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.
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

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.
milquetoast
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 ;)
If a secret must be kept by thousands of people then it’s not a secret for very long, imo. I don’t think these efforts are concerted.
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.
