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.
You can’t just come onto Lemmy and state the objective truth, it’s against social policy.

The echo chamber of blind rage will one day be the end of lemmy
That’s an internet thing, not a Lemmy thing.
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.
