    I think you are right about the stated reasons, but I suspect the actual reason is so that cops get more overtime and the additional opportunities to harass targeted populations.

      It’s funny to see cops complain about how they’re supposed to show up for non cop stuff, and then when you tell them: good news, we’ll shift some funding to EMT/fire/education/homeless shelters so you don’t have to deal with this stuff, suddenly they’re against it.
