Louisiana GOP Gov. Jeff Landry has declared a state of emergency due to a police officer shortage.
Landry’s executive order issued Thursday lifts limits on how many new employees Louisiana sheriffs can hire and on payroll increases for their departments.
Landry, who previously had a career in law enforcement, said that police departments in the state are experiencing record-low employments “resulting in increased crime and less public safety.” As of July, sheriff’s offices statewide were down 1,800 deputies, Landry said.
I spoke against Nazis, and was downvoted to oblivion.
It’s just the way things go.
I was banned from lemmy.world completely for asking about taking action against a fellow mod posting and Advocating for literal nazi policies.
So that’s cool.
