I don’t think I know anyone local who hasn’t almost been clipped at least once. Bay Ridge car culture is unreal.

Reallocate funds. The NYPD isn't hurting for money.

...we're talking specifically about the NYPD? They're a city problem, not a national one.
Yes, lack of de-escalation training is national problem. That's also not the conversation we were having.

This is federal, not NYC. And my rep is a Republican who voted against it. She's really the only rep I'm directly concerned with. And it does throw an extra $100m+ at the problem.
That said, de-escalation training is a great idea in theory. It shouldn't have to come down from the feds. This is a city problem, but everyone is so scared of the cop unions (probably rightfully so) that nothing's gonna change.

What concrete measures are thrown out beyond "give them more money?"

Serious question - is anyone gearing up to primary him?
