Defund the DEA and ATF so police resources aren't being wasted on minor drug offenses at an outrageous clip. The local police are outraged because the **** election driven mayors are completely hanging them out to dry at every level.

There's no upside to be a (black or other ethnicity) cop in a poor black neighborhood. If you do you job and respond to a shooting, and attempt to protect the people who called you (likely also black people) and use force against a criminal you're a nazi. You won't get any training. You will risk your life in the most miserable parts of the city for $35-40K a year. If you do a great job, and empathize with those you serve, and actually de-escalate violence, actually serve your community (for nearly free), the national media and your local (mostly democrat) leaders will still take every moment to call you a piece of ****.
Why wouldn't the police flock to the only other option? There's been zero support for them at the local level which is nearly 100% democrat. There's no 3rd option.
