In an era of “defund the police” insanity, Senator Josh Hawley is introducing a legislative agenda to combat the officer shortage that liberals have fueled.
The Untied States only employs 35% fewer police per-capita as the world average. Studies estimate that a 10% increase in the number of officers would reduce crime by 3-5%.
In 2018 the U.S. employed 238 cops per 100,000 people, while France employed 429 per 100k, Italy 456 per 100k, Russia 515 per 100k, and Germany 388 per 100k. The gap is only growing as countless cities nationwide report officer shortages. Just last week Portland’s entire police riot squad resigned.
