Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara dropped a bombshell on Thursday. He told America that over 500 police officers have fled his department since the 2020 riots. This is what happens when liberal politicians throw our brave cops under the bus.
The numbers don’t lie. Police departments across America saw resignations jump by nearly 280 percent after the George Floyd protests turned our cities into war zones. Officers who dedicated their lives to keeping us safe were suddenly treated like criminals by the very people they swore to protect.
This staffing crisis is no accident. It’s the direct result of the left’s war on law enforcement. When Democrats spent months demonizing police and calling to defund departments, what did they think would happen? Our heroes in blue got the message loud and clear.
Now Minneapolis is paying the price for years of anti-police hysteria. The city is losing officers faster than they can hire new ones. Chief O’Hara himself called the situation unsustainable, and he’s absolutely right.
While crime skyrockets in liberal cities, police departments are stretched dangerously thin. Officers are retiring early and walking away from careers they once loved. Who can blame them when politicians stab them in the back every chance they get?
The liberal media wants you to forget about the billions in damage from the 2020 riots. They want you to ignore the businesses destroyed and lives ruined. But the cops remember, and they’re voting with their feet.
This exodus of experienced officers puts every law-abiding citizen at risk. It takes a full year to train new recruits, and many departments can’t find enough people willing to take the job. The thin blue line is getting thinner by the day.
America needs to wake up before it’s too late. We must support our police officers and reject the radical left’s dangerous agenda. Without strong law enforcement, our communities will continue to spiral into chaos and lawlessness.
