They get super upset when you cut off the wage fraud spigot. What I find hilarious is that this whole episode highlighted the fact that even if there were no black necks to worry about, or protestors to be gassed, the seattle pd needs an audit. Call me a cynic, but it seems like they oppose budget cuts not because it would increase crime rates, but because it could reduce them, and they intend to continue committing them. They're going to try anyway, just like any other criminal, and that will be further waste and abuse of the relatively diminished funds.
I'll say this for Best - her cut isn't even close to the amounts that have been stolen, and her employees have been known to get a bigger cut than she ever did. That's why they passed a monthly reporting requirement for cops that make more than 150k a year. The SPD spends nearly it's entire budget on wages, it looks like cops have been inflating their hours at generous rates - and this is the quality of service they get for all that lucre.
