NYS rangers
How did I miss that part? That’s on me.
Yeah state parks, rangers, and anything that positively manages government land has always gotten the short end of the stick. The state police aren’t as militarily kitted out as some local PDs, at least in my experience.
A state park near where I grew up was basically begging for volunteers because they didn’t have the budget to take care of the park more than 3ft from the parking lot. (mild exaggeration, but you get the idea)
This whole time I’ve been thinking its some local city cops with too much time and not enough training…
To many people nowadays, the actual job itself doesn’t matter, it’s the fact that it’s a job and it pays.
