Since cops are quitting/ leaving/retiring from Democrat run cities in droves they figure its time teachers get accustomed to being corrections officers & cops. Have fun with that

First, cops aren't leaving in droves. See HEREfor a more measured take. Second, the violent crime rate has been dropping for decades. NYC, for instance, long a Democratic stronghold, has become a very safe place to live -- safer than Indianapolis.

Perhaps we don't need as many of those cops as we used to. Perhaps municipalities can spend the money more usefully on other services.
