Briggs: Democrats are super-funding the Indianapolis police

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Democrats hold a 20-5 majority on the council, which is enough to pass the budget without Republican support, even if some Democrats defect over the enormity of police and public safety spending.
42% : Their choice is to vote for the budget and acknowledge there is little substantive daylight between them and Hogsett or vote against it and accept the burden of explaining why they oppose such a massive increase in public safety spending.
