You could read the article. It’s not entirely complimentary.

The material about police funding is in the first two paragraphs.

“One week ago, Philadelphia mayoral candidate Jeff Brown told voters in West Philadelphia that he’d oppose increasing the nearly $800 million Police Department budget, saying: “We have enough money in the police budget.”

Then on Tuesday night, when Brown spoke to a group of Northeast Philadelphia voters, he was asked if “more police and more money for police” is a priority.

“It’s the No. 1 priority right now,” he said.”

And the most important bit, his response:

> It’s the No. 1 priority right now,” he said.

Oh, oops. Yeah, copy/paste fuckup right there. Thanks for the catch, doing an edit.

Hypothetically, couldn't he be referring to moving money around the PPD budget to allocate more money to hiring officers? A few other candidates have said that.

If that’s what he meant, that’s what he should have said. Like the candidates that said that did.

Hypothetically, yeah. But we both know that's not what he was referring to.
