NYPD budget: ~11 Billion Ukraine military budget: ~6 Billion. And I still have to dodge motorcycles going the wrong way through red light in bike paths.

  Holy hell, $11B? Is that correct?

      What the actual metric fuck.

        This is why you need to defund the police.

        In some places in America the police are vastly over funded, but in other places we have much lower police to citizen ratios than NYC. Police defunding in Seattle would be a disaster for example.

  US Coast Guard has ~13 Billion USD in budget, operates across the globe (there are USCG cutters both on Japan Sea and Black Sea) and is 5th or 6th strongest navy in the world: https://www.uscg.mil/budget/ https://www.uscg.mil/budget/
