When an entire police force resigns, there’s some information that they’re leaving out
I agree. The whole force doesn’t resign due to pay. There’s more to this story than the press is reporting. Guess they needed a ratings boost.
You figure some of em would stay and get a promotion eh? Obvi Idk how that sht wirks😅
I notice they didn’t say that the police force declined to comment. Maybe they weren’t asked.
@Sandrathey need tp do theor job amd get to the bottom of it
Anyone else remember when journalism actually got BOTH sides of the story? I would LOVE to hear the actual reason the police department resigned.
Same.
It was about their pay. Listen & u have ur answer 😂
You cant be blindsided when they told you what the problems were. You were blindsided by ignoring them, pretending their issues and concerns didn’t exsist.
Town is probably safer now, I highly doubt this town needed this many officers.
@kasaitenma How is that?
@Ben O. it’s a town of 1200 ppl I highly doubt it has a problem with crime. They can now use the tax dollars for infrastructure improvements and business investments with their own community too.
@kasaitenma Wow, you are naive.
So to summarize: Something happened because of something. Thanks for clarifying the situation with your stellar news report.
They clearly said all 7 officers resigned because of pay…. they wanted competitive pay like bigger cities.
I’m having a hard time believing that pay was the sole reason, or that a mass resignation can happen right out of the blue.
7
The better question is why does a town of only 1,000 people even have their own police force. The Sheriff should be doing the law enforcement there!
It happens more often than you know.
They’re all getting tired of not being backed up by their higher ups and constantly being thrown under the bus.
More to this story…we just didn’t get to hear it.
You know that problems runs deep when the whole police force/department resign from top to bottom all at the same time
A proper journalist would have reached out to the police officers to get THEIR side of the story.
Agreed!!! Why did this happen???
Yes!!! Excellent point. 2 sides to every story
5% pay raise in 8% inflation
“They” don’t want that happening.
They did. The reporter talked to the chief. She says so around 2:20 toward the end of the video. Way to pay attention dingleberry!
There’s more to this story. An entire department does not resign unless there are more things happening than meets the eye.
They were greedy. I don’t know what’s so hard to believe about that.
They cited low pay like $22/hr
💰💰💰💰
@Badpoison1This is exactly why we need both sides, because people like you just make guesses and state those guesses as fact. You don’t know what you’re talking about. The pay raise was a last ditch effort to get them to stay and they still said no. Maybe you should be wondering why that is.
The lengths the MSM will go to NOT cover a story amazes me!!!!!!!
“The officers declined to comment”
So… How is that their fault?
Imagine getting the police officers side of the story …… just imagine actually getting a FULL story.
