At Extreme Investor Network, we delve deep into the world of economics to bring you valuable insights and unique perspectives on key issues affecting our society. Today, we explore the impact of the defund the police movement on law enforcement agencies across the United States.
The defund the police movement gained momentum to the point that many law enforcement agencies are now struggling to fill job vacancies. It’s a situation where politicians demonized the police, philanthropists funded mobs chanting for their demise, and non-citizens are committing attacks on officers without consequence. This has left the police unable to maintain law and order as divisive practices and a surge in crime have been politicized.
According to a recent survey by ZipRecruiter, law enforcement training has become the hardest skill to find for employers, with over 13,000 vacancies across the country. Some cities, like Pittsburgh, have even resorted to shutting down operations during certain hours due to staffing shortages. The president of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 1, Robert Swartzwelder, highlighted the recruitment, retention, and rhetoric issues plaguing the Pittsburgh police force, which has seen a significant decline in officers in recent years.
As law enforcement agencies struggle to cope with staffing challenges, some cities are turning to migrants to fill officer vacancies. However, history has shown that governments fall when the police no longer offer them protection, underscoring the importance of the relationship between law enforcement and the people they serve.
At Extreme Investor Network, we believe it’s essential to understand the historical context of societal unrest and revolutions to make sense of current events. The revolutionary cycle typically unfolds in five stages, starting with whistleblower disagreements and escalating to civil unrest, revolution, and eventually recovery. Governments often fall when the police side with the people against the ruling regime, leading to widespread upheaval.
In our analysis, we see the second stage of the revolutionary cycle taking hold as discontent and conflict grow. If the police continue to support the government against the people, we may soon witness a shift towards the third stage of revolutionary conflict on the horizon.
