I’d rather have Sunday library hours.

Or maybe social workers in schools…

Let’s fully fund NYC Dept of Homeless Services while we are at it.

I think we can do these things for less than the cost of nypd overtime.

@stevenbodzin My first thought was, "Hey, least they don't have an MRAP or a tank." Then I realized how *utterly wrong* it is that such a thought made sense for even a moment.

(Also, I assume they *do* have those things, they just weren't using them at the moment.)

@stevenbodzin @freakazoid And there’s this:

“The officer that choked Eric Garner in 2014 raked in $17,000 in overtime in the 12 months after Garner's death.”

NYPD budget for 2017 of $10 billion included $4.8 billion in “fringe benefits” and $335 million to settle past claims of police misconduct

Let’s divest from the NYPD, please.
