| [Daily Caller] Droves of officers left at least six Democrat-led major cities’ police forces in 2022, with many moving to different departments, multiple outlets reported. Scores of officers resigned from police departments amid low morale, a continuing violent crime wave and higher paying police jobs in other places, according to multiple reports. Texas Christian University Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and policing professor Johnny Nhan told the Daily Caller News Foundation that low morale has become a major problem in many police departments.

"It’s anything from apathy to hostility that they’re facing. They’re afraid of accusations of being racist or being brutal, they’re filmed all the time, so that does something to the officers. They’re feeling like, ’Hey, there’s a lot of legal risk being a cop these days.'" About 1,225 officers in their first five years of service resigned from America’s largest local police force, the New York City Police Department (NYPD), in the first 11 months of 2022, according to New York City Police Pension Fund data cited by The New York Times. "Other communities are recognizing the talent and are poaching our members," New York City Police Benevolent Association President Patrick J. Lynch told the outlet. "If we pay our police officers a market rate of pay, they will stay here." A market rate of pay AND support from the political class and society at large.
Robberies and aggravated assaults across 70 law enforcement agencies’ jurisdictions respectively rose by about 13 and 2.6% in the first half of the year compared to the same part of 2021, while homicides fell by roughly 2.5%, according to a Major Cities Chiefs Association report. San Diego Police Department (SDPD) Police Union President Jered Wilson said the department lost more than 50 officers between July 1 and Sept. 29, according to Fox 5 San Diego. More than 60 officers who had resigned from the SDPD from July 2021 through June 2022 moved to different law enforcement agencies, The Los Angeles Times reported. And how many were because they were unvaxxed? "They see the urban decay that is really occurring in San Diego, and they are fleeing with their families, they are fleeing with their careers," Wilson said, according to Fox 5. San Diego County hit its highest mid-year violent crime rate in ten years by the end of June 2022, accompanied by a 4% spike in homicides and a 15% increase in robberies, SANDAG reported. | |

| #5 It is the Waffle House effect on a grand scale. Criminals know that there are very few cops, neighborhood people won’t be giving cops info and DAs are more likely to prosecute cops than thugs. Cops will make as few arrests as possible if they are trying to just get to retirement. When an arrest is made, the broken relationship with the public results in zero leads and a stack of unsolved cases. Good young cops realize that there is little chance of them navigating the toxic environment all the way to retirement and test the Free Agent market. It is sort of like the military recruiting situation but with less hope for a solution. |
