Do these leftist organizations write "fan fiction" as well?
I think it actually is designed to more closely match federal public service standards (ie the military)
and answer the decades-predicted police shortage issue.
Apparently also in the minds of those who study such things.
The AP and NBC news are leftist organizations in your mind? My stars man! Can words mean anything one wishes in Conservistan?
Biden’s not doing anything about the border crisis!Fascinating claim given that under President Biden, illegal crossings are down 70%
Migrant encounters down 70% since end of Title 42, US official says
Migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border have dropped 70% since COVID-era border restrictions ended last week, U.S. Homeland Security official Blas Nunez-Neto said on Friday.www.reuters.com
When I worked in the law enforcement sector back in the mid 2000s, we were acutely aware that the number of people applying for police positions was falling dramatically. We changed and loosened qualifications (dropped the requirement you had to live in the municipality, for example) and had huge hiring bonuses. We had a task force assembled in 2005ish that identified and tried to rectify barriers to hiring. Statistically we learned that the Rodney King incident was a pivot point that started the decline of interest in being a police officer, especially among minorities.Really?
The decades predicted police shortage issue.....first time I've heard of it.
Vallas: Chicago Police overtime cost $126M, plus cost of burn-out
One way to “defund the police” is by not hiring officers – a strategy supported by many in Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s camp. The problem is, failing to hire more officers is backfiring. It leads to higher costs, some of which are very hard to count but easy to see.www.illinoispolicy.org
Ironically, it's costing more money to have less police, and they're less effective because they're overworked. It doesn't help that these woke DAs like Foxx, Bragg, Gaston, and others seem more interested in helping criminals than in helping victims.
What's the decades old police shortage issue?
Apparently also in the minds of those who study such things.

Any other questions?
If they were reasonable, they would be in the center, and not left-biased.According to that, the AP is simply on the reasonable side of center. What news sources do you use for information?
Reasonable would be reality-centered.If they were reasonable, they would be in the center, and not left-biased.
With all due respect, I'd say that attribute is very "topic-dependent"Reasonable would be reality-centered.
But from time to time the left or the right - or sometimes both - depart from reality. We're in a time now when the right has made the biggest swerve toward fantasy.

Illinois Gov. Signs Law Allowing Illegal Immigrants To Be Police
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has signed more than 130 bills into law including one that would allow foreigners with work permits, some of whom are illegal aliens, to become police officers in the state.www.oann.com

What the actual law says:
Federal law requires an immigrant to have an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), or work permit, to lawfully work in the states. However, undocumented immigrants do not have that document due to their immigration status. Some other classes of immigrants legally allowed to be in the U.S. are also not permitted to work, such as tourist visa holders.
To obtain an EAD, an individual can file form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. Undocumented immigrants cannot apply for a work permit.
I try to make common sense arguments for certain conservative positions on these forums because I feel there are some excesses of the left that need to be curtailed, but threads like these with blatantly false information and substance reduced to OAN pundits making false claims makes my job harder.
Or, to put it more succinctly... You're not helping.

Oh for sure, theres elements of lefty politics and thinking that are pretty "out there".With all due respect, I'd say that attribute is very "topic-dependent"
The right's detachment from reality may be "higher profile" due the nature of the news cycle and stories they choose to highlight and cover, but I can point out instances of both side being detached from reality.
Doubling down again.

I won't argue with the climate change aspect...the members of the right who still believe it's not real are 100% wrong.Oh for sure, theres elements of lefty politics and thinking that are pretty "out there".
-elements of thought policing.
-extremes of identity politics at the far left.
But for sheer consequence they have nothing on the right at this time.
-the near mainstream acceptance of the stolen election lie.
-political violence polling with near center right acceptance.
-reliance on media that not just biased, but flat out lying as standard practice.
-climate denial thats simply absurd.
The roles have been reversed at various times in history. But now we're in an era when the right's flight from reality is mainstream and massively consequential. They are untethered in shockingly important ways. The lefts dalliance with fantasy is small potatoes. by comparison.
NBC skews a bit left, but AP is what I would consider to be centrist...not sure why they'd be claiming that the AP is a leftist organization (unless they see "leftist" as "anything left of center-right")
The AP and NBC news are leftist organizations in your mind? My stars man! Can words mean anything one wishes in Conservistan?
It is true that some people with work permits are here illegally. DACA is the example that comes immediately to mind. But the law also requires that the potential officer be able to carry a firearm under federal law. People here illegally cannot do so, thus they cannot become law enforcement officers.
