Okay but how many of these "new hires" were previously fired from other departments, or quit in protest when their license to kill got questioned?

Exactly. I imagine Floridas numbers show growth since they're a "sanctuary state" for the worst of the worst cops.
State laws were changed and this guy is under Federal investigation and the family of the person he killed moved to a different city... Only for this cop to be hired in the city the family fled to trying to avoid death threats and harassment.
Local cops didn't give one flying fuck that this guys fuckups changed state laws and he is still under Federal investigation.
So yeah, they just hire the fuckups from elsewhere. And I'm in a "progressive state."
Don’t fool yourself. Those officers get rehired in new departments rather quickly. They’re already trained, so it’s far less expensive, and much more efficient, to hire them over a new candidate.
And they are all getting proper and extensive training right?
Down in Cop City, just outside of Atlanta! For all of your cop needs.
Only the most rigorous 6-week training courses offered at their local community colleges.
These protesting college kids aren’t going to bash their own skulls in.
They're probably still shortstaffed, but around my area they've starred hiring $15/hr pseudo cops that only do papwrrork and control traffic.
Just had to call this one out:
... Maria “Maki” Haberfeld, chair of the Department of Law, Police Science and Criminal Justice Administration at John Jay College of Criminal Justice said. “It’s not about tattoos or running a mile in 15 minutes. ...”
If it takes you 15 minutes to "run" a mile, you aren't actually running.
Some of us are out of shape, I got my mile down to 23 min and I’m proud of the improvement from where I was - meanwhile I’m in better shape than a lot of veteran cops I’ve met, but not the fit or new guys
I got my mile down to 23 min and I’m proud of the improvement from where I was
And that really is great for you. I wish you all the best in seeking to better yourself.
But, a 15 minute mile is a fast walking pace. And when talking about police officers, I'd expect a bit more fitness than "I don't die of a heart attack when faced with a flight of stairs". Sure, I recognize that they are more likely to use a radio to outrun a suspect (and that's how it should work); but, they are also somewhat likely to face situations where physical exertion is expected.
