New York City pol who wants to defund the police will have NYPD security detail
Fox News
Incoming New York City Comptroller Brad Lander will have an NYPD security detail – even though he advocates defunding the police, according to a report.
Lander praised Minneapolis after its City Council voted to replace the police department with the "Department of Public Safety." Voters later defeated the controversial proposal.
Lander, an outgoing Brooklyn Democratic councilman, said in June that he was disturbed that the city's annual spending bill increased the NYPD budget by nearly $200 million and expanded the number of cops and corrections officers.
