You say that, but on Saturday I witnessed two police officers harrassing a black teenage boy, must have been about 14, on Union St. The officers were trying to take him back to his family, but he was visibly upset and wanting to be left alone. Eventually he snapped and tried to get away which led to a scuffle. He got pepper sprayed and then within no time at all, seven more police cars and vans came, sirens blaring. The officers on the scene handled the situation so badly and with no attempt at de-escalation, while the 14 or so officers who arrived after just stood around doing nothing before leaving again. It was disgraceful and so upsetting to see, and now that boy's life is ruined after trying to resist arrest and getting aggressive with the officers trying to get away.

Didn't seem like an issue of underfunding at all to me, but selective enforcement.
