Same difference - how are they going to FIND 2,000 cops that want to work in that crap hole?
Other than the ones that were disciplined and dismissed from other police forces and shouldn’t be cops...
Hiring 10,000 more will do nothing except possibly provide more targets. Virtually nothing is prosecuted there and what ever sneaks through is pled down to time served.
By hiring criminals to provide police protection, the program combines restorative justice with reducing the number of criminals/inmates by giving them a badge & authority.
Not to mention the amazingly huge reduction in the number of “illegal guns” on the streets.
Chicago could hire Afghan refugees, but most would rather go back to Kabul because it is both safer and the Taliban are more supportive that the Chicago mayor and council.
