Article on the massive numbers of retirements in city police forces. Minneapolis has lost permanently or due to leave of absence 20% of its police force.


“"...Even ones that aren’t eligible to collect a pension check — if you’ve got five years on and you’ve got other options, I can see officers exploring it,” Catanzara said. “And what is this city going to do? You literally just handed the keys to the criminals.

“They have just made policing in this city and state near-impossible,” the police union boss said. “They have given control to the criminals.”"

Gotta love how these democratic mayors allowed for the riots and looting and all these crazies wanting to defund the police. The police weren't supported so why stick around. Of course the morale was awful. What did these democratic mayors expect? And now with Biden in, they know it will be more of the same.

Yep, well known fact that the most crime ridden cities are run by Democrats. Go figure.
