"ok we failed, but if you take our funding away and use it to try a different approach to the problem we will fail **worse**" https://twitter.com/NSementelli/status/1359294966116343810
also, @NSementelli is doing a good thread there, worth a full read.
the thing that bothers me most about the police is they are ostensibly supposed to be enforcing the law, but if you actually call them for 90% of crimes they will tell you there is nothing they can do.
package thefts, car break-ins, car thefts, shoplifting, bike theft, burglaries, even muggings. they do paperwork. if there's a pattern, they will look into it.
otherwise, ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
