Culture problems must be dealt with by ethical politicians.
Crime problems - arresting suspects for the Court System to deal with - is the job of police.
Police are NOT babysitters, social workers or politicians. They identify people who have possibly broken the law and they bring them to the attention of a court system. That’s it. And that’s plenty. They deserve our respect and our support.
They get our support literally at gunpoint, which isn’t particularly conducive to any positive form of respect.
I posit that this outcome is inevitable when the neighborhood is populated with 3rd worlders who are utterly incapable of maintaining a complicated and civilized society such as ours.
There should be special police for those folks.
“—arresting suspects for the court system to deal with—”
Arresting the same suspects over and over, only to see them back on the streets and escalating to more violent crimes, then STILL getting only probation or minor sentences by lefty lib judges, is a constant source of stress for officers.
A very few cops just snap and go postal on a perp. Others figure why bother to arrest, and some even start shaking down dope dealers, taking their cash and drugs.
The dealers figure the bribes are just part of doing bidness.
There are far more apathetic, demoralized, look-the-other-way cops than killer cops.
Not condoning this, just saying it is what it is. The revolving door legal system is the problem, IMO.
