Coming to your city. Dispatches similar to these can already be heard in Minneapolis. We have shifts being held over (basically mandatory OT), and frequent calls where no one is available to respond.
MPD is also on track for 150+/- retirements soon.pic.twitter.com/wW5ZS6Yjl2

A district of 61,000 people and three cops.
More than ten minutes to respond to an assault.
You are on your own.
9-1-1 will put you on hold.
Nobody is coming to help you.
You need to know how to take care of your self.
Learn to use a fire extinguisher. Lots of fire departments do training on that.
Take a Stop the Bleed course and buy or make yourself a trauma kit.
Lean to use a gun correctly in self-defense. Take a low light class.
Be prepared to self rescue.
And buy insurance for the inevitable persecution the DA will put you through when you have to
defend yourself from one of their “chosen” minority monsters.
This situation has existed for at least the last 15 years. It’s getting very interesting out there. Get some survival skills as quickly as you can.
My thought as a cop would be: “I get my pension by years worked, not overtime hours worked.”
I keep telling these idiots that ‘defund the cops’ means they won’t be there to keep ‘us’ from cleaning ‘their’ clocks when push comes to shove…
