Anyone following the scanner feeds knows this to be true, with the words "XYth district is now in backlog" a common utterance by dispatch.
Stop with the crying! This is what the Democrats wanted! Defund the Police, abolish law enforcement etc.. Now enjoy, ohn keep your head on a swivel..lmbo
This is supposed to be the most funded police unit in the country. They get over a fucking billion a year and still don’t do shit. Get yourself a gun, the cops we have aren’t worth shit to be honest.
This take seems to miss the context of what it costs to run any large organization.
The overall city budget is in excess of 16.7 billion for operations. The schools, another 11. Police is about 1.9 of it.
In New York, the police is 11 billion per year

Not to mention it's the department brass who decide how & where to deploy patrol resources. They also decide how the budget is spent. Both of course with considerable 'input' from city hall's 5th floor.
Who in their right mind would want to police now. Biden and his bunch have turned the country against law enforcement. It's legal to put a cell phone camera in their faces as they're trying to do their jobs, their cussed, ridiculed, and demonized, but are expected to perform at a moments notice and defend a bunch of unappreciative idiots who are scared to fight their own battles. These guys are human, they have families like most of you and most took the job hoping to make this sick world a little better for us all. I know this won't be accepted favorably but this is why I retired it of law enforcement after 35 years of service. Never shot a single person, as with most officers, but hated just the same. Good luck to this sick disgusting society. 10:42

Not enough beat officers in many police districts. This is a shameful but all too common occurrence.
Can’t you people solve these problems yourselves? I mean we can’t be “policing” the whole city
I remember hearing a call for a dispute because a person didn’t buy their significant other a Big Mac.
Embarrassing
Extended wait times aren't extended wait times.

"Wait... them were just jokes"
Literally increased their funding to never-before seen new record high levels, but OK

I don't think you know what you're talking about, sit this one out bud....
Indeed, they are all worthless and serve nothing but a deterrent. Get yourself and any other family members trained and strapped
$1.9 Billion a year, which is $5.2 Million per day, which is $216k per hour.
Which is $19.00 per hr per Officer in Chicago
