Paterson NJ, Congressional candidate Billy Prempeh questions police support for Congressman Bill Pascrell who along with the rest of the Democrat party have turned their back law enforcement .
In a Facebook post Prempeh lays out his position:
“The left has gone militant in their mission to defund the police. So militant that they are leading society off a cliff. Just take a look at new York city for example. The police haven’t been fully de-funded, yet crime has shot up %200+! Gang violence is spiking accross the country and the main people affected are the minority communities.
Ever since “Basement” Bill Pascrell aligned himself with radical left politicians such as Ilhan Omar, AOC, and the rest of the squad, crime in Paterson is at an all time high!
Yes, our police are not perfect. They are human just like all of us, but de-funding them will not make our communities any safer. Don’t buy into the dangerous progressive Utopian fantasy that getting rid of the police will somehow make all the criminals disappear and transform the world into Kumbaya land. It’s not gonna happen!
