You are being gaslit, folks.
When FC police chief Roessler was “retired” in no small part due to a 98% vote of no confidence by rank and file officers, he was replaced by Kevin Davis of Baltimore, who is even more pro-criminal and anti-cop than was Roessler. So the root cause of the problem was replaced with an even more problematic root cause.
Now we have Reid from the Pacific Northwest for public schools. She is less experienced and more radical than Brabrand.
Going from Brabrand to Reid is like going from Roessler to Davis: throw the peasants a bone so they back off for a bit and think positive change is taking place, when in reality, we’re going to be worse off.
How’s quality of life and crime trending this year under Davis vs. last under Roessler? Davis has been here for a year.
The answer is: worse… just like reading, writing, and ‘rithmetic will be under Reid.
Argue all you want, this is what’s happening. Take a look at the numbers in a year.
