He Makes Sense

We thought Paul Vallas wasn't running for anything any more, but the way he lights up his X/Twitter page with stats and such, he certainly seems like he's laying the groundwork for another shot at office:

• Police Superintendent Snelling says that since 2020, a shocking 330 police officers have been shot at, 38 were shot, injured, or killed. Average annual number of police shot at since 2020 is almost FIVE TIMES what it was in 2019 and most years before. 
  
  
  What happened to help cause this?
  
  
   • Police strength dramatically reduced 1,700
  
  
   • Unreasonable restraints placed on proactive policing 
  
  
   • Anti police rhetoric among city leaders escalated
  
  
   • Safe-T Act and pre-trial release returns thousands of dangerous and repeat felons to the street 
  
  
   • Safe-T did nothing to increase penalties for threatening police, witnesses or crime victims. 
  
  
  Officers increasingly take great risks as they fear being punished for defending themselves while criminals are emboldened by reformers who increasingly treat criminals as victims, blaming society for their violent behavior, while portraying police as oppressors.

Maybe he's trying for an appointed spot? Or a staff spot somewhere? Because he's nailing the statistics part of it.
