City council members (not me) say more security needed at West Indian Parade/Jouvert, due to recurring violence(wnyc.org/story/council-…)
Same members vote to cut the funding specifically for police OT at these events 3 years later.
1/3
This event is the first of the fiscal year, the largest OT annual expense, and the statistically most violent. I suggest it shouldn’t happen because of the cuts (that I voted AGAINST, they voted FOR)
= Borelli is the bad guy for raining on the parade.
🙄
Meanwhile, if the events move forward. They will need 3,400 cops. (Again, they requested this presence in past)
This means that either:
1 resources r pulled from other pcts all weekend
2 the OT will be funded, reversing the cuts, proving the #Defund was all BS to begin with.
