thesegayz Posted May 4 Posted May 4 My city's police department staffed at 40%. Drunk drivers, reckless driving, and petty crime is increasing. The wait time for a police response is up to 4 hours, sometimes. We need more police officers, period. but go off in your own bubble and serve your own narrative and not the actual lived realities of people. I'm so sure he is increasing this just for college protesters 7 2 5

pisuke Posted May 4 Posted May 4 The US is ******. Both Biden and Trump are the worst options ever, only that Biden pretends to be something that he's not. He's just another CRIMINAL ******* who deserves the worst. 10 3

Do you realize that laws are punishment? And without someone to catch you, laws become suggestions? Before 2016, my city used to have checkpoints at random spots in the city, because the culture was known for drinking too much. Now that they're understaffed, drunk driving has increased, again. if a drunk driver doesn't feel the risk of getting their license suspended (don't even mention the actual enforceability of said suspension if there aren't enough cruisers around), they will drive drunk. Period. yall will go through mental gymnastics to say cops are the root of all evil, when they have a shitty job having to keep the city safe. Not to mention they get paid under $20/hr, for a city of nearly 1M. do most police departments have a brotherhood mentality? Yes, that needs to end. You can't just wave a wand and say the world would be safer without cops. It's moronic and it shows you don't critically think 2 1 1 1
thesegayz Posted May 4 Posted May 4 But please, provide a solution for what needs to happen. Who will enforce the laws? Who will respond to domestic violence disputes? Dog attacks? Shootings? Fatal accidents? Trespassing? Stalker attacks? but you're so myopically focused on college protesters, that your tilt really shows you're incapable of critical thought. Modern society is a messy, tangled up mess of fiefdoms—your hypothetical world of anarchy is objectively worse than the messed up world of egos we have to deal with now 4 1 2

Even if they hire more cops the problems you listed will still continue. They'll spend the extra funds getting new police vehicles, uniforms before they service the public. 3 1

GhostBox Posted May 4 Posted May 4 We should use some of that money to figure out how to get better people to join the Police force. How to make it more appealing to people who would actually do the job justice. In my small town most of the police are egotistical men who peaked in high school but still believe they are some high school bully 💀 1

Sure, but the amount of cops isn't gonna stop people from reckless driving. How do you think the thought process gonna go exactly? "Oh my god they just hired 100k cops, maybe I shouldn't drink and drive." no one is thinking that. don't tell me you want to subject citizens to checkpoints like that other user suggested. just giving up the rights you have left, just for a false sense of security 1 1
