This goes towards their budget, not to their own personal pockets, but is theft nevertheless

Correct.
I wasn't accusing cops of being thiefy. Civil asset forfeiture rly only effects rich ppl who actually have property tho. So not really a problem for the people upset cops have the authority and power to help protect them from psychotic knife wielding scumbags (such as myself, I've been in that category).
I would rather be dead from a jumpy rooky or angry lazy old mean guy not wanting to risk another 20 stitches or maybe lucky mortal slash than have someone else hurt from me going rabid and feral.
But most cops don't suck that bad, and we can improve that without destroying civil society. Or making cops suffer.
