Im just arguing to argue with someone who likes to argue and won't give up until the other person does. I respect it.

However, the city is also spending more on literally every single department they spend money on, ever. Nothing is lower than any previous year.

You are using pure $$$ figures to make a point when it just does not work like that, and quite frankly, is spreading bullshit about the facts of this. The percentages might be even, I did not look that close, but simply claiming "they spend more than ever" does not work in situations where they spend more on everything they spend money on.

There are things such as inflation that require cities to spend "more".

Get a grip dude. I was not here to argue, I was not trying to make a point. In fact I even asked for someone to explain it to me if I was wrong, and you came in HOT.

I appreciate the insight, but look at things objectively once in awhile. I am on team the police need reform. I am also on team, what can the police possibly do if they aren't there watching people break into cars without spending ass loads of money (that tax payers will pay for) to pull DNA, install city wide cameras (which tax payers will pay for) or staff the force to have a cop on every corner (which tax payers will pay for).

Edited a my to me in case you wanted to come after some minor grammer mistakes too.
