Most will either be owned by the Fed or by the Cartels, with the few remaining good ones getting out. Regardless Police Policy will go easy on illegal immigrants because both the Fed and the Cartels want an open Border and the big bucks there in flowing to those at the Top/Down. It’s always follow the money now as honest folk are beat down. Money is power.

My agency is starting 21 year old recruits at $75K just to go to the academy. 5-year top-out without rank is 6-figures
This is a lot higher than I thought. Doesn’t the academy take around a year all in til they’re ready to work solo?
I thought police officers were more in the 50-60 range. Seems like people would do it if it were 75 to go to the academy and 6 figures with 5 years experience.

Even before BLM, police and citizen tension was high.
Is the job dead or in decline?
People take crime in their own hands?
How else will leftards get to a nationalized police force that only answers to Washington DC?

at some point the pendulum will start to swing back. i have seen too many videos of lawlessness. large groups of people rush into a store and strip it and run out. that can't go on. cops should never be your best friend but fairly enforce the law. a little fear of them is a good thing. i still don't think the cops that arrested george floyd did anything wrong. that was a fentenyal death.

It is all about location. In some small towns and rural areas, law enforcement is treated well and respected. The pay is not as good as in large cities but the cost of living is not as high either.

In Texas the academy is up to something like 5 months for the BPOA. Larger agencies that run their own in-house academies will be longer because they cover department-specific policies and procedures. Then field training is another 5 months.

The Dem Party is fine with this, tt; they passed the hat to make bail for a lot of the 'protestors' when Trump was in. And even Trump wouldn't pull the trigger and do what is required to stop it. Effective resistance will have to come from an organic (think community 'Militia' type) source as given the corrupt/co-opted MSM, any 'Conservative' government won't touch it.

The pendulum is broken. 2020 proved that. The amount of people who were just fine with a bunch of feral subhumans rioting and looting in every major city was staggering.

It is a fact in the Floyd case an innocent man was railroaded to prison.
The leftard/commies are just looking for opportunities, which happen to have the right optics, to encourage lawlessness and public sentiment to turn against local policing. Their answer, of course, will be a nationalized police force so that they can stop what they will call violations of civil rights.
"Never let an opportunity go to waste."

The police have no idea how to approach these crazy people.

The same number of people want to be officers. But now they are more careful about where they want to work.
Bossier Parish has lots of police applicants every year. It's a pro police environment and pro police city and parish govt.
Across the river Shreveport is hundreds of officers short and scrape the bottom of the barrel for applicants. The police station is physically falling apart from disrepair and half the city govt hates cops.

Federal police force is what the left wants. Thats why they’re pushing them to quit and retire.
