Liberal Run City Ignores Calls to Defund Police, Proposes Its Highest-Ever Law Enforcement Budget

Monday, May 3, 2021 By Stillness in the Storm Leave a Comment

(Jack Davis, The Western Journal) Amid national outcries to “defund the police,” the city of Sacramento is looking to increase police spending by almost six percent.

The police budget is proposed to increase to an “all-time high” of $165.8 million in the next fiscal year that begins July 1, according to the Sacramento Bee.

The increase comes despite the creation of the Department of Community Response, which will replace the police in responding to some emergencies that involve mental health issues, homeless individuals and domestic violence.

City Manager Howard Chan put the increase in the overall $1.3 billion budget to covers a variety of costs, including five new officers, which would bring the number of budgeted officers to 756.

Police were granted a 3.5 percent pay hike in their latest contract.

The budget also recognizes the cost of providing oversight by funding new body cameras as well as investing $1.5 million in the data storage needed to hold the videos from the bodycams, according to Fox News.

The budget also provides $880,740 for “less-than-lethal” equipment needed to deal with protests and riots.

Multiple major cities have reduced their police budgets, according to Bloomberg.

And in Sacramento, the increase will face opposition from City Council member Katie Valenzuela.

“To put more money into law enforcement when we’ve said as a city we want to move in another direction, it doesn’t line up,” said Valenzuela, according to the Sacramento Bee.

Some in the community also oppose the spending. “Wasn’t the whole point that we were going to shift some things away from police? So why would they need more money?” said Flojaune Cofer, activist and chair of the city’s Measure U Citizen Advisory Committee.

“Given everything that’s happened over the last year, why is that where we’re placing our dollars?” she said.

Mayor Darrell Steinberg said that shifting $10 million from the police department over the next two years as a first step to create a new response system does not mean police spending can be cut.

“I’m not for ‘defunding,’” Steinberg said. “There are some things that are part of running a city, like collective bargaining and binding arbitration, and genuine needs for the police department.”

“I’m not going to get pinned to the argument that the measure of whether or not we are investing in the community in an aggressive way is whether or not we’re taking the money directly from the police department,” Steinberg said.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
