@ijbailey @samswey I’m just seeking clarification as to what we’re talking about — were there big boosts in real funding or are cities trying (and mostly failing) to keep departmental budgets up with high inflation? — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @NicoDelon @samswey There’s a difference between a world where police resources are increasing and one where police resources are rising in nominal terms but falling relative to inflation — same as in assessing a private company’s pay scale or anything else. — PolitiTweet.org
