Harlem Black Residents Push Back Against Abolishing the Police

Legal Insurrection
“I would say it’s pretty good [the relationship between the community and the NYPD]. You know, all police officers are not bad. You know, you got some of them that really care about the people and really want to help the people.”





"The #DefundThePolice movement began after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Fuzzy noted on June 14 that mostly privileged leftists supported it, not blacks.

"Floyd’s brother and family even rejected the idea.
. . . 
"Horowitz then asked how they think black people in East Harlem feel about the police.
“Probably the same way I feel about them,” said the man who called officers “monsters.”
"You white liberals are in for a rude awakening.
"Then Horowitz went to East Harlem on Malcolm X Boulevard. He asked two people how they feel about the white people saying the black community would be better without police.
"I blogged BET founder Robert Johnson’s comments on people tearing down statues, even the Confederate ones, along with brands changing their marketing, canceling shows and movies, and firing professors.
"Johnson said “black people don’t give a damn” that these people toppled statues. They laugh at the celebrities who apologize for their white skin.
"He pointed out that none of this does anything for the actual worries of the black community: jobs, equality, opportunities to get off welfare and food stamps.
"But Johnson ended the interview with a dose of truth: “White Americans need to ask black Americans what they really want.”
"Communication. These white liberals assume what the black community want or need. Talk about being oppressive and racist. They decide what is offensive and what would be better for the community."
