Crazy how much of municipal budgets go to police, which only protect a small portion of the populace. Massive subsidy for the rich.

- foogazi 4y agoYou act as if the common folk don’t benefit from the lower crime rate even as a side effect
- voisin 4y agoAre there any studies that show beyond a certain level of policing there are further benefits to crime rate? It seems to me we keep arming the cops with ever more expensive military equipment and generous pensions, and I doubt it translates to any impact on the crime rate. Though if you have studies showing otherwise I would happily change my mind!
