Louisiana GOP Gov. Jeff Landry has declared a state of emergency due to a police officer shortage.
Landry's executive order issued Thursday lifts limits on how many new employees Louisiana sheriffs can hire and on payroll increases for their departments.
Landry, who previously had a career in law enforcement, said that police departments in the state are experiencing record-low employments “resulting in increased crime and less public safety.” As of July, sheriff's offices statewide were down 1,800 deputies, Landry said.

They could also be manufacturing the crisis and then taking advantage of this. Like mobbing the good cops to leave and then to be able to say "crisis!" and recruit more fascist cops.
Ahhh I'm just kidding there are no god cops and these guys aren't that smart ;)
If a secret must be kept by thousands of people then it's not a secret for very long, imo. I don't think these efforts are concerted.
It doesn't take smarts to follow orders. We're primates - monkey see, monkey do - and even an idiot will have heard of "manufactured scarcity" by this point. I wouldn't write off the evil inherent in and enabled by the system so easily if I were you.
