By far the most on point article I have read. I have been screaming these very issues and points for a few years now. All to no avail. So glad I hit that LinkedIn link yo read the full article. Great stuff.

Thank you so much. I spent a great deal of time as a kid around FW so it has a special place in my heart.

That’s awesome. Small world.

Exceptional piece linking attrition to statistical illusion. That Seattle protest sign captures the disconnect perfectly but misses how demographic thinning and overdose deaths artifically suppress crime rates without adressing root dysfunction. I ran budget analysis for a midsized municipality and the overtime spiral you describe is spot on, but nobody wants to hear that overhiring now prevents fiscal hemmorhaging later.

Dead bodies & stolen cars.
