I used to believe that. Now, I believe the paycheck, health care and pensions will be used as threat to keep the cops in line and follow orders from the govt.
Let’s hope not. Stay frosty.
Recent experience is that cops value their own lives, their familys’ lives and salaries, and will back off, establish a perimeter and let things within that perimeter work their own way out. I.E. give folks space to destroy.
Look at the depolicing in Baltimore and other big cities. Look at the cops who walked off their jobs following Katrina.
“Now, I believe the paycheck, health care and pensions will be used as threat to keep the cops in line and follow orders from the govt. “
That threat didn’t work too well in the LA riots. The cops hopped into their squads and drove home to protect their families.

“””That threat didnât work too well in the LA riots. The cops hopped into their squads and drove home to protect their families.””””
Right, that was thirty years ago. Lots has changed.
Unfortunately, the liberal left professors and administrators are beginning to feel the effects of the revolution they called for by reducing teaching to radical leftist cant.
While it might be satisfying to laugh and say “ For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; it shall yield no flour; if it were to yield, strangers would devour it.” , the result is going to be a long period of “the closing of the American mind.’
