And you only get mugged if you go downtown”

Houston’s police chief has resigned after emails obtained by a local news outlet appear to show that he knew about massive failures in the department well before he said he did. Within hours of issuing a statement about the findings, he resigned.
In February, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner first announced that the Houston Police Department dropped 264,000 crime reports, including violent crimes and sexual assaults, which weren’t investigated because a “lack of personnel” code was assigned to them, The Center Square reported.
In March, new Houston Mayor John Whitmire appointed an independent panel to review an internal HPD investigation into how the hundreds of thousands of criminal incident reports fell through the cracks. When Finner apologized at a news conference for the code being used, he said he first learned of its use in November 2021. He also said he told his senior leadership team to make sure it was no longer used.
Hours later, he submitted his resignation to Mayor John Whitmire, who accepted it. Whitmire sent a notification to HPD that he had accepted Finner’s immediate resignation and had appointed Larry Satterwhite as Acting Chief of Police on May 8.

Right. For example, the Pittsburgh police recently announced that they will not be responding to a whole list of crimes. Burglary in progress? Police will be sent. Burglar has already left? They’ll just take a report over the phone.
People will soon get the idea that it’s not worth making the 911 call. Presto, crime is down.
Exactly. Just like in Tom Clancy's book Debt of Honor: If it's not written down it didn't happen.
“The interest is up and the stock market’s down
And you only get mugged if you go downtown”
Guessed right, AGAIN!
If Trump didn’t run this year, I was going to write in “Bocephus”.

Another affirmative action Hire success story. /s/
Most of the time, your safety depends largely on the like-minded civility of your fellow community members.
I’m amazed at citizens, who are shocked that crime would intrude on their lives.
Many crimes are crimes of opportunity and you should always be aware that they can happen to you anytime and anywhere.
Cops can’t be there when you need them. So, become proficient and carry concealed like the crooks do.
It doesn’t matter who they hire for the job, the cops won’t be allowed to do their jobs because it might adversely affect some members of a politically active interest group.
City Hall doesn’t care if your concerns are addressed or not!
I wonder how much of the force is DEI, quota hires, and affirmative action.
