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.

    in my line of (volunteer) work many fellow volunteers are or want to be cops in training, but a few are trying to be firefighters....I always ALWAYS ask the would be future cops, "have you considered firefighting instead? what if everyone loved you instead of hated you" etc and honestly....it's been a not completely ineffective strategy
