I guess this is how we win. Bankrupt the city
LAPD budget for 2025: $2.14 billion. Works out to just over $41 million a week.
Being that they are already on salary I assume, I wonder how much it really was “more than normal”.
I can’t find a good resource for the exact pay formula they use, but cops are definitely eligible for overtime pay, which has apparently blown out their budget to the extent that the city is taking out a $17m loan to pay them (arc)
Cops are typically paid hourly and not on salary. They have to collect that sweet, sweet overtime.
Ah I figured they would have ranked pays like the military because of their unions, sounds like it must be more like teachers wages vary within their unions as well. I’ve never wanted to be a cop, so I never watched how their pay scales
Truly a thing that must only be wondered at. Where could one possibly find the answer?
The city has spent more than $29 million to cover LAPD overtime and costs associated with declaring a citywide tactical alert, according to the controller.
So further review shows they average over $4 million a week on overtime.
So I guess we could surmise it was around $25 million more than normal.
That’s assuming they didn’t also do the regular overtime on top of this and that the City Controller didn’t account for normal spending.
Sure, we could also ask why they only asked for $17 million to pay off the overtime as well, but we would just be going in circles, haha. I’m more impressed than they will pay 17 million off in 90 days when they are operating at a loss in some way that they have “$1 billion in debt” supposedily.
This is all overwhelmingly what Trump wants. He hates my entire state (California).
I’m not sure it’s possible to bankrupt a city like LA, they can go into massive debt and you and your children will end up paying it. They can also take the money from elsewhere in the budget: a shepherd will stop feeding the sheep but not the dogs.
Is the city really your enemy? Wouldn’t bankrupting the city play into Trump’s hands?
Is the city really your enemy?
So long as LAPD officers keep defending ICE kidnappings, yeah
