Take it from salaries of police arresting victimless crimes like "open air drug markets." Maybe if you had been enforcing real crimes, the people wouldn't be so fed up with you. But instead, we can't park our cars on the streets b/c you let the windows get smashed.

If you ask

Replying to @nbay2nbeach @randolphhencken and
Are the police simply going about it the only way they practically can because the rest of the city has failed to address those issues? Tasking the police with a policy issue has never been a winning proposition, but the city continues to do it.

Exactly. Spend the money elsewhere.
