| Just to give an example, back 25 years ago when I came on the job, there used to be a thousand applicants a month. | |
| A thousand people wanted to be police officers, just a month. | |
| And so out of the a thousand, they only took the best 5%. | |
| Out of the best 5%, they took the best 50%. | |
| Out of the best 50%, they took the best 5%. | |
| So you ended up with maybe six, maybe seven a month. | |
| They wanted to hire the best of the best. | |
| I bring that up to say that I just don't see that in today's. | |
| I don't know if a lot of young kids, you know, want to risk their lives knowing that you are one incident away from being filed criminal charges. | |
| So when you highlight and sensationalize one incident, I mean, you know, George Floyd didn't help at all. | |
| I think the protest and what happened with the George Floyd incident takes an impact as to, you know, hey, I don't want to do that kind of work. | |
| I don't want to see myself getting in trouble and getting, possibly going to jail. |
