And because this question always comes up from my EU friends: No, the $11B number is not hyperbole. Yes, that really is the police budget. Not the US police budget, or even the New York State police budget. New York City alone, will spend $11B this year on its police force.

It has cancelled school music programs, reduced the number of days public libraries are open, reduced public swimming pool hours, to make budget room to increase the police budget, in ways they admit don't reduce crime🤡
