Defund the police

I also pay attention to the local news and have seen shit like this before.

I don't know how wasteful the spending actually is. I constantly hear crazy OT abuse accusations about local police, and I know military spending is just wasteful so I assume a lot of police departments have their share of waste. Apparently a lot of the heavy duty gear is hand me down from the military, but I assume there is a decent part of the budget for lethal weapons?

"almost never used" = waste of funds unless they are talking about police or military.  "waste" is only important when it comes to social programs and education apparently.
