I'm a little off topic,but while Kip backed our cops, he certainly didn't keep more men on the streets, provide good cars, and build the ranks. We may have had enough Chiefs, but not enough Indians


but were any of those things Kip could actually address without the approval of the metro council? I ask cause, if Kip couldn't actually hire more cops, get them better equipment, etc. then about all he could do is back them up. At least he did that. SWB, not so much so far.

The mayor proposes the budget. He could add cops, he can provide equipment and he can provide pay raises.

The council can not change the budget without a super majority of 8 votes.

Kip could have done all of that and Broome could now.
