Hmmm, I'd like to see the crime statistics before and after this shortage.

Is this just political theater or is this guy planning to recruit brownshirts into the police force?
This is somehow reminiscent of how the nazis came to power, including the milktoast reporting by mainstream media. If they continue to inject their brand of fascists into the system they'll slowly gain more and more power and win.

Yep we are in the middle of a full on fascist surge, and the reprehensibles are gathering their troops. It's going to get really bad soon and no one seems interested in actually addressing this.
Yeah. Antifa. They've been fighting fascists since 1920s and part of their rationale for autonomous action is that the state is just notoriously bad at opposing fascism. That's why they protest against right wing fascist gateway speakers on campuses, because fascist speech / well crafted lies is fascist recruitment. Unfortunately well meaning "liberals" like e.g. Bill Maher then always come out of the woodwork and say bla bla free speech lol.
There is also liberal fascism that uses legal means but that's already pretty active in the US.
Sorry if I'm telling you something you already know :) But liberals like Bill Maher
But liberals like Bill Maher suck.

Haha oops! Yeah he's just an example though. Well I'd say they grew up and lived in a time where the economy had real growth so there were opportunists and they got wealthy - so they fundamentally don't understand the power of fascism as material conditions deteriorate. They are stupid and that is dangerous.
Exactly. Some of us have been calling out fascists lies for our entire adult lives. Standing strong to attack them when they march.
Don't worry I am sure the 2A amendment crowd will protect us.
This is why all those on the left need to be armed. You're only doing yourself and others a disservice allowing fascist to have force multipliers.

I think this is an issue across America. My law enforcement friends comment on the recruiting issues and the reduced response times.
They could also be manufacturing the crisis and then taking advantage of this. Like mobbing the good cops to leave and then to be able to say "crisis!" and recruit more fascist cops.
Ahhh I'm just kidding there are no god cops and these guys aren't that smart ;)
It doesn't take smarts to follow orders. We're primates - monkey see, monkey do - and even an idiot will have heard of "manufactured scarcity" by this point. I wouldn't write off the evil inherent in and enabled by the system so easily if I were you.
For sure, those with money can hire the smartest sociopaths to create amazing strategies. I didn't want to outright spout off a conspiracy theory, but see if there is any investigation showing some kind of organized takeover of the police.
Seems ridiculous.
Maybe they should look at reducing crime from the start, instead of just attacking it after its already underway. Better schooling and other social programs, maybe? Give people people enough prosperity so that they'll have something they want to protect, instead of having nothing to lose.
Not profitable. They need more slaves for the Angola ~~Plantation~~ Prison.
Nah dawg gotta feed that slave labor machine
You are suggesting things far beyond the capacity of anyone in Louisiana's government. Republicunts are always reactionaries and don't even consider problems until they are in their face and then they choose to attack the symptom and not the disease.

I’m originally from Louisiana but have been away for awhile. I know that this is a problem in New Orleans, which we still visit on a regular basis, and while it was bad when I lived there, I read local news and hear from friends that it’s even worse now.
The rest of the state - outside of a few random areas here and there, depending on trends that just affect these sorts of things regardless - I would be surprised if this is a real “crisis” everywhere else vs Landry (who is a major POS btw) just wanting to lock more people up in the private prisons that allegedly may help to fund his political ambitions.
Landry is a garbage person who looooooves “law & order”, is a Trump sycophant, and who will allegedly make decisions based on what will “own the libs” the most. He’s trash. I cannot explain how awful this person is.
NO and BR always have had bad crime. Seems like authoritarian ideology bubbling to the surface again.
Hmm, I wonder why no one wants to be a pig? 🤔
Nobody wants to be a pig, or live in Louisiana.

Nasty ass teleprompter
I thought Louisiana had a surplus of pigs
The shortage is real despite how he's trying to play political theater with it.
Washed up cops like to set up shop in Louisiana thinking no one will see their backgrounds and then get fired once their terrible demeanor is exposed. Some Police Chiefs are also corrupt so it's hard for them to keep the good workers.
And all of that is before some of them get arrested for crimes themselves. It's a shit show.
