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.
Don’t worry I am sure the 2A amendment crowd will protect us.
This is why all those on the left need to be armed. You’re only doing yourself and others a disservice allowing fascist to have force multipliers.
Great just what we need. Yet another armed group.
Yeah it is good, the cops aint gonna help ya if the fascist pull some shit. At least if everyones armed we can make the bloodshed equal.
And eye for an eye leaves the world blind.
You know the Middle East used to be height of human civilization.
The middle east is in a bad place largely do to empire fuckery not folks arming themselves. I simply disagree with the whole eye for an eye shit, especially when it comes to fascists. If you could defeat a fascist by shoving a thumb up your ass the world would be a far better place. Authoritarians of all stripes fascist or not can only be truly dealt with via violence or the implication there of.
Pacifism is simply a cowards way to claim bravery.
Yeah yeah everyone blames the British. Entire region has been madness and war for over 20 centuries.
But do go on and tell me how your school shooting machine is going to protect us all against a fucking drone targetted via satellites. Hey when that whole kids in cages thing was going down why didn’t you use your school shooter to free those kids?
So…your solution is to disarm everyone but the fascist and turn them into cattle just like the nazis did in WWII? That’s your solution?
I was refering to tbe mongols, Baghdad house of wisdom my beloved.
Also I aint calling for use of firearms against the US military thats suicidal. Im calling for the use of firearms against shistain neo-nazi marching into cities and the cops if they try protecting them. It worked during the union wars to teach scabs, sheriffs, and pinkertons their place.
Also id of loved to storm one of those border patrol prisons and gun down those sonsofbitches, but sadly enthusiasm an army does not make. Part of the reason I call for increased armament is because I hope to see the resurrection of groups like the first black panthers, the anti-bund militias, and the old union militias. But my reach is limited since im just a random leftwing SoCal redneck in fucking San Bernardino, I am surrounded by dipshits who would welcome the fucking nazis.
Just because we are pro 2A does not mean we have any obligation to defend you. I have no intention of risking my life or the lives of my family to save others. My firearms are there to protect me and my family.
You have the same rights available to ensure your own safety. If you choose not to take agency for your own safety then that choice and its consequences are yours and yours alone.
I’m sure you’re neighbors will appreciate your well reasoned choice to ignore them and they totally won’t firebomb your house and take the guns from your toasty warm hands.
Your logic seems very flawed.
But it is better to have many guns and not need them, than have no guns and need one. I would encourage my neighbors to buy guns so everyone was prepared.
