Back the Blue Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/top-stories/binghamton-city-council-to-consider-referendum-to-dissolve-police-department/ Binghamton City Council is considering a referendum to dissolve the Binghamton Police Department at its work session Monday evening, although observers feel it has little chance of passing. A request for legislation was submitted to City Council by resident and frequent government critic John Solak called the Police Choice Act. Solak tells NewsChannel 34 that he supports dissolving the B.P.D. because it will save Binghamton taxpayers money. He says it’s unfair that city residents contribute to the funding of State Police and the Broome County Sheriff’s Office and get little in return.

ginger Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I have a couple of questions. How would the work be delegated? I'll give a specific example...I had a lost boy knock on my door. The school refused to help me with information. I flagged down a State Trooper, who just happened to be coming off the highway, explained the situation and he said I had to call the Binghamton police. Who would I be calling for a situation like that? Secondly, if the Binghamton police were transferred to the Sheriff's or State Police...would they have more powers regarding illegal aliens? Thirdly, what exactly is our status? I've been reading about 287g programming but the literature says in NYS, only the sheriff's in Rennsalaer are participating? If I'm reading it right, if a county is participating, certain functions of ICE are delegated to them. Yes I understand the argument, why should our tax payer provided officers be burdened with doing a federal job and not get paid for it...but considering the circumstances... I think it's all hands on deck. No? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casual observer Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 I respect John and agree with him a lot of the time. I think he is WAY off base with this idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 https://twitter.com/CMvpaladino/status/1754567392448197085 Councilwoman Vickie Paladino..If you recall, part of their sanctuary city resolution left law enforcement powerless to engage with ICE. They weren't allowed to hold or release criminals for deportation. OMG, remember when Cuomo let hundreds of them out of prison? Lucky we only have a NON BINDING WELCOMING RESOLUTION, HMMM?

What did I just say 2 weeks ago, as did Vickie Paladino? Did you see the video Laken Reilly's best friend posted? It's devastating. NYC police let her killer go free instead of waiting for ICE. I hope her family sues everybody including Biden when he gets out. HAVE THAT PAPERWORK READY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read an illegal threatened a security staff member on Randall's Island by telling him he's in some gang from Ecuador. Tattoos all over him.
