They can call a social worker to protect them lol.
It might actually make sense to
ADD more persons, including social workers, if the teeth of the police were not already being extracted. The concept of minimizing any type of police presence in the face of a rising crime and murder rate is just plain counter productive, and cannot serve any purpose other than one more politically endorsed disaster that the opposing party can blame on the POTUS.
Diblasio already has an out of control situation of his own lack of leadership making. It can only be hoped that a lack of police protection will cause him the same problems he will cause lothers by his actions, but, unfortunately, it seems he is lacking in the common sense it would take to wake him up.
