Here’s the report, from Fox News today:
Blue line getting thinner in West Coast states as police take refuge in Idaho
High concentration of retired and active first responders in Idaho not a coincidence, says former California High Patrol officer[.]
California is losing its law enforcement officers to a red state—imagine that! Men and women whose job may require them to lay their lives on the line, who handle some of the scummiest and darkest realities in the history of humanity, want to be respected and supported by their employers and community? No kidding.
And it’s not just a few cops here and there—deep blue pro-crime cities are hemorrhaging law enforcement officers:
Cities large and small across the country suffered severe staffing shortages on the heels of anti-police protests in 2020. Four years later, some departments still can’t stop the bleeding.
Seattle’s police staffing is at its lowest level since the 1990s, according to a March KING 5 report. Earlier this year in California, the Alameda Police Department offered a $75,000 signing bonus — the highest in the nation — on top of a six-figure starting salary to try to entice new officers.
Of course the lawlessness of the “defund the police” agenda, which isn’t really an accountability movement in bureaucratic policing (like I’d like to see) but a pro-crime and anti-law enforcement agenda, is obnoxious (and unacceptable) enough, because the citizens and the people suffer tremendously, especially the most vulnerable people us: minority communities which are pervaded by violent crime that’s already high enough, and the children in such communities who are subjected to terrible abuses.

Those uniforms look so dowdy. How long do you suppose before those homos hire someone from Hugo Boss to design something a little more snappy?
Now it is 1984
Knock, knock at your front door
It's the suede denim secret police
They have come for your uncool niece
Come quietly to the camp
You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp
Don't you worry, it's only a shower
For your clothes, here's a pretty flower
“To what do you attribute that attitude?”
It is based on personal experience and matter of fact.
I grew up inside the “blue circle” in Ca and am now inside the “blue circle” in Az.
There is absolutely a world of difference when it comes to respecting the citizenry.
I detect a possible connection with authority in your question. I could write you a book on the differences based on extensive personal close experience.
I would like to see Police be Constitutionally mandated Peace Officers like Sheriffs and Marshalls, and Constitutionally Trained.
I believe we could improve conditions for Law Enforcement Peace Officers and Law Abiding Citizens at the same time.
Pick the Best, train 'em Constitutionally and properly, pay and support them well, treat and deploy them fairly, and demand Professionalism.
I suspect you are right.
AND according to CNN “latinos” who support Trump has “a stupid mindset.”
I’ve watched quite a few body cam footages of arrests on youtube. It seems all the younger cops in big cities have full arm tattoos partnered up with very obese black women.
Same here, no cops, no stoplights,low taxes, no worries.
