Won't happen ofcourse, cause low taxes are more important.

Do you realize how much is spent on police force pensions and benefits, and the militarization thereof (buying tanks and hellicopters in small suburban municaplities)? What does low taxes have to do with anything. It is mismanagement of the taxes they have. 

I was under the impression that the police force was strained due to always ongoing budget cuts, hence the shortcuts on training etc.
Yet if you say it's used to buy expensive toys instead of more feet on the ground, that's actually worse :(
