There are a few thing that come to mind with these grandiose budget cutting ideas that all culminate from California.
First, it’s a obvious result of defunding efforts. They don’t have enough LEO’s to respond to the multitude of calls for service. Yes, many calls are of civil nature, simple spats and as the kids like to say disrespectin’. These often escalate when either party feels now they have someone ‘on their side’ to settle a dispute à la de-declaration techniques from a fancy book-learning community social worker...who will likely call for help after the first five minutes.
Police depts are systemically defunded by the new trend of allowing citizen advisory boards and accountability panels. Nobody wants to be the police when the amount of frivolous oversight and discipline is determined by ignorant activists. These citizen activist groups are being funded with monies that were once part of LE budgets that are seeing a record number retirements or separations.
Just another big government drain on revenue and window dressing for the elected pol to claim theyre doing something.
California had their chances to rid their wicked elected, from the governor, district attorneys and mayors. Each one of these anti-police activists all were either re-elected or retained after recall. The suspicion of the vote counting irregularities and legitamcy of voter rolls were quickly dismissed.
California has one twisted and bastardized judicial system - again, modeled and copied by many large democrat run cites across the nation. To wit;
A citizen gets clocked in the noggin with a hammer by a nut who was allowed inside by the resident gets put away in jail for what… 4 months now, and maybe even longer as trial is still pending. Contrast that to the recent shooting death of a Selma (CA) Police Officer where a convicted felon that was released after a mere 5 months of a very lenient 5 1/2 yr sentencing guideline for weapons, robbery and drug charges, was allowed to carry on his violent antics. All on behalf of the bs political pandering justice reform policy of earned credit/early release. Issues supported by CA, NY, NJ, IL and mostly the WH occupant.
