Yeah, but who's gonna protect the citizens now from all the thugs and gang bangers? Now that they're jobless, the ex-police are gonna have way more time to harass brown people and shoot dogs without the constant need to fill out use-of-force reports.
The police are the thugs and gang bangers; now they'll have to do their harassment without the sanction of the law behind them
What law? Didn't you hear? All dem good apples up and left cuz the city wouldn't concede to their good-apple extortion.

Dw the meth head down the street has you covered
Especially now that he's unemployed
And nothing of value was lost.
I generally agree with the ACAB sentiment, but they were being paid $22 an hour which is a pittance. I wouldn't do the job for that salary either.
Pay depends on the area, if everyone else is making 13 then 22 is a kings salary. Should it work that way at this point? No but it does and being a cop statistically is less dangerous than my job.

So right now with our current — trying to hire at $22 an hour, you're never going to see another person again walk through those doors. That's it," Smith said. "Unless you guys do a dramatic change."
Smith stressed the urgency of the matter and said smaller police departments he has looked into pay at least $30 an hour.
I wonder if these cops support raising the minimum wage.
I'd be a cop for that. A good one that doesn't just look for reasons to murder.
You mean actual community policing?

Finally, a city with good police.
FUCK EMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
You're free. Do something other than police. You kinda have to, now.

Part of the reason we have issues with the police force and their policing is that they aren’t treated like professionals and held to professional standards. We need to pay them like the professionals too, even if that means we hire less.
Police make hundreds of thousands of dollars with overtime in many places even low level officers.

Contract out with the county. A city of 1000 does not need a full time officer let alone two full time ones and five part time officers.

So having resigned (quit) they are not eligible for unemployment, I assume.
I would not assume anything when it comes to unemployment. I’ve seen it awarded in all sorts of circumstances, including during a resignation.
I have quit and collected more than once.

Those pigs just needed to pull harder on those boot straps
Brb, moving to Goodhue, Minnesota
Good.
Now the rest of police
from all departments
need to just do the same
and we'll be good.
Time to call a crackhead
Beats a racist with a power complex anyday. Although there is a significantly higher overlap than you'd think.
Nice, now do all other police departments in the nation.
Also, the absolute chads over in Powderhorn don't call the cops anyway, so they will be unaffected.
In other news spirits are soaring in Goodhue, Minnesota.
