There's no post George Floyd with this whole discussion of overly aggressive police, abusive police, police violating the law and killing. Right. We had at that time the attorney general reviewed admit a report and We were more aggressive in decertifying police even to be certified as a police officer, which by the state, when you're decertified, you're not only fired from that department, you can't be a police officer anywhere in the state.
