“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJV).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
From big cities to small towns across the country, America is facing a police officer shortage. To blame is a mass exodus from police departments over the last several years combined with difficulty hiring new officers.
Resignations and retirements are at record highs and departments haven’t been able to hire new recruits. In some towns, the local police departments are closing altogether.
From Goodhue, MN to Limestone, ME, Washburn, IL to Austin, TX, New York City to Los Angeles, CA, police departments are hemorrhaging.
People who most need the help of law enforcement suffer worst.
