Considering the war on cops for the last several years, I’m surprised anyone wants the jobs.

Can’t imagine why :)
Fireman, sanitation, bus driver, Parks..there are lots of city jobs you can get where you wont face 20 years in prison for defending yourself.

This is all by design. Arm yourselves, folks. It’s going to come down to them or you.

Here are some solutions to the cop shortage.
1. Round up the illegal alien criminals and send them back to their own country for jailing.
2. Keep our convicted criminals in prison for their entire sentence since repeat offenders are so common.
Both of these solutions would reduce the number of bad people cops would encounter.

I remember when everyone wanted to be a cop. Now? Not so much. Cops have become targets. At this rate, they’ll need more cops to simply protect the existing cops.

Quit using cops to levy taxes you can’t pass at city hall. That will make the job more palatable.

Funny I haven't noticed any reduction in the number of speed traps fun raisers that I see. I guess they have their priorities.

I have two years to go, and then it’s somebody else’s turn at-bat.
It’s been a hoot, but it’s getting weirder every day. And to borrow a line from Det. Murtaugh, “I’m gettin’ too old for this sh*t!”

Cops are only there to get shot at and prosecuted if they use self defense.
Many no longer are interested.

After 8 years of Obama doing everything he could to attack police (and the military) who would want to be a cop?
