It is pretty clear that the purpose of defunding the police is to embolden criminals and harm law-abiding citizens.
Woman fatally shot in NYC after asking man to stop setting off fireworks
A Brooklyn woman is dead after she was shot confronting a man setting off illegal fireworks in Brooklyn.
Shatavia Walls, 33, who was peppered with gunfire July 7 after asking the man to stop setting off the explosives, died from her injuries Friday night at Brookdale Hospital, police sources said.
Walls was shot eight times at 1259 Loring Ave. in the Pink Houses around 8:30 p.m. Her companion, Kelvin Hernandez, was also struck, the sources said.
Setting off illegal fireworks is a “nonviolent act,” Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams said last month, urging residents to “go talk to the young people or the people on your block who are using fireworks” instead of calling 911 or 311.
We are told that calling the police on black people is tantamount to murder because the police will come and kill them.
We are told that we should avoid calling the police on non-violent criminals.
This woman did what the Left told her to. The man she told to stop shooting off fireworks got a gun and shot her eight times.
The Left doesn’t care about that woman’s life. She was a law-abiding citizen killed by a criminal.
The Left only wants to protect criminals, not law-abiding citizens. They want the law-abiding to cower in their homes, afraid to go out, not willing to call the police, and terrified to stand up to those terrorizing their community.
This woman obeyed the Left and paid for it with her life.
Great example of a criminal. No matter what color. Whats even more dumbfounding is there are people who agree with these liberals. If you cant see whats wrong with this then you ARE brainwashed
So we have an armed murderer on the streets of New York, who can’t be forcibly restrained while being arrested, and if somehow arrested will be released without bail. Between DeBlasio and Cuomo NYC is turning into (or has already become) a cesspool of insanity. Yet the people of NYC will continue to elect socialists to office, and then wonder how things got out of hand.
And then blame anyone but themselves.
Not just the left. I’ve long advocated that folks handle issues with neighbors directly at first before resorting to calling the cops.
She is not the first. She will not be the last.
The Left does not care about the individual. To them, the loss of her life is no worse than trimming your toenails.
