Los Angeles is going to have some troubles on their hands - from Law Enforcement Today:
Los Angeles: Cutting up to $150M from LAPD budget, reinvesting into ‘communities of color’
The mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, levied a challenge toward the city on June 3rd to identify budgetary cuts in the realm of $250 million to be redirected in investing into communities of color, women and “people who have been left behind.”
Apparently, up to $150 million has already been identified and is being cut from the LAPD’s budget.
And of course:
Melina Abdullah, one of the co-founders of Black Lives Matter’s Los Angeles outfit, reportedly feels as though the budget cuts mentioned are not enough.
It is never enough to these people. You never appease a Social Justice Warrior - they will never ever be satisfied. As for our 50+ years of investing into communities of color, a few headlines that tell the story:

The last link has this telling graph:
$15+ trillion dollars of our taxpayer dollars wasted and nothing has changed - nothing will ever change. We are approaching this problem from the absolute wrong direction and nobody has the political stones to say this out loud.
