Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry has declared a state of emergency due to a police officer shortage in the state.

Louisiana sheriffs’ offices are down approximately 1,800 deputies statewide, according to the Louisiana Sheriffs' Association. Employment is at a record low, and police response times have slowed as a result.

I'm surprised, down there they can get away with killing minorities easier, so why the shortage?

Rhetoric like this is what is causing the shortage, and also there are a lot of cops who are doing good things for the minorities in LA.....

My WAG is that the pay for police in Louisiana sucks compared to the alternatives.

Besides calling attention to the problem, what does declaring a state of emergency do for this problem? It's not something that happened overnight. It's probably the result of poor governance and years of bad decisions made by those in control.

I sure hope they aren't looking for more federal bailout money.

Go fuck yourself. The cops don't want any accountability, The only training they want is to treat everyone as a death threat, And they refuse to report bad cops and encourage that behavior.

We need a complete overhaul of the police department. The culture of policing this country is fucked. We need better trained and more accountable police. And I mean a lot more trained. Not this 6-month nonsense That barely teaches anything except you can die at any moment and how to do some paperwork. No deescalation training nothing of depth.

The second there's even a threat of accountability, They don't want to deal with it.

I would enjoy the sea food I think. Also I love the accents. But with everything it would be a mixed bag because everywhere I go there I am. We are the world. It is our reflection, the product of attitude. How is yours. You would start off handicapped because you are already imagining it to happen only by force. Didn't anybody tell you that if you just smile the world smiles with you? So smile you stupid fuck.

Now now, just kidding to show you how easy it is to get triggered. If you're smiling congrats. Love you.

Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

I'm going to dig out my wild frozen I have in the freezer. I think my favorite is Tempura shrimp. Done right requires quite a bit of technique. I seldom e order it anymore because I suspect most in restaurants is farmed. I imagine filthy ponds, sadly.

You're right, but the middle class doesn't want to see accountability because they're afraid it hinders cops from doing their jobs.

Bullshit. No one has ever said that or implied.
Where I live, most of us in the middle class think the cops are worthless. They're more concerned with eating donuts than they are helping people.

The cops here aren't worth two shits.

This is a good thing but is also probably a lie: The LA/NO police force is the most corrupt in the nation, and has been for a very long time. Less LA police means vastly less crime--because all of those cops are abject criminals.

Have you seen Long Island and places like Florida? Most middle class white people love the police. Who do you think created the Blue Lives Matter reaction to Black Lives Matter?

The only people who talk like this is the cop union or people with punisher thin blue line decals on their truck.
Which comprises the white middle class--from the NOLA white flight suburb Metairie, to Long Island to Little Havana.

I guess you're okay with vigilantes and racial goons coming out like it was in the 40s, 50s, 60s? That and the open carry gun crap in LA will make the state more violent as it is already.

Sadly, yes, hence why NOPD has a consent decree.
