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.

Hey if crime is up that much then the cops they have aren't doing all that much good to start with. Might as well save a little money, what the heck..? I wonder if there could be a Ukrainian art festival brewing in East Hollywood?

@Budwick Think about it from a 2nd amendment point of view. With fewer cops people will need to rely on their own resources. Cali citz might find their opinions changing in the near future...

@GerOttman Crime has been surging since Floyd died. 'Cali citz ' are already fallen behind.
