Feral Glory(as proposed by local BLM advocate groups)

-Reduce the proposed 2021 budget for the Fort Worth Police Department from $267 million to $72 million, and reallocate the remaining approximately $195 million to other areas of concern like affordable housing and housing solution for homeless people, medical assistance, free public transportation, parks and recreation programs and youth centers. -Remove Fort Worth police officers and all “armed forces” from schools in the Fort Worth Independent School District in order to “reverse our city’s role in Texas’ school-to-prison pipeline, which disproportionately impacts minority students.” -Remove police surveillance equipment from the Las Vegas Trail and Stop Six neighborhoods, because the program “unfairly targets communities of color.” -Cite and release for all low-level, nonviolent and “fine only” offenses. -Eliminate fines and fees for low-income citizens. -Ban stops for “furtive” movements and behavior, for being in a “high crime” area and for suspicion based on profiling due to any persons “fitting into the protected groups as per the 14th Amendment.” -Ban use of lethal force for individuals fleeing on foot. -Ban “no-knock” warrant executions in the city. -Host a town hall with the theme ‘Black Lives Matter’ in order to “provide a forum for the community to express grievances and an opportunity for leadership to listen and respond.” -Limit the scope of the Fort Worth Police Officers Association, including forbidding the organization from making campaign contributions to candidates for elected city positions. -Establish a strictly “non-police alternative” to handle mental health crises, and instead dispatch unarmed mental health professionals and social workers to “work as first responders for all mental health calls.”

Ft Worth, like so many other urban hives, is so terrified of bad PR that they are allowing every local group tied to the national riot movement to parade thru council meetings with lists of proposed changes.
