Hello #LosAngeles, let’s talk.
In light of the #DefundThePolice motions and #peoplesbudgetla movements, I think it’s important to know where your money is going now.
Let’s take a look at a few of the people who run our police department to start.

Pop over to @KPCC ‘s site and you can find any city employee’s salary.
So I did. This is an aggregation of a selected handful of officers and commissioners who have control in the actions of the LAPD.
Oh, that’s a lotta green. Woof.

Let’s compare their salaries to the total department budget of other services.
Mind you: this is staffing, operations, and benefits cost for each department listed—just against the salaries.
Funny: emergency management only gets 3mil during Covid.

But don’t worry, there’s another crisis we all see daily!
Out of curiosity, how much would #homelesness be impacted by redistribution of salaries like @MayorOfLA ‘s to house people on the streets? Glad you asked!
Or in total:
But that’s not everyone in the ~50-60k homeless population reported by @latimes recently. So, what’d be the housing cost of that project, using endhomelessness’ 2017 study?
Huh. And what was the LAPD budget again?
Then I guess it would be simple to guess what one priority could be in #DefundPolice wouldn’t it?
Especially considering roughly 40% of our homeless population is Black and 40% also are LGBTQ.
@MayorOfLA, don’t #BlackLivesMatter
and #BlackTransLivesMatter?

Maybe the @MayorOfLA will return my phone calls tomorrow after we talk about.
