Louisiana GOP Gov. Jeff Landry has declared a state of emergency due to a police officer shortage.
Landry’s executive order issued Thursday lifts limits on how many new employees Louisiana sheriffs can hire and on payroll increases for their departments.
Landry, who previously had a career in law enforcement, said that police departments in the state are experiencing record-low employments “resulting in increased crime and less public safety.” As of July, sheriff’s offices statewide were down 1,800 deputies, Landry said.
Is this just political theater or is this guy planning to recruit brownshirts into the police force?
This is somehow reminiscent of how the nazis came to power, including the milktoast reporting by mainstream media. If they continue to inject their brand of fascists into the system they’ll slowly gain more and more power and win.
I think this is an issue across America. My law enforcement friends comment on the recruiting issues and the reduced response times.
They could also be manufacturing the crisis and then taking advantage of this. Like mobbing the good cops to leave and then to be able to say “crisis!” and recruit more fascist cops.
Ahhh I’m just kidding there are no god cops and these guys aren’t that smart ;)
If a secret must be kept by thousands of people then it’s not a secret for very long, imo. I don’t think these efforts are concerted.
It doesn’t take smarts to follow orders. We’re primates - monkey see, monkey do - and even an idiot will have heard of “manufactured scarcity” by this point. I wouldn’t write off the evil inherent in and enabled by the system so easily if I were you.
For sure, those with money can hire the smartest sociopaths to create amazing strategies. I didn’t want to outright spout off a conspiracy theory, but see if there is any investigation showing some kind of organized takeover of the police.
Yep we are in the middle of a full on fascist surge, and the reprehensibles are gathering their troops. It’s going to get really bad soon and no one seems interested in actually addressing this.
Don’t worry I am sure the 2A amendment crowd will protect us.
Just because we are pro 2A does not mean we have any obligation to defend you. I have no intention of risking my life or the lives of my family to save others. My firearms are there to protect me and my family.
You have the same rights available to ensure your own safety. If you choose not to take agency for your own safety then that choice and its consequences are yours and yours alone.
I’m sure you’re neighbors will appreciate your well reasoned choice to ignore them and they totally won’t firebomb your house and take the guns from your toasty warm hands.
Your logic seems very flawed.
But it is better to have many guns and not need them, than have no guns and need one. I would encourage my neighbors to buy guns so everyone was prepared.
