On top of the $1 billion cut in operating expenses, there will be a more than $500 million cut to the NYPD’s capital budget, with the money instead used to build youth recreation centers and for public housing developments, de Blasio said.
- NYPD capital equipment
- youth recreation centers and for public housing developments
It doesn't matter
The same people will destroy either investment

I mentioned before there is a cop in my family. They are switching careers this year after 15 years of service. They are tired of serving the public only to be vilified incessantly.
It's a small thing, but when I go for my walks in my little suburban town and see a police car, I make a point of giving a friendly wave. They always wave back.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

My nephew is a deputy sheriff, and says they are doing fine, and that there is a groundswell of people that wave to deputies, or make a point of thanking them.
That is undoubtedly true. But, the above comes via his mom, and I know he always spins things so his mom doesn't worry about what he does. She already lost one son in Iraq.
It's getting discouraging. Every morning I visit my usual news sites, and then here. All of the protesters that were arrested in Eugene, were let go. It's as if we're turning around to realize that the far left marxists are already seated in positions of power. Police will not be supported, until the time when police duties will include carrying out the new power structure. Those will be the new officers' expected mindset.
I'm to the point of hoping a full-blown riot takes place somewhere, and the police just stand back and watch. Or something like that.
Instead of occupying 6 blocks and stating the complete bullshit of what it means, lovefest, etc., burn down 6 blocks, would ya? -

You'll be on their database now.
Just kidding, I actually do the same thing. Well, when I say wave, it's more of a gesture...(again just kidding)

They react to MAMILs in my town the same way.

NYPD limits retirement applications amid 400 percent surge this week
New York’s Finest are putting in for retirement faster than the NYPD can handle — while citing a lack of respect and the loss of overtime pay, The Post has learned.
A surge of city cops filing papers during the past week more than quadrupled last year’s number — as the city grapples with a surge of shootings — and the stampede caused a bottleneck that’s forcing others to delay putting in their papers, officials and sources said.
The NYPD said Wednesday that 179 cops filed for retirement between June 29 and Monday, an astounding 411-percent increase over the 35 who filed during the same time period in 2019.
The astonishing rush for the door came as 503 cops filed for retirement between May 25 — the day George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, sparking anti-cop protests around the country — and July 3, the NYPD said.
That number represents a 75-percent increase over the 287 who filed for retirement during the same time last year, the NYPD said.
Sources said that the deluge of applications had overwhelmed the department — due to cancellation of overtime for the workers who process them — and that the number of daily applicants was being limited as a result.
