We are far enough from tourist destinations that nobody comes here accidentally, and theres nothing to do here but drink and smoke meth, so canadians generally stay away.

Police Scotland have started doing routine patrols with armed police, preparing to crush dissent after the crowning of His Majesty King Alexander I of Scotland on September 19th. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-28656324 I quite like the reversal of the US gun control argument in there though, if we give the police guns then criminals will have to get guns too!

Except they're not. It's an armed police unit being deployed to routine incidents because there aren't enough resources to handle them. This has been happening all over the country for years already. Police budgets were cut by 20% over the last 4 years and there's talk of them being cut by another 20% over the next 4 years. That is not sustainable. Police are already operating at "minimum staffing levels". Levels which have already been warped and altered beyond their original intention. Example: In my old police force in 2010, we had a minimum staffing level of 4 constables for the city centre and another 8 for the outlying areas. So 12 cops covering an entire city of 320,000. For comparison, in the busiest nightclub there were about 15 bouncers. Each police officer was responsible for the safety of 26,000 people. This was before the budget cuts.

The biggest city in my state, sioux falls, has 230 sworn officers and around 30-50 cops per shift for a city of 150,000 people. Branis fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Aug 6, 2014 |

We pushed our lowest limit I've ever seen the other night with just 9 patrol officers on duty for 350K. The admin deleted all concept of "minimum staffing" from our regs last year. It used to be like 25. If I hear one more complaint about those response times...

250,000 people in my 11 square mile borough and on a Friday night or Saturday we routinely have 600-800 officers on the job . It be honest it isn't fair how much funding the MET get, although almost a quarter of our funding and maybe 33% of beat officers come from council funding.

Property value + high property tax = Rich people wanting a lot of cops = A lot of cops Live is a shithole with low poppity value? Suck it.

It's a mixture of incredibly expensive property, the southern 2/3rds of the borough are very expensive, the northern third is a mix of high value commercial property and 2 square miles of pretty deprived council estates (projects). Gentrification is forcing most of the poors out and bringing the crime rate down, which our senior officers obviously claim as their hard work. A 2 bedroom 1000sq ft flat even in the poorer areas is going to set you back about £400k ($670000)

Chased a drunken guy a mile down some train tracks earlier because he was refused travel for being too drunk + aggressive. Missed being splatted by a 70mph train by less than a minute. Apparently he's going to put in a complaint against me

Whats your warrant number? I would like to corroborate this compliant on 2 grounds. 1. You shouldn't be able to run a mile without suffering a catastrophic coronary heart attack, it makes the rest of us look bad. Just be happy with the 5.4 on the beep test 2. He was clearly a jerk, the best place for him would have been spread across several hundred yards of network rail property. I'm off to a police BBQ today, obviously pork is off the menu as cannibalism is an unconscionable crime and units who had to work today are already making threats to ruin the fun by arresting attendees.
