Two weeks ago I wrote about the 40 year Black war on cops and top my surprise some here seemed to imply that cops "have it coming." Some wrote insulting comments. Does anyone out there doubt the existence of this war now?
False dichotomy.
I have not seen those anti-cop comments; just wow.
there have been a deluge of comments about the cop at least getting home sage after shooting somebody’s dog or the like.
most havent seemed terrifically truly anti cop
Al sharpton best be sure his car tail lights, tags and such are up to date.
His taxes are not.
Additionally, law enforcement in the traditional mode, i.e. bust the bad guys, is now hampered considerably by the political correctness of the higher-ups, and is actively opposed by the leftist/statist mob and their sycophants.
Bitch of a job these days. Sooner or later, though, there will somehow be a determination made that one or the other view will prevail. I daresay that, the more the gimmedats and their mobs become recalcitrant and MORE violent, the determination will emerge as either 'kicking ass and taking names' or outright internal civil war.
I'll vote for the former, thanks very much.
They're feeling very happy with themselves tonight.
Smug cowards.
One more example of the consequences of this administration.

From a police officer in Maryland:
CDS enforcement by patrol is on life support as it is and total arrests have dropped by about 90% where I work. There were guys on my shift who used to go out and get 17 legitimate lock ups per shift, the majority of them felonies. Now, the department is lucky if the whole shift gets 17 lock ups for the month. The hand writing is on the wall: do nothing and save your job. Folks on the street are acting accordingly. I asked one guy I work with why he stopped making arrests. His answer “I can’t risk getting fired.” This is by no means a brutal or corrupt Officer. Very polite, very professional and at one time a very hard worker. Not anymore. The same goes for everyone to his left and right. They’ve all shut down. Police work is effectively over for them and that means that police services are effectively non-existent for the thousands of people who live and work where they patrol. Occasionally someone will ask me why we don’t Police the way we used to. I tell them why in explicit detail and suggest that they write their elected representatives.
A lot of guys refuse to run code anymore. They won’t activate their lights or siren for anything other than a call to Assist the Officer. Assault in progress? Drive the speed limit. A shooting or a cutting? Drive the speed limit and make sure to stop for at least three seconds at every traffic control device. Why? Because every accident where the Officer runs code is now the Officer’s fault regardless of the transportation articles. So be it. Patrol will adjust accordingly. EMS will not enter the scene where someone is injured as a result of armed criminal action if we are not present. The longer it takes for the Police to arrive the longer that victim bleeds. The problem is that you can’t be fired for getting there a minute late even if the victim dies but you can and will be fired if you crash trying to get there in time, even if you didn’t violate the law or department policy.
Cameras will only make the situation worse. We have already been told that if we get cameras they will have to be turned off when we enter private property to avoid running afoul of the current wiretapping statute. That right there knocks their effectiveness down by about fifty percent. Domestics, EPs/mental cases and investigate the trouble calls account for a good many uses of force. You can ignore a drug dealer on the sidewalk. You can’t ignore a knife wielding schizophrenic who refuses to take his medication. If the Officer thinks that entering that house or apartment to deal with said EP will result in the loss of his job he’s going to pull back and wait for SWAT. Why? Because if he forms a perimeter and everyone in the house is murdered he cannot be disciplined. If he enters the house and kills said EP when attacked with said knife and the family claims racism/brutality/murder he’s looking at termination.
When the cameras come arrests for loitering, disorderly, CDS possession and distribution as a well as a host of other offenses will all but cease. A use of force can be justified but look ugly at the same time. High ranking Police Executives and Mayors don’t like ugly - even if ugly is both lawful and necessary. The result is that Officers will be fired or suspended until the message is received that ugly will not be tolerated. At that point active police work will cease - the process has already started.
A lot of folks want body cameras. They’re not going to like what they get namely Police who will arrive slowly and will simply go through the motions when they arrive - if they come at all. The only thing that Officer is required to do is show up for work on time and get to his call for service eventually (which could be hours). If the Police go into hibernation they are untouchable. No one can be fired or prosecuted for doing the bare minimum. Sadly, that’s the future. It’s unfolding right now.
Shut up, kid. Big mouth.
Incorrect.
FR *is* infested with liberty-lovers, anti-police-militarization, dog-lovers, correct-drug-raid-lovers, warrant-server-lovers, less-SWAT-team-use-lovers, Constitution-respecting-cop-lovers, and so on.
They're feeling very happy with themselves tonight.

We mourn the needless and horrific deaths of two police by an anti-police Muslim.
I’m just waiting for the Asians and the Latinos to demand as compensation for their ill treatment over the last 2 centuries in America, the slavery of all blacks to them as an appropriate reparation of black bigotry against Asians and Latinos.
Concur.
We grow very weary of the anti-Christian Muslim leadership which has promoted the public hostility against legitimate authority.
FR is infested with conservatives who rightly hate those who abuse their authority. Not every cop is a good guy.
I want the bad cops removed from their positions. That doesn’t happen often enough.
I don’t want ANY ONE killed in such a manner as this. My heart bleeds for these two men & their families.
When seconds count, the police are minutes away. People OUGHT to be prepared to self help. As long as justice is done, it doesn’t matter if the law shows up at all, ever.

I agree. But that is not the point of the article. If you read it, you’ll probably agree with what it says.
On target.
If there is a war as you claim, the other side (the establishment) started it. For what reason(s)? You're bright, and can figure it out on your own.
Unfortunately, both neocons and libertarians sympathize with the violent black underclass for their own foolish reasons. Libertarians (hard-core, ideological libertarians) have a blind hatred of authority, and cannot distinguish between good authority and bad authority. They are simple-minded, one-dimensional people who see any group of troublemakers as allies against The Man. Remember, these are the people who thought it was wrong for our military to bomb al-Qaeda after 9/11. Like liberals, libertarians love accusing anyone who disagrees with them of being a “fascist.” It doesn’t matter how many essays you write criticizing police militarization or the War on (some) Drugs, the hard-core libertarians are obsessed with ideological purity and respond to any statement of “most cops are good people” (which is the truth) with WAAAHHH! YOU’RE THE NEXT HITLER!!!!111eleventyone. The truth is somewhere between the pro-cop side and the anti-cop side, but frankly, especially after today, it’s a lot closer to the pro-cop side.
Neocons may be even stupider, if that’s possible. A neocon’s sole purpose in life seems to be antagonizing his potential allies and kissing up to his enemies. Liberals have zero tolerance for anyone who disagrees with them, especially on racial issues. Instead of standing up to the liberals, neocons throw their fellow conservatives under the bus, spewing hatred at the Tea Party, paleoconservatives, and other groups, accusing them of being horrible racist bigoted Nazis and agreeing with every lie spewed from a liberal’s lips, so long as it is not directed at them. Neocons are the pathetic wankers who make up stories about having black friends or stand in solidarity with illegal Mexican aliens to show how “non-racist” they are. They are obsessed with appearing anti-racist (which is really just a code word for anti-white) and are laughed at by the liberals, who will milk them until their usefulness is over, then toss them aside like garbage. Neocons are like the crazed captain in Moby Dick, forever on the hunt for the Great White Defendant, the next Hitler. When the black underclass begins spewing hatred at the police, the neocons are right there to say, “yes black massa, I hate white cops too.”
There is nothing racist about objecting to your own displacement. There is nothing racist about believing that all races - black, brown, red, yellow, AND white - should each have a homeland they can call their own.
After four years in a majority-black high school and close to thirty years in majority-brown Los(t) Angeles, I’ve *seen* things. Multicultural propaganda has no effect on me.
