An Early Warning That Policing May Be in Decline | Police departments across the country are solving far fewer crimes than they did before 2020.

While headlines tend to focus on falling clearance rates in large liberal cities, the decline occurred nationwide in both red and blue cities, counties and states. The violent crime clearance rate, for example, fell considerably between 2019 to 2022 in big cities, which tend to be led by Democrats, as well as in small cities and suburban and rural counties, which tend to be led by Republicans.
They don't even do that...
At most they'll do the paperwork to get any video footage from private business, but for the most part unless that randomly happens to see you breaking the law you'll never get caught.
They tried a "slowdown strike" a couple years ago, and realized they really could just not do anything and still get paid. Even better, higher crime rates means more overtime. Not just from the force, but businesses afraid of being robbed.
Cops can get paid 100/hr to sit outside of a liquor store in a cop car and burn gas all night their department pays for.
Very few people are dumb enough to rob that store while the cop is there, so there's 0% risk. Cops just sit on their phones the whole time.
They have every incentive in the world for crime to bad as possible.
That's racist! As a white person I have also been harassed by the police. They are indiscriminate with their discrimination. How dare you make assumptions.
Okay dude, chill. It was meant as a joke.
It was a joke because you put light to it and they didn't like the shadow it cast. Had there been no shadow, no light, there would be no remorse.
What? I absolutely was joking. You should really take people at their word until they prove otherwise dude.
