the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

It’s thought policing to not give me money or not laugh at my jokes.

Mamdani, like Johnson, will give them a raise and increase head count. But that isn’t enough because they made some semi critical grumbles once.

Do other rich countries have government shutdowns? My hot take would be such a thing should not exist. Funding continues at current levels until some new budget is enacted which modifies those levels.
