Violent crime and politics.

As police across the country are leaving cities in droves and it becomes harder to recruit new officers, this could be a common occurence...
So, what does this do to local and national politics?

To what extent is this going on? Clearly, white people entering the police force these days are doing so with the understanding that they'll get figuratively spit on for being in their profession, so it must be going on to a meaningful extent.
Education is extremely important.

I know a lot of retired cops and a couple who are still on active duty. I doubt that any one of them would want conscripts on the force. The job is difficult enough without having to babysit someone who would never have been hired on in the first place and who doesn't want to be there anyway.
I do not think it is a good idea at all.

They would all, of course, be social workers.

Seen on Facebook, I didn't try to verify any of this:

40% of the City Council belong to the Black Caucus.
Their average pay is $122,304 annually each, PLUS $122,000 per year in expenses. Their pension for life is 80% of last pay.
Republican head count in the City Council is ZERO.
William Hale Thompson was the last Republican Mayor of Chicago in 1931. For 89 years Democrats have controlled the Chicago Mayor’s Office. At the end of fiscal 2019 the Chicago deficit was $838,200,000!
Can someone please explain how white people in general are responsible for Chicago's horrendously dismal condition?

NYPD had a 75% increase in cops quitting the force or retiring, 2020 vs. 2019. Denver had a 61% increase. Chicago cops are retiring at twice the rate if the previous year. Portland had a record number of cops retire.
Seattle had the most cops leave in a decade.Most of the cops leaving the force across the nation, tend to be retirements or early retirements. But they sre retiring in droves.
