🧵/Alright, here we go - let’s talk about funding/defunding and the police, shall we? First a disclaimer - it’s not possible to get as nuanced as needed via tweets, and although we hope people engage in good faith, we know that some may not.
First I don’t believe fund/defund framing is the best way to have this conversation.

Two things to point out - 1) the Chicago Police Department has only increased on funding year over year. 2) Currently we as a city spend $3 BILLION of your tax dollars on CPD per yr
Just last year, $91 Million of your tax dollars went to police misconduct settlements alone. Generally 40% out of the corporate fund goes to one Department - CPD - out of a total of 36 Departments.
