Louisiana GOP Gov. Jeff Landry has declared a state of emergency due to a police officer shortage.
Landry's executive order issued Thursday lifts limits on how many new employees Louisiana sheriffs can hire and on payroll increases for their departments.
Landry, who previously had a career in law enforcement, said that police departments in the state are experiencing record-low employments “resulting in increased crime and less public safety.” As of July, sheriff's offices statewide were down 1,800 deputies, Landry said.
This is somehow reminiscent of how the nazis came to power,
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.
