re: State of emergency, LEO shortage -Jeff Landry

Good people are targeted and ostracized from industries and institutions with deep systemic corruption such as law enforcement, eventually causing them to seek other employment. What you're left with is a bunch of corrupt good ole baw thug pigs who all have each others backs. That's what law enforcement is today. That's why they can't hire and keep people.

I've been where you are and I completely understand those arguments. CAF, QI, all of it.

I think the difference now is I've lost patience with the coddling of the violent criminal element, and grown tired of LE pushing out to the burbs to give stopsign, hands free and seatbelt tickets to soccer moms.

They won't get shot, they get their money, and the criminals keep going.

These reforms have to come with strings that require "scalps" so to speak, and not just presence and budget boosting.

The fix isn't leaving the criminals to their own devices. Weve done it. It doesn't work.
