The deranged defund the cops movement is the criminals best friend
It turns out that we really do need the police, after all. Do you remember a few years ago when blue cities all over the nation wanted to defund the police? Needless to say, that didn’t work out too well. Wherever police budgets were slashed, crime rates shot up. Today, we are in the midst of a massive crime wave sweeping the country. In fact, it has gotten so bad that even our most liberal politicians are desperate to restore law and order. But that won’t be so easy because, after everything that transpired, blue cities are discovering that they are having difficulty finding enough warm bodies to serve in their crime-ridden communities.
Just look at what is happening in Minneapolis. Since the death of George Floyd, the number of officers serving in the MPD has fallen by about 35 percent…
The Minneapolis Police Department is experiencing historically low staffing shortages, with ranks down approximately 35% since the death of George Floyd in 2020.
According to a June report from the Department of Justice, the MPD had 892 sworn officers in 2018, but that number has since dropped to just 585. An officer told the DOJ that the police department’s morale “is at an all-time low.”
Once upon a time, Minneapolis was one of the most beautiful cities in the country.
But now it is a crime-infested hellhole, and at this point, the city “has one of the lowest ratios of police officers to population” in the entire nation…
Some days, the department has only four officers working a given precinct, the outlet reported. The MPD is often so understaffed that it does not have anyone available to work the station’s front desk.
Minneapolis has one of the lowest ratios of police officers to population, with 1.4 officers per 1,000 residents, while the national average is 2.4.
Similar things could be said about San Francisco.
...
This month, the SFPD will recruit trips to four different Texas universities…
- Texas Southern University in Houston;
- Sam Houston State University in Huntsville;
- Prairie View A&M University; and
- Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
If you always dreamed of serving as a police officer in a lawless city with hordes of drug addicts, this is your chance.
...
It is an interesting selection of Texas universities. Texas Southern and Prairie View were originally colleges for blacks although they are now integrated. Corpus Christi is a predominately Hispanic city in Texas and Huntsville is the location of the main Texas prison system. If they are looking to hire minorities they are likely to find them at these four.
Both Minneapolis and San Francisco have been ruined by liberal politicians and the voters of those cities that elected them. I suspect that until they recognize that was a mistake it is unlikely that things will get better.
