Naah, hard to say what exact proximate cause (excuse) they entertained in their fucking skulls, but yes, it comes down to budget. Police budgets are a farce, and this is what the US gets. Public services are (in too many cases literally) criminally underfunded. And .. obviously the last ~50-60 years of "tough on crime" dogwhistling (as the civil rights movement successfully moved the discrimination boundary) is the new heuristic for quasi-segregation. Of course it's was not invented overnight back then, as it has been ongoing since ~1866. The post-Reconstruction culture and policy changes all boil down to "X while Black" and occasionally "or poor". |

Finish the job and end 'em. The US isn't a compatible platform for that kind of thing. It's a decentralized libertarian wild west with low social development, as intended from the start. Meanwhile, our taxes are going to waste in ignorance of that or in pretending we can (or even should) change it.
