    Taxpayers are paying $12 million to do the impossible: Make Breonna Taylor’s family whole. Taxpayers across the country invest billions *literally to pay for the fallout from police abuse, violence, murder.*https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/15/us/breonna-taylor-settlement-louisville.html …

        The $300 million to settle NYPD lawsuits over the last five years, for example, could instead fund proven non-police violence interruption programs and summer youth employment in every neighborhood in NYC for the next 5 years.pic.twitter.com/JaU3bSCqnL

        Need To Talk. Billboard in Times Square
        The billboard aims to engage the NYPD, New Yorkers, & country in an urgent conversation. About how we currently throw away billions into policing instead of interventions that actually work.

        The $327 million per year that NYC residents pay for police in schools with no impact on public safety, could instead fund full four-year scholarships for over 4000 students to attend NY state colleges.

        The $635 million NYC residents pay in just overtime for NYPD officers could instead house every single one of the 14,000 homeless families now living in NYC. And then pay a year’s worth of rent for 7,000 families out of work and at risk of eviction because of the pandemic.

        The billboard directs people to http://Need-To-Talk.com , a simple, yet powerful site that asks people to imagine a better way to prevent violence, support our youth, and remedy homelessness.

        So, we can put a dollar figure on how much the freedom to hate and harm POC is worth to the police and racist voters.

        Repeatedly paying out large settlements to shooting victims instead of investing in comprehensive police reform to own the libs

        This a start but the family won't have total closure until the cops who murdered her are locked away in prison.

        That probably won't happen. If they were sent to the wrong place, it isn't the fault of the officers if they were acting in good faith.

        Exactly. I wonder what it's about, if not the money. 🤔
