I’m pretty sure corporate America has been going down this path for a while, especially the last couple of months
At least the police don’t have to report profitability every quarter to their shareholders

NYC cuts $1B from $6B police budget

I see I've overloaded your brain by trying to engage with you in conceptual thinking
Perhaps you should take a nap
Including infrastructure?
There’s a big difference between blanket budget cuts and cutting specific areas where there’s an opportunity to spend more judiciously
I’d love a nap but that’s the last thing I got time for.
maybe one day you’ll understand what you’re screaming at the sky for.
Disagree
Cutting police budget by 1/6 in the midst of rising violent crime is extremely dumb
You need a baseline level of security in order for society to function
While I agree with your premise, I'm sure that a police department is rife with waste and high administrative overhead like any other organization that's public or private for that matter
But then again, lets get real, I'm sure that's not what's being cut!
exactly
there's surely a lot of waste but If NYPD is forced to cut, they are going to make sure the public notices the cuts
I like how increasing teacher pay is never an answer for the schools, but it's square one for police.
luckily there's no white privilege in NYC so brooklyn hipsters have nothing to worry about!
Now you see why NYPD is over budget?luckily there's no white privilege in NYC so brooklyn hipsters have nothing to worry about!

I don't think the pay has anything to do with what people are complaining about, and I don't think taking 15% out of the budget indicates to any indication that anyone thinks pay will be increased.
They're certainly not going to be able to increase training, which would be necessary if they actually wanted better responses to dynamic interactions.
I think the NYPD might drop their specialized units first, starting with targeted patrols for street violence and such. Roll their specialized investigation units for domestic violence, sexual assaults and violence against kids and terrorism and such back into their general investigations units. Maybe roll back their heavy rescue and harbor and transit policing.
On the preceding page GWS thinks this is a bad idea for attracting quality applicants, and that isn't the first time a right-leaning response to "defund the police" on the erBB has been countered with "less pay; I'm sure that'll work".
But pay increases are a non-starter with the right-leaning erBBers when it comes to the teachers.
The police aren't doing sh!t in the Bronx and haven't for 50 years; Manhattan is a tourist city full of empty deposit box luxury real estate owned by people overseas. It's the oligarch bug out shack.
