Why risk your life to take a criminal off the street, when they'll just be back out in time for breakfast .‘Unprecedented’ Numbers of NYPD Police Flee Force as Crime Continues to Soar
2,516 officers have resigned from the department so far this year.
when the .gov doesn't have your back, why risk your life for someone who doesn't give a rats ass about you
Sure they can. They bring in more and more replacements every day.
Oh....they WILL replace the retiring officers.
So lets follow this thought a little more down the road......so we replace citizens with a vested interest in the place they live and work, with invaders who would view people like most on this board, antagonistic to our way of life. Super brown shirts in the making? I'm not sure if the rank and file would follow whatever draconian edicts they put forth (papers please, your sick...get in the boxcar) If they can't turn enough on each other, just like everything else import them for the progressive agenda.
I think everyone on the board understands that. Its the dumbass liberals that shout "DEFUND THE POILICE" and when they need help, they dial 911 and can't figure out why it takes the cops 20 minutes or more to arrive, then get pissed at the cops for nor responding fast enough, then want to defund the cops further
Can’t hire those that don’t apply. People aren’t applying to be cops.

Yea, this is true. But thats mainly in the context of liability. If the police FAIL to protect someone, the department and individual officer(s) are not criminally or civilly liable.

Police loosen standards for accepting recruits
Departments are relaxing age-old standards for accepting recruits, like education and prior drug use, to try to attract more people to their ranks
Boise Police Dept. lowers educational standards to become a police officer
The Boise Police Department previously required candidates to have an associate degree. Now, future officers will only need a high school diploma or a GED.
Police Shortages Pressure Mayors to Lower Hiring Standards: 'Worrisome'
Candidates with certain military or social service experience will no longer need to complete 60 hours of college credit.
Lowering standards to attract minority recruits? Sounds racist to me...
DOJ Forces Cities to Lower Police Exam Standards to Aid Minority Applicants
In Dayton, Ohio, where the police and firefighter exams have proven to pass few minorities, the U.S. Department of Justice is demanding that the city lower its passing score for the police exam in order to allow a larger pool of black applicants. by Raven Clabough

We're now hiring kids who 10 years ago wouldn't have been looked at for even an interview.
Biggest complaint my friends who are officers is: PAPERWORK!
You gotta make it to that big cushy pension first.
This is big.

The rank and file that won't follow those orders are being replaced as we speak.
As civilians, I wonder how many would be denied CCW permits under the CCIA in NY? Sad, sad, sad.Police loosen standards for accepting recruits

I can no longer fix problems. We have 3 levels of "supervision" dedicated to watching body cameras. And all the individuals involved in those levels have never actually been The Police.
They graduated an Academy. But they hid wherever possible, avoided confrontation, got put into specialized details because they're "good" (meaning, they don't have any civilian complaints because they back down from confrontation) and promote. So when they see an actual Cop fixing a problem that isn't exactly as the black and white policy says, they get offended and immediately wanna discipline the Cop. I personally have been "disciplined" because a LT didn't like how something looked on camera. The "complainant" (who never actually complained) told them to fuck off because the "complainant" knew I was legally justified in charging them with serious charges. Instead, I did the right thing by them. And I STILL took a hit.
The paperwork. I started before 2010. Since then, my paperwork for, let's say an arrest with a mild use of force, say a hard hand technique (punch) has gone from
Pre-2010 - Arrest report, Case report (usually a copy/paste of the arrest), Booking Information and the Charging Information
Now - Arrest report, Case report (no longer copy/paste due to the system), Booking Information, Charging Information, Use of Force forms (2), Aided report, BWC form (listing the Officers on scene), Prisoner Screening Form, Prisoner Debriefing form, Desk Appearance Ticket in triplicate and I'm probably forgetting a form or 2.
Body Cameras. I am not a believer in BWC. HOWEVER, I have no doubt that they've saved INFINITELY more Cops than they will ever hurt. However, I go back to my previous statement where we have Never Beens watching the cameras just to jam guys up. If I get a complaint? No problem at all using the BWC footage. But just having 3 levels of supervisors watching them to just look for bullshit to jam guys up? No thanks. I don't like having to follow policy to the letter to screw a citizen over instead of being able to do the right thing.
Let's say, you're in a 1 car crash at 2 am by yourself with no one around. You're a little drunk from dinner with friends, but the only injuries are your ego, your car and a tree. If I ran your license and saw you never had a previous DUI/Reckless/DWAI, I'd be inclined to give you a lecture about your stupidity, tow your car and give you a Mulligan. I do NOT believe in fucking people's lives up for a single incident of the Stupid Fairy visiting.
Now, I no longer have that discretion. If the camera watchers see that you're intox and I didn't lock you up, I'm looking at losing serious days. So sorry bro, but the black and white letter supercedes. This is NOT what I signed up for.
If anyone's interested, I got this in an email earlier tonight. And it's pretty on point.
State of the Troops - Calibre Press
By: Barbara A. Schwartz In an unscientific poll to assess the state of the troops, I asked current and retired officers from around the country a simple question: What do you think is the biggest challenge facing law enforcement today? The answers should be concerning to law enforcement leaders...
And to think 20 years ago I was told no because I have heart palpitations. I’d easily have the job today.
