What was Ocasio-Cortez’s reason for this? "Well, obviously, people need to eat, so they’re shooting other people."
That was New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaking at a virtual town hall on Thursday. The city she represents — one in which police are actively in the process of being defunded to the tune of $1 billion, and with an already overstretched police force — hasn’t quite looked suburban in the interim.
On Monday, Davell Gardner Jr., a 1-year-old shot in the abdomen at a barbecue in a Brooklyn park the night before, died at Maimonides Medical Center, ABC News reported. He was in his stroller when the fatal bullet struck him, according to The New York Times.
“The baby, in addition to three men, was shot around 11:35 p.m. Sunday in front of Raymond Bush Playground at Madison Street and Marcus Garvey Boulevard in Bedford-Stuyvesant, police sources said,” the New York Post reported Monday.
