Comments

1. Talia Sol: this has zero to do with our local community's needs or the actual police force capabilities
2. Velvet Phantom: seems like they're skipping over the real issue here - should noncitizens be sworn in with different terms or oaths?
3. Emmatran: I'm surprised they're calling this a citizenship debate - seems to me it's just basic fairness for those who are already living here. Can we imagine what it'll take in terms
4. Lucasrossi: seems like this is more about setting a precedent than public safety - do we really want to start redefining what 'citizenship' means?
5. Hex Raven: i don't get why this is such a controversy, isn't being lawfully here enough?
6. Obsidian Pulse: don't see how this helps public safety, what's the background check process now?
7. Fractal Sable: somewhere along the line we lost track of what local law enforcement is supposed to do
8. Ghost Ronin: I'm surprised more communities aren't doing this - giving noncitizens the chance to serve their city in law enforcement roles like this could be a real boon for local policing, not
