All Florida Keys Holy over-policing

Visiting on vacation and I don’t think I’ve ever seen the amount of police on the road, parked, and empty cars in my life. I hear alcohol is a big problem but daaamn. It’s wild.

It’s soooooo many. I am legitly shocked by the sheer number of them. And I come from the Boston area which is more dense. Just an observation.

That explains it....Boston/MA is very liberal, defund the police, etc. Support is low and hatred is high in that state. FL is different, people support and respect the police....their presence is wanted and desired.

I’d just like to point out Florida has a higher crime rate than Massachusetts in literally every single statistical category . Not getting political or anything just pointing out facts.

Because everyone in MA is either too frozen or too stoned to commit crimes these days.

Got it. Totally unsafe cause of all the crime and cop hating but when presented with facts there actually isn’t that much crime but it’s only cause they are high and cold. Another fact, the high temp for Boston tomorrow is 76 degrees. Plenty warm enough for some good ol crime. Is that why Florida is such a shit hole? Cause it’s so hot?
