Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), one of the top Democrats pushing to defund the police, reportedly asked for a special police detail to protect his home earlier this year following the riot at the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout a week after the Jan. 6th incident at the Capitol, we received a request from the Congressman\u2019s office for increased police presence at his residence,\u201d Yonkers Police Department Detective Lt. Dean Politopoulos <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/06\/26\/jamaal-bowman-requested-police-protection-for-yonkers-home\/\">told<\/a> the New York Post. \u201cIn response, our Intelligence Unit was notified of the request and the local precinct instituted what is called a directed patrol at the Congressman\u2019s home for the next two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Politopoulos reportedly said that nothing unusual had been detected in Bowman\u2019s neighborhood for years. The report noted that the day after the January 6 riot, Bowman told a radio host that he had been \u201csafe pretty much throughout the event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A spokeswoman for Bowman claimed that the police were called because Bowman \u201creceived threats,\u201d although she did not elaborate on the \u201cthreats,\u201d and she reportedly avoided questions about Bowman\u2019s hypocrisy given his support for defunding the police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI haven\u2019t thought about an amount, but yes, I support the reallocation of resources from NYPD towards more social services,\u201d Bowman said late this week during a video event with far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.3648648648649\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As crime surges, Democrat Jamaal Bowman say he supports defunding the police <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kh7W99gkOz\">pic.twitter.com\/kh7W99gkOz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RNC Research (@RNCResearch) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1408559728247066627?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 25, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The following are a few examples of Bowman pushing the extreme view that police should be defunded, which is championed by many Democrat politicians (the first two examples were highlighted by the Post, the rest are featured on his Twitter account):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cA system this cruel and inhumane can\u2019t be reformed. Defund the police, and defund the system that\u2019s terrorizing our communities.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe screamed defund the police so we could reallocate those resources toward something that focuses on true public health and public safety.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cDefund the police means defund the occupation of black bodies and the militarization of our communities.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe need to defund the police. Then we need to scrutinize the ones that remain with the full force of the law.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cGet the police out of our schools. Defund the police and provide our schools and children with the resources they deserve.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keith Olson, president of the Yonkers Police Benevolent Association, slammed Bowman in a statement to the Post over his hypocrisy on the issue of defunding the police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongressman Bowman\u2019s cry for extra policing at his home is hypocrisy at its worst,\u201d Olson said. \u201cNot long ago, the Congressman called for dramatically less policing in the most violent, crime ridden neighborhoods \u2026 Asking these same police officers to protect your family while creating policies that make communities of color less safe is simply disgraceful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
