Woke West Hollywood Votes To Defund Police Despite 137% Surge In Crime

West Hollywood’s city council voted to defund their sheriff’s department even though crime has jumped by an estimated 137% in the liberal city.

The narrowly passed vote, 3-2, will reduce the department’s officers from 60 to 56 in the coming year.

The reallocated fund will be used to pay for unarmed “security ambassadors” under a scheme called Block By Block, and to help fund a Russian art festival.
