[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All you Elrich voters, make sure to call Elrich and not the police if your home gets broken into, or your child is getting the sh1t beat out of them.  Elrich knows better than cops how to stop these criminals.[/quote]

Interesting that you should choose to bring up a “child … getting the sh1t beat out of them” as a reason to support cops.

As to your first point, I’ll assume that you’re familiar with Breonna Taylor — and how incidents like this impact how many of us view mindsets that are completely without nuance in their support of policing.

There are many points to be made for increased policing. Most of them can’t effectively be made, let alone implemented, without addressing some deep-seated systemic issues that become even more important when the armed police officers charged to serve and protect do exactly the opposite.

DP. Reducing staffing levels is unlikely to improve morale and decrease stress for officers. Further, the officers that have any other alternative employment will take it. That's not going to leave MoCo with the best of the best, but the exact opposite. And finally, the first thing cut from any budget is training. Which will make you call for further decreases in budget and staffing due to ineffectiveness.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.[/quote]
