It’s amazing how fast they find them when it’s a cop but let it have been a regular civilian
You’re a police officer 24 hours a day until retirement—it’s not easy. Try being a cop when all eyes and cameras are waiting for you to slip up, and brutal, dehumanized criminals have more rights.
why cant the same effort be done for missing children
We should have resources and energy to similarly handle civilian stabbings, and the city would be much safer. Fund, NOT Defund.
The resources exist they jst dont use them. Wythink? 5 states away, bagged off a tip? Nah...
