Police Officers: Morale Is Low In Departments Across The Country

Kerry Picket Reporter 10:05 PM 05/12/2015

Law enforcement officers at Washington, D.C.’s annual Police Week tell The Daily Caller that the anti-police climate is taking its toll on the men and women in uniform and that morale is low in departments across the country.

One source told The DC Monday night that officers have stepped back from engaging in proactive policing, because they often see the same violent criminals they arrest immediately released on to the streets.

President of the Fraternal Order of Police Chuck Canterbury told TheDC that he believes that a shortage of cops is the reason. “For the last six or eight years, proactive law enforcement has come to a stop because of shortage of personnel.”

Additionally, cops say that the fear of legal and political backlash, similar to what was seen in Ferguson, New York City and Baltimore, is hurting morale. One source at Police Week who also does part-time security work for private companies was astounded at how young some of the violent individuals were during the Baltimore riots.

The simple truth is that leftists can’t rule. They want to rule everything, but they can’t. Their DNA is to fight “authority” so when they get power they can’t actually run anything. It happens all the time, it happens everywhere.

Liberal elite lawyers have the little thugs back on the street within days - often months before the victim recovers.

So, the crime plagued areas will continue to suffer from self imposed plague while the areas where good Americans get protected.

CVS’s of the world must decide...... do I serve the good Americans or do I try to coerce the plague ridden to buy
