"De-Funding the Police" - US

[Mortblanc]

I would worry about this if it were happening in a place I gave a crap about!

Occurring in NYC, not a place in the real world, it is to be expected and I don't care.

New York went through the entire 20th Century with little or no civil police protection and what did exist being in the hands of the Democratic political party or the mafia, if one could tell the difference.

New York is similar to London in that it is a place to avoid at all cost and if your employer tries to transfer you there you find another job ASAP. Normal rules of logic simply do not have any force in these places. Like Chicago, LA, San Francisco and possibly Key West.

In GB you have London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester with Glasgow up north to round things out.

What happens in those place has no real affect on life as we know it.
