Mayor is sharing stats, like “only 20% of Americans favor reductions in police forces.”


"And like 90% of our bribery kick backs come through the police dept."

The Mayor knows what the city council has voted to do is unsustainable. And, his political future is tied those fools on the city council. I don't blame him.

Imagine anyone actually disagreeing with a mayor of any city saying "I am not going to 'abolish' our police department?" This is a real life South Park episode we are stuck in.

Feels far more tangible than that.
More like post-colonial Africa.
