The City of Pittsburgh is trying "The Purge" out in real life daily from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m.

No police officers at any station from 3-7 a.m.
ALL thefts, harassment, criminal mischief, burglary alarms, etc. at any time will be handled by an automated machine.
Let's see how this works out for them.

ETA: To the "staffing shortage" issue, in the video they say Pittsburgh has 740 officers on the payroll, but only 20 will be working between 3-7 a.m.

BREAKING: Pittsburgh police will no longer respond to certain calls & will instead be redirecting people to a telephone unit.
Those crimes include thefts, harassment, criminal mischief, burglary alarms, etc.
Additionally, there were be only 20 police officers patrolling the ENTIRE CITY from 3AM-7AM. This comes amidst staffing shortages.

That telephone unit is a direct line to a social worker.

May not be best to publicly announce which crimes you won't be responding to.

Great thing for the city to advertise on the nightly news

Hopefully some of the good people use this to their advantage and take out the trash

In reality, a lot of jurisdictions operate like this unofficially.
Someone breaks into your house? Police will be there in a couple of hours.

“If the US got an enema, the hose would be stuck in Pittsburgh” is now [true] / false.

Did a week long training in Pittsburgh back some time around 2007 or so. One day after the class finished, I drove into Pittsburgh to find some food. Not one single business was open downtown. A culinary school was letting out and all the students were catching the bus and leaving. Finally found a pub near the baseball stadium. Next day, two guys from Pittsburgh were shocked I went into Pittsburgh after dark.

Cops don't do shite anyway. You can literally walk into a police station with videos/names/addresses etc etc of someone who stole your car and they'd be like "well we have to actually catch them committing a crime" The majority of them are useless. Outside a few who actually care about "protect and serve" the rest are just cashing checks until they can retire at 55

Demolition man gets it right again!

I wouldn't call that a purge. In the purge, killing was legal during that time.

This will end well
