Reply to NYPD Blows Overtime Budget by Nearly $100 Million, On Pace for Record | The New York City Police Department’s budget overage defies a pledge by Mayor Eric Adams to cut overtime spending by half in his first year in office. by bloomberg

Legit, we have some of the highest police spending per capita in the country, and we have lots of efficiency since officers don’t need to spend a ton of time driving around, and we have relatively low crime. I don’t understand why we have such high overtime needs. My instinct is it’s officers prepping retirement but other comments indicate officers don’t like it either. We need something like the transit cost project for cops.

Reply to comment by pythonQu in H Mart to Open in Former Rite Aid Space on Amsterdam by L0v3_1s_War

Oh, I never ever patronize Whole Foods. The vibe in those places bothers my soul. My only issue with the H mart in my location is that it did not fill the void of what was lost. It only serves a sliver of a much more diverse population; nor are the prices competative with the rest of my neighborhood. Theres also plenty of more affordable Asian cusine 'mom and pops' to shop in for my needs.

I started the process of joining NYPD about a year ago, I thought with all I heard about them being so understaffed it would be a quick process to at least get into the academy.

About a year later, I still haven't even secured my seat in the academy. It took me less time to join the army, from first contacting the recruiter to finishing infantry school.

People have mentioned all the issues with mass quitting and not enough people wanting to replace them, but in don't think people realize how long and difficult the process is for those of us who do. The whole things a mess.

If they’re sick of it, maybe they should tell their union to fuck off and stop trying to resist attempts to reform the department into something more agreeable and less shooty-minority-y
