In other words, is it completely insane, riddled with corruption, and spending money without regard for anything? Though in Chicago's case, the excess spending is more about insane amounts of overtime right now.
Cincinnati is not really a big city. It is only the third-largest city in Ohio, behind Cleveland and Columbus. You know about Cincinnati because of the pro sports teams, The Reds, and The Bengals. (What is the third largest city in Indiana, or in Nebraska?) $500,000 is a lot of money for a city the size of Cincinnati.
The police chief has decided that instead of honoring a business decision to send all 5-year-old service weapons back to Smith and Wesson for a discount on their replacements, they will instead destroy all of the service weapons, and buy new. I'm not sure why they think service weapons, most of which get used only at their yearly qualification (I'm assuming that Cincinnati PD has to do a yearly firearm qualification - I know it is dangerous to do so) need to be replaced every 5 years, but then I'm not a bureaucrat, and I know a little about firearms.
This is the Liberty Doll video Activist Cops Cost Taxpayers $500K
On the subject of Cincinnati Police she has the following to say:
People that have no problem enforcing unconstitutional laws, that arrest journalists for filming crime scenes, that arrested people for not social distancing in 2020, have officers drunk driving with expired plates, people dying of stab wounds during SWAT raids, arrest people for filming them during arrests, and also allegedly threatening to shoot them for filming, have officers involved in Narcotics money laundering schemes at nightclubs, and have 56-year-old officers using the police data system to get the phone numbers of 19-year-old women, are talking about not trading in their Department weapons and choosing to spend an extra $500,000 of taxpayer money because they're worried about "moral consistency."
Liberty Doll has the receipts for all of those instances. Watch the video.
First, replacing a handgun every five years would indicate that officers are not taking care of the weapons. A good weapon, properly taken care of, should last a dozen year or until it becomes obsolete. Second, I would monitor the bank account of the person claiming they need to pay full price for new weapons. That person is being dishonest.
