Great tips here as these types of situations are happening more and more!

Why even have the laws that jailed them in the 1st place?!? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes... if they want the laws changed going forward, then propose a bill...after all, this IS a "representative" government... and then see if your bill 'represents' your constituents' stance. Believe me, they'll let you know whether it's a law they want to live by or not! Ours is a Constitutional Republic where the rule-of-law reigns supreme... that's the way to get-it-done by-the-rules of a Constitutional Republic, because there's NO provision for "waiving" the just penalties of the laws that were ON THE BOOKS at the time of their crimes! There's NO such "discretion" afforded to them regarding law enforcement or the waiving of duly-enacted laws!! Now, time for CRITICAL THINKING...: Ask yourselves WHY they'd WANT to UNLEASH MAYHEM in our communities, hmmm??? It's because it fits their agenda to disrupt the law & order we enjoy in the USA, so the people will all cry to BIG GOV'T to "Save Us from the lawlessness..." and THAT'S when BIG GOV'T will spin their web; they'll say the lawlessness is all due to the disparities between the HAVE's & the HAVE-NOT's...; they'll say the 'solution' is an ALL-EQUAL society where 1 class of citizens share-the-wealth, but they will FAIL to disclose the truth of their agenda, that they'll remain ELITES while the rest of us share POVERTY equally in their socialistic Marxist society they're trying to establish!😡 Here's the trouble: in all the world's history, there has NEVER been a successful socialistic society! But they're not about to tell ya that...they'll just pitch what "sounds like" a fair deal and continue to try to drive DIVISION between 'classes' and fan the flames of jealousy and hate... . When a politician throws any class or category of people under-the-bus, they've got an agenda, they're trying to sway opinion... that's when it's time to put on our #CriticalThinkingCaps! 🤔 💭 Brain Expansion Group

This will be my very first post in which I won't be as positive as usual. This video shows exactly why no officer should be on patrol alone. Yet, in this country, officers are even sent on foot patrol alone, even though most are unarmed and don't carry a taser. This is something I find challenging to understand in my transition journey. And I am not alone - when I tell my colleagues in Italy about this, they always struggle to believe it. In Italy, where I served in the Carabinieri police force, all officers were armed, there were no body-worn cameras, and we didn't have an equivalent of the IOPC, nor the same level of scrutiny seen in many common law countries. Nevertheless, our patrols always had a minimum of two officers, sometimes three, which is also the minimum suggested to handle a prisoner safely. In over a decade of service in Italy, I encountered in a period of a month or two the level of violence, disrespect, antagonism, and resistance that I face here in a single set or two. I know I am very new to this reality, and I don't want to criticise a country and my new police family that have given me this opportunity. Eventually, with time, I will understand and see things that I can't see now. I'm always open to changing my mind and broadening my view. However, if there hasn't been evidence-based research on the risks of solo patrols, now is probably the time to undertake it. I believe this culture of solo patrols is a "cultural legacy" that made sense when society was different. However, in recent years, things have changed, and exposing officers to such risks is, in a sense, disconnected from reality. #PoliceSafety #ModernPolicing #OfficerWellbeing #PatrolPolicy #PublicSafety

This is why as police officers our risk assessments are always HIGH or UNKNOWN. Low risk does not exist in policing because something as common as a road traffic collision can turn in to a deadly situation. Not to mention when the attacker is completely unprovoked and seemingly independent to the incident itself. The next time you criticize a police officer from your armchair, consider that these are things we have to deal with on a daily basis. We have families to go home to as well.

Last year, Detroit saw dramatic crime reduction with the fewest homicides in nearly 60 years, while non-fatal shootings and carjackings dropped by 16% and 34%, respectively. The strategy took a team effort with federal, state, county, city, judicial, and community partners all working together to make Detroit safer.    And while 2024 has started in a positive direction, there is still more to do, including getting more police officers on the streets. Mayor Mike Duggan is proposing a 13% increase in the fiscal year 2025 Detroit Police Department budget. The boost will continue the expansion of mental health response teams and support extra police patrol for the summer months.       Learn more at detroitmi.gov/budget

Detroit is tackling crime, seeing its lowest crime rates in nearly 60 years! Last year, the Detroit Police Department hired 200 officers who are now patrolling the city. Six community-based organizations (ShotStoppers) were selected to reduce violent crime in neighborhoods - with one group already achieving a 72% reduction in homicides and non-fatal shootings. We've also implemented state-of-the-art technology, including gunshot detection - immediately notifying officers and potentially saving lives. These strategies and partnerships with federal, county, state, and community members are making Detroit a safer place!

We shared research last month about homicides in major American cities dropping at a quicker pace than we’ve seen in decades. As we noted at the time, it’s an important reminder that we are making progress, that reducing gun violence is possible, and that we must learn from what’s working. This deep dive from Vox takes a closer look at what’s working in Detroit, where there were fewer homicides in 2023 than any year since 1966. There are important lessons here that any American city can learn from.  https://lnkd.in/g67-aH96
