Police Chiefs & Commissioners are political appointees.
Since most major city Mayors are Dems, the top LEOs are hacks who were neutered prior to elevation.
Their pronouncements on “effective law enforcement” only reflect policies that have failed for decades.
They are happy to have the Mob and gangbangers run the streets at the risk of the lives of law enforcement and law abiding citizens.
Yup. Plenty of bangers with weapons. Law abiding? Nuh uh!
Didn’t the Detroit police chief (before he took that job) get properly educated about law abiding people and guns by spending time in Maine or somewhere else like that where practically every one has guns accompanied with low crime and violence rates?
