Wicomico County, MD Sheriff Mike Lewis (R) declared that police officers are “fearful” of doing their jobs on Wednesday’s “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.

If I were a cop in Baltimore I would just sit back, get some popcorn, and laugh at the same people who spit on police, getting exactly the kind of community they have always wanted..when a crime scene call comes in, go get a coffee instead

[Fiddlstix]

Ditto

They should be afraid. Why put your life on the line for someone who resents it and for an employer who may put you in jail for it.

[Tzimisce]

The bulk of you cops probably shouldn’t have voted liberal Democrat.

[MeshugeMikey]

This is not something that we’d have to guess at at this point.

whether or not announcing it publicly is such a great idea. I am not sure.

Might it nor give the lawless even more .. implied.... “space to destroy”?

[Theodore R.]

Cops have always thought that Democrats mean higher pay for them. I think they continue to think that too.

“Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.”

[Reno89519]

Yawn. This is the same state that arrests people for filming the police, etc. Since they are afraid, maybe they should start respecting the Constitution, such as letting citizens exercise their 2nd amendment rights.

The gov’t has but one primary function - to protect the lives and property of the righteous from the predation of the wicked.

Our gov’t has become the opposite.

This has surely has already been tediously discussed, but if you were Obama and you wanted your own “army” to patrol the country, wouldn’t the initial effort to get that accomplished look rather exactly like the situation as it exists in Baltimore?

Certainly the cops are in their rights to not engage in a suicide mission, but nevertheless, when the cops are dismantled like this and the city is imploding, what will the remedy be?

Where there is no law you have anarchy.

[Din Maker]

And is anyone surprised that cops in Baltimore are afraid to do their jobs? I think they should all call in sick for a week and let the thugs kill off each other, loot, rob and burn the place down and let God sort out the dead.

[Steely Tom]

Fearing for one’s job is not a concept that has much resonance in todays Democrat-run urban utopias.

[driftdiver]

I was in the Baltimore airport recently and saw an armored car driver hauling box of cash to the businesses in the airport.

He had an armed State Trooper with him. Struck me as odd they would feel a need for an armed escort in a place where everyone is unarmed.

[I want the USA back]

Yes. The leftist establishment has decided that local police have to be replaced with a federal force that will let Blacks keep up the crime spree.
They will be sure to crack down on people who say towelhead or the N word.

[rednesss]

The tree of liberty.....

[IYAS9YAS]

Where there is no law you have anarchy.

Anarchy is fleeting, too. Where you have anarchy, you'll get the good people (those who either didn't get away, or for some reason can't/won't protect themselves) crying out for a protector. Often that protector is worse than the system prior to anarchy, and very often that anarchy becomes a dictatorship.

Most certainly.
