Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) after the congresswoman criticized New York City mayor Eric Adams for approving the first pay raise for the NYPD in over six years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe are now at a point where officially, most officers are paid more than a teacher with a master\u2019s degree serving these same kids involved in these same incidents,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez declared. \u201cWe are defunding safety, defunding our public schools, defunding our public pools, defending our parks [and] defunding our libraries. \u2026 We are taking all of those resources and demanding that every single department except the militarized one be cut. We are sending a message about who and what we care about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Elizabeth Gomes, who suffered the loss of one eye in a September 2022 attack that became a viral video, responded to Ocasio-Cortez, snapping, \u201cIf a man is running me down I cannot call a teacher. I\u2019m going to have to call the police. I\u2019m gonna be praying for police, not a teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cFrom the attack, I lost vision in my right eye,\u201d she said on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6325439905112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox &#038; Friends<\/a>. \u201cFrom lack of police officers being in the subway station at the time, of them being defunded at that time, there was no one there to help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cHe was a convicted felon; he was in jail multiple times,\u201d she said of her assailant. \u201cHe killed his foster grandmother at 14.\u00a0 \u2026 The only thing I was really thinking about was somebody helping me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gomes acknowledged that teachers needed to be supported as well as the police, but added, \u201cIf you don\u2019t make these children safe in school, how would you make them want to go to school? \u2026 You want to fix all these community places like pools and parks, but how will people want to go if there\u2019s no safety? Safety comes with police officers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThey wouldn\u2019t feel scared to go to school; they wouldn\u2019t be scared to go to a public pool; they wouldn\u2019t be scared to go to a train station to go to work,\u201d she added. \u201cAt that moment when I was running up the train station I wasn\u2019t thinking about calling a teacher or calling a lifeguard for a pool, I was thinking about calling the police.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A woman who was violently beaten in a New York City subway and lost vision in one eye as a result slammed Rep.
