The proposed cut is 2.5% when every other agency in the city has been forced (unreasonably) to make cuts. And we all know that will just get made up with more "mandatory" overtime.

NYC spends disproportionately little on policing relative to other American cities. And given the crimes trends, this is a dangerous decision.

In 2020, that was about 8%. We are down to 5% now.

We need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on housing migrants in fancy hotels while people get pushed off of subway tracks. Priorities.
