First no one is asking for the reduction in police staff. They are only asking for the police to conduct themselves like the public defenders they are paid to be. Stop profiling people of color and social status. Stop shooting to kill first and then asking questions later. And stop employing folks that are afraid of their job.
"No one is asking for the reduction in police staff"?
Really, I have heard all of the below, even coming from Democrat officials
"Reduction, doing away with completely, retraining, and of course there is the politicians that state "they really don't mean doing away with the police force, when they say "Do away with the police force"
One thing for sure is almost Every shooting of an unarmed black man has been in a Democrat city after Ferguson, and Democrats have done nothing to fix the problem, unless bitching about it fixes anything
You are incredibly naive if you think it's only the bad cops who are quitting.
He's an expert, after all he's a Democrat, they have fixed things in their cities Since Ferguson almost everyone of these Democrat cities have gotten worse. These Idiots they elect every year get worse and worse. They don't even have to elect a Republican, Independent, or Wig for that matter, they could at least get in another Den that could solve the problem. On the other hand they seem to only get worse, see: AOC, and her nuttso Islamist friends Tlaib, Illness Omar, and the ever crazy Presley. Maybe these young Radicals can solve the problems
The never-ending crybaby Liberals want to defund the police but the first time their house is broken into and robbed, they will be the first to call the police.
Lol, yes!

Jo Ann Hardesty, Portland city commissioner, calls 911, refuses to get out of Lyft car after driver cancels ride
The encounter puts a spotlight on Hardesty at a time when the veteran politician has worked to shift money away from the Portland police budget and tried to find alternatives to relieve police of handling a flood of 911 reports on scenarios that don’t involve crimes.
we're already seeing it starting.
who in their right mind would want to be a cop in this climate where even doing exactly the right thing gets one branded as a 'racist,' and nearly every incident involving a non-white suspect and a white cop is instantly branded by the MSM and most leftists as 'racist' despite not an iota of evidence?
I hope some cops do quit. I hope there is more stringent training, and I hope the officers who remain are OK wearing body cams, and report fellow officers who act poorly. Transitions and improvements in any group of people are never easy.
This idea completely disregards human nature.
What you're - we're - going to end up with is people who want to exercise control over others. No good person wants to deal with what cops are only beginning to have to deal with. The OP was dead on balls accurate about that. Who does that leave doing the job? Bad people.
You guys really need to start thinking this stuff through. Like really put time, effort and genuine contemplation into it. It seems like nobody does, and we're dissolving as a society because of it.
