If you don\u2019t like cops, don\u2019t use them. \u2026 Crime is at an all time high and now you\u2019re going to give him 12 to 14 cops? You\u2019ve gotta give them vacation, sick time. All that for this guy, who nobody really knows. Would anyone know him if he was walking down the street?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lander\u2019s representative, Naomi Dann, told the Post, \u201cAs he steps into citywide office, Brad is grateful to the city workers who keep the Comptroller\u2019s office and City government running, including the officers assigned to his security by the NYPD. There\u2019s no contradiction between believing that some of our public safety dollars would be better spent on supportive housing, mental health services, and restorative justice programs \u2014 and following longstanding NYPD protocol regarding safety for elected officials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Considering public safety, Lander may need the security detail; The Post reported last April, \u201cLander has racked up eight school-zone speeding tickets since 2016, even though he\u2019s publicly&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2018\/06\/29\/speed-camera-advocates-arrested-while-protesting-outside-senators-office\/\">promoted speed cameras<\/a>&nbsp;outside city schools and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2018\/06\/05\/reckless-drivers-could-soon-have-cars-impounded\/\">pushed legislation<\/a>&nbsp;to crack down on reckless drivers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his response to people reaching out to him to urge the city council to defund the police in June 2020, Lander wrote:<\/p>\n<p><em>I am looking at proposals for further cuts and talking to my colleagues about what we can do on excessive overtime, and pulling back the NYPD\u2019s expansion into homeless outreach, mental health response, and other social services. I am glad that Communities United for Police Reform and so many of you are setting us a $1 billion goal to work towards. I will push us to go as far as we can in the next few weeks of budget negotiations, and I won\u2019t vote for a budget that does not include deep and significant cuts.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In the longer term, what we need is a fundamental re-thinking of the public infrastructure for achieving safety in our communities, as the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/06\/07\/us\/minneapolis-police-abolish.html\">Minneapolis City Council<\/a>&nbsp;(which includes several of my friends through the organization Local Progress) announced this week. \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Let\u2019s be clear: it is because of the massive organizing and public outcry in response to the killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd (following on so many more lost lives, Eric Garner, Mohammad Bah, Delrawn Small, Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and so very many more) that the possibility for transformative change exists.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
