Well the progressive Durham City council does not give a damn about public safety. Let's take a look at our Durham 911 call center fiasco. This was directly caused by the progressive city council under-funding the 911 Call Center for years and not replacing staff that left. At the same time they managed to find tens of millions of dollars to spend on low income housing and other pet initiatives.

Well to start with the Durham 911 center was so badly understaffed in mid-2021 that they needed to shift the calls to Raleigh... which did not work out very well.

Even when they stopped shifting calls -- the situation was still a disaster. At least when Raleigh was answering the calls they would get picked up.

They should take money from the police budget and give it to those workers.

Here is a hint... the Durham Police Budget went down in 2021.

DPD is presently the largest division of city government, receiving approximately $70.3 million in the 2020-2021 budget. The 2021-2022 budget allocates approximately $2.8 million to the CSD, with $1.4 million in operating costs originating from DPD. Those funds include money for city-contracted positions and community initiatives.

Johnson said that CSD also has additional funds from Bloomberg and FUSE Corps not reflected in the budget at the May 27 work session.

DPD’s budget is largely unchanged—a 0.1% reduction from the previous year, because the department received external funds during the pandemic—but the council pledged to cut up to 20 vacant positions if the budget passes June 21, and organizations are now calling to reduce DPD’s budget by 10%.

You reposted the allegation, so you could have easily reposted the source along with the allegation. Again, you lack credibility.

How many times do you want the same exact f@cking thing posted over and over and over again.

All so you can run to the moderator and whine about it like a little biatch.

I fed up with this type of bullshiat.

The request wasn't for endless articles.
The request was for sources that support your contention that Durham City was a victim of the 'defunding the police.' movement.

I've never ran to a Mod about you. Again, you are being manipulative and making something up about my character. Something only a real pos would do.

Don't get your panties twisted. It's real simple.

YOU repeat YOUR contentions, but YOU leave out YOUR sources.

I said, hey, since YOU decide to repeat YOUR contentions, YOU should also include YOUR sources when YOU decide to repeat YOURSELF.

Stop whining about people asking you to repeat yourself. You do that all day everyday on your own. I'm saying it's a simple matter to include the original sources when you repeat yourself. BUT YOU DON'T.

You don't do this because you are on some bullshit.

Go read all the information in this and the other threads. If progressive city council members proudly bragging they are defunding the police doesn’t convince you then nothing will.
