Yup. Half my county's budget goes to the sheriff. Meanwhile, they take less than 1% of property taxes for roads and bridges, which everyone uses all the time.

I was a budget commissioner for 5 years. I was shocked when I learned that police and fire made up 60% of the budget. After roads and maintenance there was 3% left for actually improving the community. Too much is spent on police. Still voted for it because I don't want life without them. But dang!

Let's not forget law enforcement's big brother, the military. $800 billion per year and people throw a fit if we just keep that the same from one fiscal year budget to the next. You're literally opening up America to massive invasion if you don't agree with a good 5% increase every goddamn year.

I've spent a lot of time at rallies over the years, and I have a lot of photos of lines of cops standing around, making sure peaceful protesters...something. In my home town, we are way overpoliced.

Half the budget of city of Philadelphia is police. It’s ridiculous. They’re more interested in citations than solving or preventing crime.
