And the follow up to that revelation is to realize that the local governments of dem controlled cities,counties and towns have steadily weeded out LEO applicants, selecting compliant police commissioners, chiefs of police who have gradually removed old school cops from mid level commands...as well as decreeing changes in the police academies.
In my 70 + years I've had a number of LEO acquaintances and friends, ranging from HS buddies who as cadets emptied parking meters, to metro, county, and state troopers...even a DEA agent or two. Over the decades they have remarked on those policy and political changes with great concern. I'm sure some retired LEOs on this board have seen the same.
Small town and rural county LEOs, I believe, have thus far rejected the Dem Big City approach as far as I have seen.
