re: Mahomes tore his ACL

At his age, an ACL surgery and recovery will be pretty straight forward and he'll be ready by next season to start. He won't need all the pre-season games to get sharp----maybe a half in the last game before season starts and he should be good to go.


Would not be shocked if it’s more like October 1 and comes back a little tentative. I know speed isn’t his game but the elusiveness is a big part and it likely won’t be instant.

You aren’t wrong. It just isn't the entire story. People are harping on the overtime as some big gotcha because they only read headlines. NOPD has always underestimated the overtime budget because they are budgeted for at least 300 more officers than they actually employ. Until this year overtime was paid out of those funds and then the eventual overages were covered by the general budget. Not defending the practice of purposefully underfunding overtime in the budget but just noting that the overage was (mostly) accounted for until NOPD changed how they used their dollars. The shortage was brought up in June or July as well. The mayor's office provided their plan on how it was going to be covered. The plan was virtually impossible to pull off with what we know now.


Well, that, and terrorism, Super Bowl, presidential visit, etc….

I get there are many layers of nuance to the OT discussion. Just feels like a lot of folks are breezing through any second thoughts on the next administration’s plans simply on “as long as it’s not Latoya” and not going an inch deeper

That declaration would result in a sit down with Customs.


The acquisition of that money could’ve blown through about a dozen other safeguards, so I’m not sure the 13th is the hill I’d die on with this either being real or fake

No lies detected.

I mean, the 2025 budget had NOPD at like $40k in overtime projected?

And then like a week after everyone made it through elections it turned to “how were we unaware of this massive overage?!?”

I get it - teedy was and still is actively terrible. I just think a lot of folks are too ok rolling on vibes with JP and Helena, simply because they are calling out Latoya.

But also doesn’t the council budget have some controversial items like repurposing dedicated federal dollars away from their purpose to fill other gaps?

I’ve seen some commentary but won’t pretend to be an expert

Just curious about the actual budget and not just mocking the goon opposing it… we can’t forget this council approved one with no overtime, absconded on their monitoring duties and then acted shocked by the large gap that overtime had created, for instance.

Latoya is a bum but are we really on “trust us we got it” status with the rest?

Also if nicks and Childers are the same day there’s a real chance they overlap.

Curious how that turned out.


Are you though?

Some variety of taxes, sure. Scope varying wildly across the population though.

I think we have seen wildly varying estimates on both the revenue and expenses.

How confident are you that this is a net positive?

I think most quickly understood it was holding the baby to shield her from consequence/arrest not bullets.

Seems dumb.
Trump is old.

Honestly, concerningly old. Not disqualifying but if doing an honest assessment it’s a concern.

The problem is that for four plus years people lied to our faces and said someone much further along was not just fine but totally ridiculous to question the age and well being of… so now it’s a bit absurd to pretend to have that standard.

If broad based marketing I don’t blame them for advertising to all the present buying consumers

My Jewish friends are buying plenty

The ones that refuse to acknowledge it anywhere are a different story
quote:

Maybe cut the $38 M in overtime pay for cops


JP and Helena keep playing the “how could we know, we were lied to” card….

But it just feels like looking around and thinking we had zero dollars in overtime this year would be a level of incompetence even worse than just admitting some complicity

Probably talking like 1 person per district making like 75k a year plus pteb

Probably turns that human into a new NOPD community involvement position not actually saving money or alleviating overtime because they won’t be officers…. But why would I be so skeptical?

don't understand how someone could take an actual historically accurate moment of unity and turn it into something bad, but here we are. Like the whole purpose of the holiday was the moment of unity between settlers and natives, regardless of the other things that either side may have done at some point.


Also, let’s be pragmatic - that may be the origin story but at this stage it’s basically a chance to gather with friends and family to simply be both together and grateful. Lets do more of that, no?
