Boston's mayor has declared racism in the city a"public health crisis" and moved to reallocate some of the police budget to public health initiatives.

"We're determined to accelerate our work towards systemic change. What I'm announcing today is the beginning.” He also announced reviews of the police department's use of force guidelines and other policies which he said disproportionately affected residents of colour. Organisers of some of the protests that have taken place in Boston say the city's action is too little and the reallocation of funds is a “pittance”.

Another city with long term Democratic Party ‘leadership’ that has failed miserably to control issues, now using further division as a political tactic.

Oh no!! Spreading some of that socialism about that they are so scared of.. Thar gon be devils in the sky!! Mountains will crumble!! Rivers will dry!! Fish will rain from the heavens!! Bears will open record stores!! Oh lord save us!!

These states succumbing so easily to a small minority mob wanting the abolition of police is just mind blowing. Where is the leadership these states so desperately need? Where is the backbone & conviction of the leaders? Truly frightening times.

Pandering to a noisy, rebellious mob is the Public Health Hazard. Reagan & Thatcher would have put them back in their boxes.

Until crime goes back up and prove everybody wrong

Amidst the peak of China’s coronavirus. HK Government geared up HK Police with PPE & pay rise, whilst health care workers PPEs were rationed, PPE safety requirement downgraded.

Hope the city becomes crime free, otherwise any citizens in need of a 'horrible' cop is in trouble.
