Ok, so get rid of those police officers who risk their lives daily, because you must “defund” them because far left wing nuts say you have to, then when crime goes up hire trigger happy citizens for $150 a day. With a little training, send them out to fight bath salted crazies. Makes perfect sense right?
Who says they’re trigger happy?
Deputizing civilians had been a long standing policy in the past.
For example in Wis. at one time until the 1990’s all town board and city board members where considered peace officers.
The sheriffs would issue what where called dollar a year deputy cards. Meaning he pay then a dollar a year.
With the change from peace officer to Law Enforcement officers and all the training requirements.
That came with that the old peace officers went away.

Actually it makes perfect sense. Maybe you should do some research. There are millions of citizens carrying firearms right now. How many of them are “trigger happy?” Yep, zero.
There are also millions of gang bangers and criminals carrying guns. Wanna hazard a guess on trigger happiness among them? Yep, much higher and with zero training.
...today’s NYC cops are overpaid. On a 5 day week and 52 weeks a year cops earn approximately $504.00 per day (i.e $126,000 per year).
When you add pensions and other benefits it’s way more than that.
The taxpayers quite simply cannot afford more COPS. We will have to transition to a combination of quasi volunteers (i.e. low paid, no pensions) and full time professional cops.
” hire trigger happy citizens “
How do you know that? Do you carry?
That’s not at all what he said. Not even a little bit. These folks would protect infrastructure from looters... Just like the rooftop Koreans did in LA or those black folks in WI during the BLM riots. Geez.
You don't know what you are talking about.
I live in this county. I don't recall the police here being defunded.
You sound like Nancy Pelosi. Or the Editorial Board of the Washington Post.
