NYPL should start purchasing some Assault Rifle Fifteens with the really big clips before they go to budget meetings.

Closer to 11 when you include their pensions and “fringe” costs, whatever that means (probably gasoline and vehicle maintenance type stuff is my guess), but it includes lawsuits

From the report you linked:

A portion of NYPD-related expenses that are not included in this total are planned expenditures for legal settlements and awards for police-related lawsuits. In calendar year 2022 the city paid $378 million in legal settlements related to claims against the NYPD. Twenty-two of the total 1,395 settlement claims paid out in calendar year 2022 were over $10 million.

The FY 2023 library budget was 471M by way of comparison and the pigs paid nearly 400M of settlements lol

In New York, you are not allowed to read. Instead of funding libraries, the Democratic-Republican party spends more on the police than the people’s government spends on the entire Korean People’s Army, and despite all that money, their cops don’t even have tactical nuclear grenades.

I love how the liberal solution to every problem is to just grovel and beg for your fascist leaders to not do what they’re going to do no matter what
