The situation is the same in almost every major city. Understrength police departments with no political backing from the muncipal governments.
I had literally the exact conversation with a CA police officer from a major city. He says he knows the Mayor, City Council, DA’s office and even the Police Chief are all Leftist stooges who almost WANT them to fail.
I guess the are part of the Globalist Cabal that want nationalized police force aided by the cell phone and Alexa spies.
