Defund the Police, Failure of DA's to prosecute criminals...now? Soaring gas prices are affecting how Police will respond to calls in Michigan...

Calls to the #IsabellaCounty #Sheriff's Office for low-level incidents that have happened will likely get phone responses instead of in-person visits in order to save on growing fuel costs. #police #OfficerMagazine https://t.co/cIuymIJhQf

Funding choices by local politicians has already affected public safety. That trend will continue. More than ever its apparent that your safety depends on YOU, not government!

Make no mistake about it.  While I haven't seen this in my area, you can bet that it will spread like wildfire on the East and West coasts.

Gas prices affecting patrol?  You bet your ass.  What will that lead to?  Less officers on the street.  More reports being taken over the phone.  Less officers on the street plus more reports taken over the phone mean that you'll see MORE crime...so called low level crime but crime none-the-less.

Welcome to the world that YOU voted for!
