“The problem is that the only modern police recruits are the bullies from high school who would set small animals on fire”
BS - pulled right r=from the Lefty playbook.
Known too many thugs in blue. And the sad part is the Thin Blue Line syndrome tends to protect the thugs, even when good LEOs won't trust them.
Here in the Portland area, the PPD chased out all the good cops. They took early retirement, or moved to suburban PDs in the Portland/Vancouver area. They would be the first to admit that it's easy to get an "Us vs Them" attitude, particularly when the city government is fishing for votes from the cartels and street gangs.
The Portland PD is 300 short of minimal staffing. Most neighborhoods don't even get a daily drive thru. Last year, the Urban Gang Unit consisted of one man at a desk.
Last week, a new DA won the primary, on a rebuild the PD platform, sh!tcanning Dan Schmitt, who bragged that he was Antifa. Now, who are those new recruits going to be? Psycho, badge heavy dregs, in black ninja pants, with sap gloves, itching to get their gun off.
Go ahead. Deny it.
