Los Angeles Wants Weak Cops

For anyone living in Los Angeles, this is a call to action for you to stand up and speak out to your fellow citizens and to your city administration. The mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, is introducing changes to police recruitment that will allow less competent people to fill the role of an officer. Mayor Bass is looking to remove obstacles for new police recruits who fail in the qualifying process of training because there simply are not enough new enrollees. One of the basic training qualifications that she would like to investigate and potentially alter include physical fitness standards; the move comes at a time when she says she is looking to “diversify” police recruits…whatever that ends up meaning. Anytime you hear someone promote the idea of “diversity and inclusion” you can almost always find a more practical as well as cynical true cause.

Here's the scoop. During the summer of 2020, the United States allowed its cities to be completely sacked and overrun by leftist agitators. Whole communities turned on their police forces despite the fact that police were behaving properly throughout the United States overall according to the data. Riots became the norm as an expression of adolescent angst during lockdowns where young men had nothing else to do. District Attorneys and politicians allowed this and spat on their men in uniform. Police looked around and said….no thanks. They began early retirement in record numbers and the precinct enrollment plummeted by 60% following 2020. Los Angeles is still losing 50 officers per week! Crime is absolutely stunning in the City of Angels, and in recent summers the police commissioners of Los Angeles warned travelers not to drive nice cars into the city like something from Mad Max. There was a period of time where package transits were literally being sacked on a daily basis like an old west train robbery on steroids. Amazon had to rework some logistics to figure out how to avoid routing through these war-torn regions of Los Angeles. The police in many US regions and in L.A. are now self-defunded. As mentioned, they took early retirement, and qualified individuals stopped signing up to protect the public. You would have to be insane or extremely noble to sign up to be a police officer at present. Mayor Bass and other progressive leaders around the country are now adding a third category for new recruits…those who have few other options for employment.
