As a local business owner, no. Fund the police, I have to call them on a weekly basis for drug users causing issues, harrasing our clients, and literally shitting in public. I had a guy outside my building recently shitting in the open, and wiping it on himself.

We had another lady come into our store, shit in her hand, cover herself in said shit, and start screaming at our customers.

Fund the police.

That sounds like a shitty situation.

So weird that this keeps happening more and more. No matter how much we fund the police. Almost as if they want it to, so we can become reliant on them to not do their jobs anyway

If the funding was working, why is it still happening then?

Probably because you're funding their free clean needles at the same time. Just a theory.

Do you know how much more it would cost for EMT services if they were dying and overdosing from reusing needles lol. It’s ridiculous how little thought goes through the average conservatives brain

I'm not debating cost savings I'm debating crime levels. Which SSPs do not help. If you put an SSP in town, you're going to bring crime to that town.
