This was inevitable…
Quote from about the 5th paragraph down:
“They have said there is no staffing shortage within the police department, and that officers should focus on the most serious crimes.”
Flies in the face of the good ol’ Broken Windows theory - we cannot ignore the small stuff. Just one of the many things wrong with that movement…

A taste of reality seeps into the liberal bubble. Diminsh police in crime ridden cities and crime goes up. Who could have thought?

The BLM movement it appears was all about the Benjamin's. Notice how the top folks spent millions for houses and other very expensive items for themselves. Pretty sobering.

Even the out-going Dem governor of Virginia is pitching large pay increases for state troopers, corrections officers and deputy sheriffs in his outgoing budget request. I would guess that across the country there are career politicians who are seeing the handwriting on the wall and want to keep their jobs.

Usually yes, on both sides of the fence. The actual need can sometimes be skewed. Usually by greed or power in the wrong hands.

I feel like that kid on "The Simpsons." I just point and say, "Ha-Ha!" Those who want to "re-imagine public safety" are finding out that reality wins over imagination every time.
