    No, we just need MORE cops, at least where I live…thanks to liberals and their “defund” movement…

      Yeah, it’s definitely the fault of the people who are pushing for reform, and civilian oversight.

      Staffing shortages couldn’t possibly be because there are tons of cops who didn’t want a bright light shined on their horrible, abusive behavior that they have been allowed to get away with, completely unchecked, since time immemorial…

      What we need is to de-fang the police unions, force them into the same collective bargaining pools as the rest of the employees in their municipalities, like all the other EMS workers, and then make them accountable to the civilians they are policing so we find police who actually give a fuck about bettering their communities.

        Like BLM? They turned out to be scam. I think most African Americans would agree that MORE police presence in their neighborhoods is needed, not less…just ask Oakland.

      It’s 2024. I can’t believe trumpers still don’t understand what that was all about.

        I know what it was about…it was all talk, just like the BLM thing…nothing but people complaining about how horrible cops are because of a couple idiots…but please, by all means, keep telling everyone how they DON’T need to be funding the police that much…
