SHOCKER: Police Departments Are Having RECRUITING PROBLEMS

Why could this be? Maybe because people don’t want to work a job where they’re accused of being violent racists and targeted for assassination.

Edmund DeMarche of FOX News reported:

‘Who needs this?’ Police recruits abandon dream amid anti-cop climate

Police departments face a recruiting shortage amid a growing anti-cop mood that some fear has taken the pride out of peacekeeping and put targets on the backs of the men and women in blue.

Open calls for the killing of police have been followed by assassinations, including last week’s murder in Texas of a Harris County sheriff’s deputy. Instead of dialing back the incendiary rhetoric, groups including “Black Lives Matter” have instead doubled down at demonstrations with chants of “Pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon.” Public safety officials fear the net effect has been to demonize police, and diminish the job.

“It’s a lot harder to sell now,” Jeff Roorda, business manager of the St. Louis Police Officers Association and former state representative, told FoxNews.com. “This is a very real phenomenon.”
