When the NYC subway has a domino-effect breakdown and I have to walk 40 blks home over a 2.5 hour trip that usually takes me 40 minutes, I'm less upset at the MTA's aging and crumbling infrastructure, and most incensed at the NYPD's $11 billion dollar (and rising) annual budget.
It's time for people to connect the breakdowns in service at their libraries, parks, public schools, the DMV etc w/the local police budgets disproportionately growing and holding our towns and cities hostage.
