They don't have enough officers for foot patrol AND patrol function lol. Imagine going to 20 911 calls for service in a single 10 hour shift. You think they got time to walk a beat? At least half those 20 calls require reports to be written.

God forbid they take a 10 minute break to relax in a park.

Lol yeah because they're working real hard to respond to those 911 calls quickly as it is

Lmao, 10 minute break to relax in the park is not part of their job. If they want to clock out, that's something they can figure out with their criminally strong union. But just stopping at the park during shift to hang out for 10 min is not okay. They can go to the park on their own time.

We need them to walk a beat to get to know the communities and build trust, because they've broken the trust of the community with criminal actions.

Go do a ride along bud. It'll open your eyes.

Edit: and I used the term "relax" loosely. How do you know they're not typing reports in between calls?
