I'm shocked to discover that the police need budget increases every year to deal with potential crime (yet seem to have trouble dealing with actual crime), no matter what happens or what laws are passed. And some how we're safer and crime is reduced, except for that period around the requests for budget increases, when somehow we're all in danger.
Why it's almost enough to drive someone to cynicism.
Every year, this is like the 4th request so far THIS YEAR.
