All over the country, in cities big and small, police departments are recruiting tiny fractions of what they used to be able to. Cleveland's graduating class from police academy this year was 9 piglets. In 2000, they had 87. Similar drops are happening all over the country. Cities may be refusing to defund, but their PDs are shrinking anyways because the vast majority of people have realized that cops are basically evil.

    Knew a ftm guy that swapped out of policing when the protests happened and noticing that too many people in policing were bigoted as hell. That said the police academy in my hellhole of america is graduating like 60 cops this year
