Crisis

Both our local TV and newspaper have run stories over the last couple of days about a shortage of police officers, the newspaper headline called it a crisis.  

In the last couple of years, we’ve had a precinct house under siege for an extended period of time, complete with Molotov cocktails being lobbed over the fence, we’ve had large chunks of concrete dropped on cops from bridges, and a large percentage of the population who isn’t shy about referring to the PD as “racist”.    How can we forget the “fry em like bacon”

Given that reality, what would prompt anyone to seriously consider becoming a cop?   I’m sure there will be some folx who want to fill some diversity slots, but I can’t imagine any rational person signing up for what our local police have dealt with.  

Good luck filling those slots.

It's insane. The worst part is how the usual suspects defend the criminal attitude of so many of one particular faction of our population, as if anything allegedly done in the past justifies the attacks and disrespect shown law enforcement.
