police] have to address the use of force by police officers, crowd management, community policing, bias awareness, de-escalation, restorative justice, community-based outreach,” Cuomo said.
“They have to have a transparent citizen complaint disposition procedure, so if you make a complaint, it’s not just yelling out the window. You find out what happened to that complaint.”
“They should talk about appropriate equipment, what’s not appropriate equipment and any other issue that that community believes is relevant,” he added.
Watch the whole thing via CNN:
This is going to happen all across the country as the Democrats achieve their goal of emasculating the police and rendering them too demoralized to be effective.
Democrats care far more about the rights of criminals than they do ordinary law abiding citizens.
Maybe it’s because Democrats have far more in common with the criminals than they do the law abiding citizens.
As they say people get the government they deserve and New York is about to get it good and hard.
Partial transcript:
CUOMO: “This goes back to the ‘90s and the crime bills. Looking at the population explosion in our prisons, this was a long time coming, is and this is not about a press release that’s going to solve it.
The way we really solve this is we say to every police agency in this state I believe it should happen in the nation, sit down at the table with the local community, address these issues and get to the root of these issues, get a plan, pass that plan by your local government and if you don’t, you’re not going to get any additional state funds, period.
We’re not going to fund police agencies in this state that do not look at what — look at what has been happening, come to terms with it and reform themselves. We’re not going to be as a state government subsidizing improper police tactics. We’re not doing it. And this is how we’re going to do it.
I’m going to sign an Executive Order today.
We’ll require a local governments and police departments all across the state, about 500, to develop a plan that reinvents and modernizes police strategies and programs in their community.
They must formulate a plan.
They have to address the use of force by police officers, crowd management, community policing, bias awareness, de-escalation, restorative justice, community-based outreach.
They have to have a transparent citizen complaint disposition procedure, so if you make a complaint, it’s not just yelling out the window. You find out what happened to that complaint.
They should talk about appropriate equipment, what’s not appropriate equipment and any other issue that that community believes is relevant.
That discussion has to happen with participants in the room. The plan has on the enacted into local law. Every city, every county. It has to be done by April 1. If it’s not done by April 1 and not passed they’re not going to be eligible for state funding. Period. And look. It is simple.
This is something that has to be done anyway. Because what we know is certainly true is there is no trust between the community and the police. That’s what the protests have said.
There’s no trust. And if there is no trust the relationship doesn’t work.
If there’s no trust the police can’t effectively police. If there’s no trust the community is not going to allow the police to police. And there is no trust. Or there is a breach of the trust and that has to be restored and repaired.
And the only way to do it is to get in a room, get to the table, let everyone say their peace and let’s figure it out community by community all across this state. It will be statewide. No other state has done it.
But New York state will lead the way because New York is New York tough, smart, united, disciplined and loving.
