My lord, who would’ve thought that marching and protesting for less police and less patrols would result in a spike in crime?!

They should advertise the average pay, benefits, pension, etc. 🌝

Everyone who comment that don't have a job or career here is your chance.

Just add more police is not going to help. California need to change the law.

We need more police but they should get proper training when they are hired. Also, stricter laws for criminals! If not, it is just a matter of time any innocent person get killed. It could be you or me too!

Free the Man who is convicted of killing Floyd. Recognise your mistake. It’s not worth the price of anarchy.

I actually want to see OPD disappear. I rather see the state police or feds come in and clean house.

Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
