Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Hopefully this helps.
But there is a LONG history of progressive legislature to minimize harm that cops just actively refuse to enforce. And considering this would require them to stand up to people in tacticool gear with a track record of murder...
We really need to move to the point where if cops can't do whqt the city government tells them then they're fired or not being paid. If I knew I could just ignore whatever my boss tells me, never get fired or even seriously disciplined, and demand a raise every year, you bet your ass I'd be doing things however I want.
Cop staffing is already below minimum levels. No one wants the (very real) PTSD that any emergency worker gets, for that kinda cash.
I'd suggest we rehab them into proper cops but this is Lemmy.
In a world where a literal police strike led to a lower rate of violent crime, this is not a claim that should be accepted without extraordinary evidence.
At the very least, a city whose "cop staffing" is below their minimum should have an obvious increase in crime relative to comparable jurisdictions.
Im with you but
Is a wild claim to make without any evidence.
EDIT: Found some evidence. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-017-0211-5
Only because we have cops doing things cops shouldn't be doing, and aren't trained to do. We're sending in hammers to handle delicate situations and shocked when they try to bash their way through them.
