Defund? Really? SHAME…SHAME…On You!!! How Soon We Forget…

Aug 13, 2020

Did we forget so quickly the people who ran back into the Twin Towers on 9/11? For those of you who may have forgotten, there were 71 officers who died that day.

 

Did we forget who ran in front of us to protect us the day of the Boston Marathon bombings? Those were Boston and State Police Officers.

 

Did we forget who the first responders were during the Aurora, Colorado Theater Shooting, the many school shootings, and the other mass shootings in concert halls, and the like, that have taken place in the past? So, were there some asshole cops there? I’m sure there were, but I bet there were some other assholes there too. It wasn’t just the cops, but I think this just points out that there’s just as many, if not more, many more good ones than bad ones.

Municipalities have been "defunding the Police" for last 40 yrs.....When we needed body armor, upgrade from .38 spl revolvers, new portable radios to communicate with dispatchers for help, and SRT equipment, it was done through donations, fund raisers and a member of the department who spent 50% of his time writing federal grant requests to the Government.... Defunding the police department is nothing new folks and it is time for change all right. Time we also make pay comensurate with the job at hand, including pay increases (Quinn Bill) equal to ones level of college education. Time we stop making the Local Law Enforcement Agencies sacrafice their training budgets for city and town non-essential projects. The aspects and expectations of the job has morphed into one of responding to everything from food order complaints at fast food joints to dealing with an armed person with severe mental health issues. Meanwhile, officers are expected to deal with all of "todays issues" using the same exact equipment they were equipped with some 100 yrs ago....a badge, a gun, pair of cuffs and common sense.
