Why are police quitting? Behind the national wave of resignations

Droves of Salt Lake City police officers up and quit or moved to other agencies in 2020. Salt Lake City leaders dramatically upped its pay for police officers to get them to come back, but they agree it’s going to take more to fix morale issues than money.

What was the relationship between the two?

There was none

10/13/21 12:03pm

None at all? That seems odd for something that intentional to be

No relationship. Buk Buk was upset he wasn't allowed at a players-only party

Got it. Wonder if he was on drugs at the time.

The charged was a refugee from Africa with a number of prior charges…

Correct. A CBer knew Buk Buk when Buk Buk was a YM in his ward.

He had already committed armed robbery and got zero jail time. We're so soft on

6 different noise complaints but no officers show up. Just the way it is now

I haven't followed this story very closely, but were the noise complaints

10/13/21 12:14pm

Just party’s too loud complaints.

When your PD is down 55 officers, noise complaints are down the priority list.

why is PD down 55 officers?

This is such an old man take. Out of this, you think the cops should spend more

10/13/21 12:39pm

Haha, I simply pointed out that PD’s don’t respond to this kind of stuff anymore

CougGolf

10/13/21 12:54pm

You're not wrong. Many PD's are down a ton of officers, which hampers responses.

Who in their right mind would want to be a police officer anymore

Another thing wrong with the death penalty is when innocent people are . . .

Not if you have internet and cable tv. You’re basically a CBer!

Nah, I would rather be dead than spend life in prison. Even with tv/internet

boctabulous

10/13/21 6:30pm

And some prosecutors won't ask for it, claiming it is not a deterrent.

It's not all about being a deterrent.. more like punishment fitting the crime.
