Reply to comment by pessimistic_bastard in The captain of a busy Philly police district is often absent. Yet he’s in line for promotion. by BroadStreetRandy

I don’t contest this in fact I agree with you but do you think the people choosing to do that thought “well maybe Philly will pay for it?” It seems a bit disingenuous to assume malicious intent. The people making those decisions probably thought “we need to cut budget, where can we do it?”

Cutting the police budget is "defunding the police", malicious or not and someone has to pick up the tab. I assume when Medicare / Medicaid is cut, it won't be malicious but they wont care to stop and think who will have to pick up the tab.
