NYFD Lt. Alison Russo-Elling was brutally stabbed to death in New York yesterday, all because she failed to heed the advice of her city's politicians

You get what you vote for: Socialist/lesbian/democrat: “just say no” to police protection.

The defund the police buffoons who are returned to office, time after time, by city voters, have tips on how to make New York Fun City again, including the advice that in case of trouble, call in the social workers, not the police.

Two days before a maniac stabbed to death a veteran EMT lieutenant and grandmother in Astoria on Thursday, defund-the-police-promoting Queens Councilwoman Tiffany Caban and Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani released a “public safety” guide discouraging merchants from calling the cops.

The guide from the two Democrats urges small business owners to dial 311, seek mental health services for people with mental illnesses, and engage in “community mediation” instead of calling 911 to summon the police when there is trouble in many cases.

It also advises merchants to “give the person causing harm the chance to correct their behavior” before seeking intervention.

“Say `no’, `Stop”’, or `That is not Okay,'” the guide says. 

Wanted to share this Public Safety Resources poster @ZohranKMamdani and my offices collaborated on.

We’re distributing them to local businesses, so our neighborhood is equipped with better ways of solving problems than simply summoning police every time a challenge arises. pic.twitter.com/zvpMWDRdeL

You can read here about this 61-year-old woman, due to retire in six months after 24 years of service, and her murder, but the bottom line is that she’s dead, a lunatic is still around, and so, too, are the politicians who are letting all this happen.
