De Blasio to shift NYPD funding to local youth groups









New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio has caved to calls to pull funding from the NYPD. Hizzoner announced  that the city would reallocate an unspecified chunk of the department’s budget toward city youth groups and social services — days after dismissing demands to defund the police force, which has seen nearly 300 injured members amid recent unrest.
