APD 'Vastly Overfunded'
RECEIVED Mon., Nov. 7, 2005
Dear Editor,
OK, kids, this is ridiculous. Twice on Saturday I spotted APD helicopters in the air. One over the KKK vs. gay rights protest and one over a big keg party in West Campus. A helicopter over a keg party. It is obvious to me that the APD is vastly overfunded and needs budget cuts. The fact that our insane rates of property taxation are being cavalierly spent so that the cops can shine lights on things from up in the air makes me physically ill. Besides, given the APD's current habits of killing unarmed minorities, I think a nice big slash of funding might force them to get their priorities in line.
Are you listening, Stan [Knee]?
