This is the kind of government waste that needs to be highlighted. Police forces consume a massively disproportionate amount of resources from our cities.

Lawsuits are most of the money in LA. Juries love to think they're sticking it to the police, but it just comes from a different fund that extracts from a lot of other departments. The LA City Controller is making great attempts at outreach: https://controller.lacity.gov/data
