Basically every time I’ve needed police for something - a break-in, a violent person at my work, a neighbor stealing things from me with video evidence, a stolen car, on and on - I file a report and then never hear from them again. I can’t figure out what 40% of my city’s budget is going toward exactly. They have a ton of military gear for what purpose I’m not sure, while our roads and infrastructure are falling apart. They get as much overtime as they want…to sit in their cars and not do anything apparently. They won’t do anything about car theft where I live because they’re mad at the city council. Literally a work stoppage, which nothing can be done about. I’m not sure how many millions of the city’s tax revenue has gone toward paying out lawsuits against police either. So basically, they cost me a bunch of money and aren’t providing a service for that money.
