The “Defund the police” movement that garnered support from some Democrats in the aftermath of the 2020 police killing of George Floyd is “dead” in New York City, Bronx Congressman Ritchie Torres declared Thursday.

Torres, a first-term Democrat, made the proclamation after MSNBC’s Jose Diaz-Balart asked whether he agreed with Mayor Eric Adams’ stance against cutting police budgets.

“The defund police movement is dead in New York City — and good riddance,” Torres said. “And any elected official who’s advocating for the abolition and/or even the defunding of police is out of touch with reality and should not be taken seriously.”

Torres told Diaz-Balart that he also supported the mayor’s call to action to Congress and President Biden to prevent guns from coming into New York from other states.

“The majority of guns recovered in New York City crime scenes are coming from the South, are coming through the ‘iron pipeline’ from the South to the Northeast,” he said. “We need more action on the part of the federal government. We need the federal government to crack down on the iron pipeline.”

He panned Republicans for refusing to support gun control legislation.

“There’s a political party in America that has an almost fanatical opposition to even the most minimal standards of gun safety — and that’s the root of the problem,” Torres said.

Adams earlier told MSNBC that “defund” does not work and is “the wrong bumper sticker.”

“I have too many police officers that are doing clerical duties,” the mayor said. “If you’re inside, I want to know why you’re inside. If you’re not, I need you to put on your bulletproof vest and do what New Yorkers hired you for.”

Biden echoed that message Thursday during an appearance at NYPD headquarters.

“The answer is not to defund the police. It is to give you the tools and training, the funding to be partners, to be protectors and [the] community needs you,” the president said. “It’s time to fund community policing to protect and serve the community.”
