Police are a vital necessity in our troubled cities — to think, or believe, otherwise is a win for lawlessness. Partisan politics rules the day.
and which party is the one trying to kill police reform? Republicans.
Did you misunderstand the cartoon, or have you finally come around to realizing it's your party that is primarily responsible for partisan obstruction?
Yes -- It's messy because (as the article states) they are in a budget crisis due to Covid-19. Anything is easier to be thoughtful about when finances are not an issue.
Aren’t all news stories “propaganda”? Telling a version or account of a happening which works better for a narrative fit to print for a readership, rather than bothering with telling the full story? The assumption being that the general procurer, who devourers the news of the day, is as dumb as a rock?
An officer speaking off the record (anonymously) is kind of a whistle-blower — afraid of punitive pushback from bosses. Reasonable fear, I believe.

why would that person be afraid of pushback when he/she is promoting a narrative the cop brass would love? the anonymous source is trying to scare people about potential budget cuts. The person isn't a whistle blower. More of a pro-MPD shill.
beyond the actual police violence, there is the harassment and arresting of journalists, which is kind of running under the radar.
