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.
Yeah it is good, the cops aint gonna help ya if the fascist pull some shit. At least if everyones armed we can make the bloodshed equal.
And eye for an eye leaves the world blind.
You know the Middle East used to be height of human civilization.
The middle east is in a bad place largely do to empire fuckery not folks arming themselves. I simply disagree with the whole eye for an eye shit, especially when it comes to fascists. If you could defeat a fascist by shoving a thumb up your ass the world would be a far better place. Authoritarians of all stripes fascist or not can only be truly dealt with via violence or the implication there of.
Pacifism is simply a cowards way to claim bravery.
Yeah yeah everyone blames the British. Entire region has been madness and war for over 20 centuries.
But do go on and tell me how your school shooting machine is going to protect us all against a fucking drone targetted via satellites. Hey when that whole kids in cages thing was going down why didn’t you use your school shooter to free those kids?
