minus-squareNeuromancer@lemm.eeOPMlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down4·8 months ago It’s actually gotten better since COVID, noticeably. I think that’s a matter of opinion. PPb isn’t refusing calls. They are short staffed. They lose a ton of officers over the calls to defund. I won’t overly defend PPb because I think they needed a reckoning. A family member of a friend was beat to death by PPB for not a good reason. I would like to think that’s the only time I’ve heard a similar story but it isn’t. The only reason the officers got into any trouble was several of the family members worked for the governor directly.
