New Yupper. Cleveland's strapped for cash.
They are trying to run the police department as a profit center. A lot of the suburbs are running their police the same way. It's the difference between a bankrupt society and a free one. That can be taken a number of different ways, all[1] pretty much accurate.

New We're not a bankrupt society
