All of you make valid points. Throwing money at the problem would be a very, very short term fix.
What will happen, the cop’s that do stay, won’t lift a finger. The place, statewide, will make ChiRaq and Mogadishu look like playgrounds. Especially with all the international gangs that in place. Departments around the country are short, all over the place. They’ll soon be a bidding war to get experienced officers from California and surrounding states and cities will be able to fill their ranks. California departments will get the bottom of the barrel. They will then, because of the ever expanding numbers of foreigners, have to make accommodations and begin hiring foreigners, green card holders and resident visa holders, for cultural and language barrier reasons. It will spiral out of control. Taxes will go thru the roof. Violence will be an every day occurrence.
But, the rich, political, elite will protect themselves. Everyone else will suffer. It’ll be Venezuela, Sub Saharan Africa, take your pick, right there on the West Coast. And their policies will soon spill over to other states due to the mass exodus of folks.
Just let them secede, build a wall along the Southern Border and along the eastern border of California and let them have it.
“California departments will get the bottom of the barrel”.
Not exactly. If this passes it will be to purge all good officers and deputies state wide and replace them with political ones. Then the LEO’s will become a standing army of Left. California will become Venezuela on steroids. No middle class, the wealthy and connected, and the poor.
All your you have to do is look at Baltimore. They went after cops, blamed cops, prosecuted cops, and now complain that there is too much crime.
