  It’s on him & the mayor: Many of us also wish both wouldn’t authorize having so many cops & using so much ordinance against overwhelmingly nonviolent protesters. That said, is he suggesting unexpended $ in the PPB budget can be redirected for grants to community NPOs, etc?

  $206K per day for the brutality we’ve all witnessed & many have been injured as a result of. If true, it’s a colossally extravagant, wasteful expenditure of taxpayer $ that buys only additional liability from lawsuit-related expenses & loss of public support for the bureau.

  Is he asking for reinvestment to non-police and non-sheriff purposes to directly benefit a lot more people's health? I am

  He seems to suggest that those funds would, could, or should be used for “reinvestment”?!
