  Looks like I hit a nerve - Apparently you can criticize working cops, but not illegal immigrants. In their own words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-dh1waEkrk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-dh1waEkrk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvmJjhk6Gsg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvmJjhk6Gsg

  This is the problem the mayor is trying to get help with. The number of illegal immigrants this year has skyrocketed and it's bankrupting the city.

    Well if that all it is, there's a simple solution. Make all the illegal immigrants legal. Then the budget for illegal immigrants goes to $0.

      Firstly; that would be a Federal problem, not something that the City can do anything about. Secondly; even if they were illegal immigrants (which is undetermined at this point; most of them claim asylum and have had no determination made for their case) they would still have had the right to shelter under City law.

        So you're saying that illegal immigration isn't really the problem?
        NovemberWhiskey 3y ago
        I'm saying that the arrival of a large number of people, who are legally unable to work, and who have no support system from families, and whom the City is legally obliged to house is a problem.

The NYPD is skipping an entire Academy class because of the cuts. It was uniform to every city agency.

  Five classes if I remember correctly; there are usually four classes per year.

The police budget is ~6 billion, out of about a $110.5 billion budget [0] https://www.nyc.gov/site/omb/publications/agency-budgets-projections.page?projection=056 https://www.nyc.gov/site/omb/publications/agency-budgets-pro...

  That's too high for what they do (or don't do)

  That's before overtime, which the NYPD routinely abuses to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars annually[1]. [1]: https://comptroller.nyc.gov/newsroom/nypd-overspending-on-overtime-grew-dramatically-in-recent-years/ https://comptroller.nyc.gov/newsroom/nypd-overspending-on-ov...
