AOC calls for police to be DEFUNDED to pay for homeless shelters in response to tweet by former NYPD commissioner Bill Bratton showing vagrants on subway with caption ‘why should working people & tourists be subjected to this?’

Democratic Socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York has jumped on a tweet sent by former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton that went viral earlier this week.

In the tweet, Bratton – who worked under outgoing Mayor Bill de Blasio – shared a photo of several homeless people sleeping on a New York City subway train.

‘You know why NY’s ‘recovery’ isn’t happening? This photo today on the E Train at 6:45am at 42nd & 8th says it all,’ he wrote on Wednesday.
