“Mayor Hogsett must commit to reimagining the role police play in our city, and that role has to be smaller, more circumscribed, and less funded with taxpayer dollars,” Jane Henegar, executive director at the ALCU of Indiana, said in written comments. “IMPD’s budget makes up more than 30% of the city’s budget. As Mayor Hogsett works with the city council to begin the 2021 budget process, we must shift resources away from law enforcement and towards Black and Brown community-based initiatives that support true safety, health, and well-being.
“Budgets are not created in a vacuum,” Henegar added. “They can be changed through targeted advocacy and organizing. We can demand that our local officials, including city council members and mayors, stop allocating funds for more officers and more militarized equipment.”
Across the country, there have been calls to defund and disband police departments following nationwide protests after George Floyd, a black man, died while being restrained by a Minneapolis police officer who has since been charged with second-degree murder.

2021? Huh?
And just how do these imbeciles that run the city now think they can recruit additional law enforcement officers when we have a mayor who is not serious about dealing with crime and a prosecutor that won’t prosecute? A retention bonus of $2,500 after the first year – what a joke. These people are not serious.
