#Phoenix is about to #DefundThePolice!
The radical #progressives on the #PhoenixCityCouncil just announced a last-minute push to give their #AntiCop allies unlimited control over our #police. They said they wouldn't, but they were lying. #PHX #Arizona #DefendThePolice #Cops pic.twitter.com/Q567P5kuUR

“The City council plans to move forward in creating the misnamed Office of Accountability and Transparency,” said DiCiccio in a Facebook post. “This has nothing to do with accountability or transparency this is about destroying our police department and paying off a bunch anarchists, anti-cop radicals.”
Garcia, an anti-police activist has been leading the charge to defund the police through various maneuvers since taking office.

Garcia’s proposal “goes further than any board of its type ever has. Full investigative powers, and eliminates restrictions on activists manning the board. It adds ability for them to investigate virtually anything- not just police,” said one City employee who requested anonymity dues to concerns about retaliation. “One might imagine that through this proposal, Garcia can hire all his activist allies and use them to attack the City from within by demanding huge repeated settlements for almost anything.”
