There’s an Affleck brother in town, so bank robbery probably

Yeah but the way you achieve that is by not paying police insane overtime wages to do things a civilian can do, like details. The way you decrease funding so that you can increase it elsewhere is by having less unnecessary police on the streets.

We’re talking about unions in a general sense. Teacher Unions are important for legitimate reasons and Police Unions aren’t was my point. Also, as someone who works in Boston Public Schools, you have to understand that the schools themselves are also criminally underfunded so while teacher pay is a lot better here than a lot of other places, BPD teachers often have a LOT more to deal with than say teachers in a suburban setting. Also, the cost of living here is insane. $105k to deal with what these teachers deal with year round in the city of Boston isn’t as much as you think it is.

I mean thats kind of what the “new realities of policing” entail

You are aware the whole point is to defund the police, have less unnecessary cops on the streets, and reduce the amount of power the police have right

Teachers are criminally underpaid and need a means to negotiate better salaries and benefits. Police Unions are just gangs that exist to strong-arm the legal system into never holding the police accountable.

Replacing a detail officer with a paid civilian doesn’t change the amount of “staffing” on the streets. It just means we don’t have to use taxes to pay some cop overtime for standing still.

Dress like you’re going to Dave & Busters, but the good Dave & Busters, not the one attached to the mall

Yeah there’s a “speakeasy” style arcade bar in the back
