Alexander Dunn, of the Illinois Council of Police labor union: "There are bills in the Illinois legislature right now that are going to make this situation worse. One proposal, House Bill 3458, would allow people charged with aggravated battery to a police officer to claim they were having a mental health episode. The legislature is also considering a bill to make it easier to decertify police officers. These types of bills are killing morale in law enforcement."
Not surprising. Why would anyone want to be a Police Officer in this current political environment? There is no support and an officer will get hung out to dry if some committee thinks they did something they didn’t like. Nope, society is getting what it voted for with Obama and Biden. Police parked under a tree till they get a call, write the report and back to the tree. No proactive Policing at all…why? They will just get into trouble – even if they do it correctly.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
