There are growing concerns that the mass retirements of police officers throughout the country may lead to a national public safety crisis.
Between losing experienced law enforcement personnel and not having enough officers, some are suggesting the mass exodus will compromise people’s safety, especially in major U.S. cities.

It’s well known that Socialists WANT a Venezuelan rule of government.
FORBES -At Least 13 Cities Are Defunding Their Police Departments:*
At least 13 U.S. cities have cut funding from police department budgets or decreased officer numbers with several more in the process. As of last August: 2020/08/13/
Austin, Texas, was the latest city to announce a police defunding effort, with the City Council on Thursday voting unanimously to cut $150 million (roughly one third) from the police budget
Austin’s announcement closely follows the sweeping budget change approved by Seattle—a $3.5 million budget cut . The country’s two largest cities, New York and Los Angeles, approved budget cuts weeks after protests began—New York slashed $1 billion from its $5.6 billion operating budget while Los Angeles approved a $150 million budget cut from its budget. Also in California, San Francisco approved a $120 million cut to the police and sheriff’s department.*

Democrats are making everyone’s families less safe except for their Dem elites with their own protection forces.

What will the Super Rich Elites, do when their blue city mayors replace their city cops with Sharia Muslims and other social workers with BLMers/Antifas?
The fact that our cities will become far less safe means nothing to these untalented elitew. Why would it? Many of them have very elaborate security details, and don’t have to worry about their safety.
Those Elites hire our unemployed and well trained former Special Ops people and former tough cops. Who are no longer wanted in our worthless SJW/PC military and Blue Cities.
When hired, these new non cops will handle any protection issues their super rich Elites might need 24/7. That will include special preventive action as well as ‘neutralizing’, when needed.
These former special ops and former tough city cops in their new areas of action, will operate, react and control/end any issues without any problems from so called local cops/DA’s, mayors and the local mediots in the local media.
The blue city mayors and city council members will welcome these Special People, while slashing their own city police budgets and eliminating their regular police. Their costs will be minimized and their budgets will be balanced.
How many mayors/governors in Blue States/Cities would get rid of their police forces in a New York minute, if they were not opposed by their elites, who control them????
These former special ops and tough former cops might even protect members of Congress from Deploreables if they are needed like on 6 January, this year in our capitol building in DC.
Rich Hollywood Elite Turns Oscars Into Far-Left Hate Speech Targeting Cops:
Philadelphia and Baltimore are facing a shortage of qualified people applying to be cops:

You tube re current shortage of cops in cities:
Works for Deep State.
Their goal is likely to federalize all LE, remove local control and oversight.
If locals can’t do the policing, then expect jack booted Gestapo under orders from our own Hitler in the White House to take over..
The cities minus adequate cops....... not in numbers but in cop-ability will convert cities into Africa, Rhodesia, Congo, Mali, etc
Some cities including Baltimore and possibly Philadelphia are already no longer really America.
They have become AINO
American in name only
Political commentary
The Leftists will be happy to reduce the country to a pile of burning rubble as long as they are in charge, and on top of the pile.
No need to encourage them.
People are armed.
They will take care of things themselves if they must.
A federal police force is coming, no doubt. What they will replace is the small town good ole’ boy corrupt to the core police forces. You know, the ones that the cops, chief and judge all work together to shake the citizens down with trumped-up charges and vehicle infractions.
They kind of brought it on themselves actually. The future should be interesting.
When was the last time you actually saw cops contribute to public safety?
“...the cops, chief and judge all work together to shake the citizens down with trumped-up charges and vehicle infractions....”
I spent some time in LE and have had family and friends in all levels of LE and I know nothing any of which you speak.
Can you be more specific???
Number one, ANYONE who is looking at how things are shaking out and not making a solid plan of how to protect themselves and their family in the "new normal" is just foolish. Second, good on the cops. Right now anyone who remains or wants to be a cop is either reckless or extremely dedicated. What we have now puts every cop at risk every day.
Not only do elections have consequences what you allow is what you become.
In every communist country there is a loyal national police force. Eliminate all local policing agencies is the Democrat’s objective here for this country and it will be designed to protect the political thugs in DC. You know, like the DOJ and the FBI do now but on steroids!
Conservative people, for the most part, do not live in/near Third World Crap Holes and are usually armed and know how to use them.
This is the left’s grand plan. Destroy local policing and institute a federal police forces that has no local ties and answers only to DC. Biden and Maxine Waters wanted a mistrial in the Chauvin case to provoke more anti-police violence that would lead to even more police officers leaving the force.
The relaxation of standards for new recruits due to the push for more diversity will lead to even bigger problems.
***********************************************************
Have to admit I agree with you re “This is the left’s grand plan”. The media would not be intentionally removing images of guns/knives from videos in order to advance their evil narratives without there being some grand plan. What they are doing can not possibly be called accidental.
It's the reverse. Between The Ferguson Effect and that reality that these cities are bankrupt, these cities can't attract police officers so they find some rabble-rousers to scream "Defund the Police". They found black rabble-rousers especially because a very large percentage of black citizens in want more police and these cities can't hire them.
These politicians are looking right in the eyes of the citizens who want and need the police the most and telling them, "we're cutting police departments for you".
"Your loved one wasn't murdered, beaten, raped, or mugged because we ran this city into the ground. They were murdered, beaten, raped, or mugged because racist police needed to be defunded - that and Orange Man Bad."
national crisis? no.
blue state crisis? yes.
but that’s not new. dem leadership in those states deliberately staged political street theater by conducting riots during 2020 while telling the cops to stand down and do nothing... while people are harmed and businesses burned.
f*ck the left
On the commie federal level - where local city politics are just one more incentive to consider in the commie insurrection - I'm right.
“Destroy local policing and institute a federal police forces that has no local ties and answers only to DC.”
Bingo.
“It’s coming, let’s get on with it. A central police force to herd the sheep.”
With the way the military is purging itself of “probable domestic terrorist”, Biden will probably declare a national emergency and use the military for “crowd control”
