“Another Saturday and another protest in the Village. Rumor has it the police overtime bill is nearing $40,000k if not more. So it looks like whether or not you support the BLM agenda, you will be paying for it in your tax bill.
In an ironic twist, the “Defund the Police” movement has actually created quite the opposite scenario, where these protests have actually funded the police by the tune of 40k more.”
“Yes, the money is coming from the overtime budget, but remember that this overtime budget is an amount that is estimated for the year based upon recent yearly trends. These BLM marches are not something that was foreseen, so this additional “it’s my right to march” money will have to be accounted for in the way of increased taxes or cuts to other services.”
“This money is coming out of the overtime budget, we would like to know how much money is in the overtime budget. We know a few years ago it was about 400,000, if those numbers are true. Truly ridiculous. You gotta be crazy if you would want to become a cop today. These cops got a lot on their plate. No wonder so many are retiring.”
Let the asses march no Police OT TO give them an audience .
They are not going to burn down the
Village they are a bunch of kids
If they get run over maybe they can figure out that taxpayers cars in motion matter to their sorry asses
