Louisiana GOP Gov. Jeff Landry has declared a state of emergency due to a police officer shortage.
Landry’s executive order issued Thursday lifts limits on how many new employees Louisiana sheriffs can hire and on payroll increases for their departments.
Landry, who previously had a career in law enforcement, said that police departments in the state are experiencing record-low employments “resulting in increased crime and less public safety.” As of July, sheriff’s offices statewide were down 1,800 deputies, Landry said.
Have you read my comment? Have you thought about what I said? Have you considered the fact that the absolute majority of crime is reported by police departments?
Going off on a completely out of context rant that took you 5 minutes to write doesn’t do you any favors, only shows that you want to be mad, regardless of the reason.
Go be mad where it matters.
