What we are seeing is a degradation of societal norms and rules. Movements like defund the police and open borders have not resulted in making us safer but instead have made us decidedly unsafe. And heaven forbid you are armed and try defending yourself with your weapon, you most likely will end up on the wrong side of the law. And you don't even have to use a weapon - ask Chauvin and Penny. It's no wonder why no one wants to be a cop! Like we saw in Gilford, cops just doing their job had to be investigated and then exonerated much to the chagrin of a vocal minority.
The guardrails that make society safe and work are being systematically removed. We have only ourselves to blame.

You mean shooting Miscah Fay? Whenever an officer uses his service weapon there is an investigation.
And it isn't that younger people do not wish to join the police force... they just want to earn the most they can like anyone else.
Canfield will tell you that violent crime is actually very low in Laconia and the surrounding areas. But you could be injured or killed unintentionally by those that have homes and jobs, due to errant behavior.
The homeless is more of a risk to hygiene and property.
