Rickochet I saw something on the news this morning that St. Louis had 328 vacancies for police officers. That does not include the 100 vacancies that were canceled by the defunding police administration
Not sure what this has to do what happened today in Kansas City. 🙄 Included in the 800 law enforcement on the ground at the parade were federal, state and local law enforcement.
The issue in Kansas City wasn’t enough law enforcement on the ground. The issue is easy access to guns. They seem to have no restrictions in Missouri.
Again, the issue in these mass shootings isn’t enough law enforcement. It’s gun culture / lax gun laws and easy access to guns. Arguments that obfuscate the real issue aren’t helpful.
No need to hold our breath, we’ll be on to the next mass shooting (49th) in two shakes of a lambs tale. Meanwhile we’ll offer our thoughts and prayers. Which sadly doesn’t seem to do much.😞 Sadness doesn’t cut it. Anger is needed here.

“Despite Republican claims, police in the largest Democrat-run cities have not been defunded.”
