Not sure how many votes come out, but I just saw this on twitter, and I have no idea what it means, but the star RT'd it.

How does kcpd budget compare to other PD it size and the size of this city?  I don't know that, be interesting to see.

I'm all for a tax to get PD and FD more money. ...we passed a half cent sales tax a few years ago to increase their funding but appears it's not enough.

the public brow beating coming from slyin, who cries like a 2 year old when anyone questions his funding requests, just too much of a hypocrite

Minneapolis $179MM for police for 2018. Atlanta $218MM for police in 2017. KCMO $254MM for police for 18-19. Whaaaa?

How much more should they get clams?

2010-2011 budget (last funkhouser budget) - $181MM
2018-2019 budget - $254MM - +40% PD funding under sylin from PD hating funk.

those are both smaller cities than KCMO, both in population and (maybe more importantly?) sq mileage

kcmo 481k / 315 sq miles
atlanta 472k / 133 sq miles
minneapolis 413k / 54 sq miles

Good point...although not sure the miles of sparsely populated northland really take that many resources.  Those were just a couple metros bigger than us that stood out to me with significantly smaller budgets on this graphic (then went and found a more recent number for MPLS):

https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2017/08/07/how-much-do-u-s-cities-spend-every-year-on-policing-infographic/#53b96ebee7b7

What other cities could we use to compare? 

Here is another data point...PD officers (not support staff) per 10k population.

http://www.governing.com/gov-data/safety-justice/police-officers-per-capita-rates-employment-for-city-departments.html

KC comes in at 28.3...pretty high up the list.  Atlanta has ~300 more total officers and more per capita than we do...for less money.

So... anything y'all suggest for the annual Big 12 tourney trip?

(Probs doesn't matter as we'll just be wasted by noon every day and never go anywhere or eat at any of the places we wanted and just have an Airbnb full of Whopper bar and Sonic leftovers, but still.)

Go order Mission Taco to go and walk across the street to eat it at Double Shift.
