But you're going to say, "ooooh but raaaapeee!!!" No, I say FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.

I haven't once injected language into this thread to emotionally charge the topic because the subject is rape kits. I have been consistent that a rape kit is about collecting evidence only. On the other hand, rather than give an honest debate you chose to center your argument around strawmen and catchphrases. After that you have the nerve to accuse ME of being the troll? That's rich.
I have also been consistent in my argument that a rape is like any other violent crime and you need to collect evidence if a police force is going to have any shred of a chance at proving a case. THE ONLY WAY TO COLLECT PHYSICAL EVIDENCE AFTER A SUSPECTED RAPE IS TO DO AN EXAM!!!

FDNY EMT comes to your house here in NYC, guess what that ride costs $400+ and you get a bill sent to your house.

Guess what? Putting out fires are ambulence services are not one and the same! That's another falacious argument you made in this thread but at least you were witty and condescending about it!

And as an aside, or BoD we killed 1 shift of our day security in our $20M budget so that we can save $80,000. Even after an assualt (covered in the news) in our buildings. So when you want to talk about having to pick and choose which line items you have to get rid of, I'm ready with my pen to start crossing things off, some hard choices have to be made at some point in time.

Guess what again? Private security services and Police services that are required by law are two different items! Another example you gave that has nothing to do with the topic.
Maybe you just don't understand what fiscal responsibility is about. Police departments need cars in order to respond promptly. They don't get to cry fiscal responibility and choose to not have cars. They can, however, hold back on upgrading or buying cheaper models. The forensics labs need lab supplies and computers to do their jobs. They don't get to cut computers from the budget. They can, however buy cheaper computers or hold back on upgrades.
