They mentioned that the average officer is much more seasoned in Detriot than Dallas.
Not hard to see why they would walk away.

Easier work, nicer weather, better pay and a pension that isnt under severe threat. Not hard to see at all.
I think we watched the same news program. The thing that stuck out to me more than the 58 minute response time was the fact that Detroit's caretaker isnt even talking about incentives to retain the police until they agree to a new contract.
Now...I may not be some fancy 'Big-City Bankruptcy Trustee' but I can tell y'all that ain't no one signing that there contract.
Likely because they'll be too busy waving the finger at you on their way out of town and there wont be anyone left to sign the stupid contract.
