Judge Jeanine rips 'bozo de Blasio' over NYPD budget cuts: 'This is the end of New York City'
'Justice with Judge Jeanine' host warns of looming 'breakdown in society'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is single-handedly destroying law and order in America's biggest city, Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro asserted on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Wednesday.
"I know from my days as a DA, if you don't have a safe community, say goodbye to business, the economy's going to go down the tubes, no one's going to want to move in," Pirro told host Tucker Carlson.
"This is the end of New York City and I absolutely believe this is intentional."

On Tuesday night, the New York City Council approved a budget that shifted $1 billion from the New York Police Department to programs that assist youth and community development.
Pirro said police officers are already frustrated with the city's law enforcement policies, and feel as though their hands are tied.

Last month, city officials announced plans to disband the police force's plainclothes anti-crime unit in an effort to build "trust with the community through respect, accountability, and transparency."
The "Justice with Judge Jeanine" host said the move would primarily impact inner-city communities, many of whom are left "petrified."

"What about the rest of us?" Pirro added. "We are paying for law enforcement, we're entitled to that security, and in the end, there will be a breakdown in society.
