Ah yes, seeing policemen is going to stop crime…. being visible (I’m surprised they haven’t asked for more budget to put in more cameras, but I’m cynical in that way.)
And of course, this needs overtime, because well… who’s going to direct traffic when we need policemen on the street stopping hate crimes. We couldn’t train civilians to direct traffic, could we? Like the school crossing guards (lollipop men, if you prefer). Really, we can’t manage to hire, train and employ traffic guards to take the pressure off police… because of course, it’s all time and a half. We manage to employ them for highway safety, it can’t be that big of a jump to do it in the city
