(and there are tons of cops downtown all the time, usually one on my corner, sitting in their SUV watching netflix or whatever).

Flex = Moving units out of neighborhoods on weekend nights during the Summer when crime is at its peak and mandating excessive overtime and cancelling scheduled days off for a force that has rapid attrition.
Otherwise praying that the random weekends when they keep more units in neighborhoods instead of downtown don’t blow up since there are plenty of false alarms don’t pan out.
That’s not sustainable.
