The authority and standing of the local authorities has been irreparably compromised.
I don’t know what it will take to restore that.
Law abiding citizens are, for all intents and purposes, on their own.
Police are a soft target in this whole thing. First it was the schools, then churches and churchgoing Americans were targeted... it goes on and on.
This is how you dismantle your society ...the bloodless coup we all anticipated.
The authority and standing of many local authorities was damaged most by a guy who has been dead for a while now. He was a real A*hole. You have probably heard of him. His name was Steve Jobs.
What he did was to put cameras and video recording capabilities into the phones of millions of people whether they wanted the option or not.
This subsequently lead to the collapse of the illusion that law enforcement only did bad things every now and then. YouTube brought about more law enforcement corruption cleanup in opening decade of the twenty first century than the combined efforts of all reformers in the twentieth century.
The race baitors and communist agitators have a firm foundation of actual bad behaviors to work with.
Its all part of a concerted effort spanning many years.
First, it was an attack on the clergy particularly Catholic priests. Now it is more of a general program to denigrate Christians in general as "intolerant".
Second has been the attack on teachers. There is a strong bias in the media to sensationalize the miniscule percentage that are child molesters.
Third now is the assault on anyone wearing a police uniform.
Coincidence? Think back to your childhood years when you were advised to go to a Priest, a teacher or a cop whenever you needed help. Now where are you supposed to go?
To the government, of course.
