    Police departments are shrinking

    Yeah, she'll be a big help in a scrum. First sign of resistance from a suspect, she'll be blasting.

      I came on in 1990 .
      The average cop was a Black , White ,
      Hispanic , or ocassional Asian man.

      Some weren't huge .
      Some were huge .
      If they weren't house mouses , they
      would fight like honey badgers .

      You're radio didn't work downstairs
      in the subways . Those men were
      extra vicious , if need be .

      A lot of martial arts and boxers .

      The Academy took away the 5 foot
      wall you had to go over to graduate.

      This , plus recruitment changes ,
      completely changed the dynamic
      of my job.

      Now , the average cop on my job
      is a short , extremely fat girl , with
      a bad attitude .

      The average male cop comes up
      to my rib cage and weighs half of me.

      They're either not trained or terribly
      trained in hand to hand combat .
      They play patty cake and try to wrestle
      cuffs on violent perps. They wind up striking
      him 10 to 20 times without any effect .

      It ALWAYS looks bad on camera .

      If you only hit the perp once or twice
      and end it , it doesn't look as bad .

      No one really wants my job any more .
      Very few are generational .
      it used to always be

        Reminds me of Mordacai the sheriff in the movie High Plains Drifter.

          Very true. The ones qualified for the job are smart enough to see that the job isn't what it used to be. Nobody wants to be the next Derek Chauvin. I'm so glad I got out nine years ago.

            Lots of big city L.O.s migrate to Fla. and if they want to stay in the same line of work join up down here. Were lucky to be in a gun friendly state with a we want and essentially support our police down here. This makes for essentially a good relationship with the police who will give you a break in a heartbeat if your not an A hole.
            Lots of young military vets are joining up. Our vets reunion in Melbourne Fl. each year my talking to a deputy kind of summed it up. Around 1/2 a dozen deputies to watch over thousands of us vets and I asked one if that was enough in case of problems? "Problems? Were getting the hell out of the way you guys are slinging more big irons than us we will do the paperwork when its over."

              That female is small but not tiny small. Look at them both in relation to the table behind them? That male officer is like huge big huge. Yah never know she might be a female Bruce Lee and start spinning and kicking if trouble starts.

                This is just one trend in law enforcement I find very alarming. I can't conceive what they are thinking. I understand things evolve but there are certain immutable truths that remain unchanged across decades. There are physical demands in policing. Command presence is a thing. It is on the use of force continuum. Hiring these little girls is placing them, their partners and the public in harms way. There used to be standards. Now its hire anybody to fill a slot, let them wear baseball caps, grow beards and sleeve tattoos. The job is dead.

                  "Come on down to the Sunshine State"...remember that old commercial? We stand behind our cops and don't take crap from criminals.
                  Sometimes I wish I had a Harry Potter's wand and make people go up into smoke.

                    Ours are so fat they have to lay down on their sides and roll downhill to catch up with fleeing criminals. Mostly their job entails providing armed security for drug dealers.

                      Affirmative .
                      No one wants to be a government punching bag .
                      We are both done with the government jobs.
                      I'm very close to being done with private work also .

                          Man your city is rapidly becoming Iran west Merc what the hell is going on up their? Now your mayor Mandingo 'commie' is starting to bring in bus loads of ILLEGALS again. His wife 'documented' is a card carrying Taliban member. Granted their is a huge number of minorities in the city which controls the vote 'Dumbocrat' but hell even the Jewish leaders supported this idiot when he was running for office.
                          The wealthy are leaving the city as fast as possible heading down here or Texas with their businesses. N.Y. city is essentially bankrupt. Best git out while the gettin is good buddy.

                          Mamdani Screams “LET THEM IN”… as Illegals Launch MEXICO TO NYC PIPELINE (18 hours ago).

                            At least she has the balls to put on the uniform, that is more than I can say for all the fake tough guys waddling around. I mean, after all, most men are not willing to step up now are they?
