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.

“Sean, the Baltimore City Police Department, the officers particularly on the street, have been eviscerated, they’ve been disemboweled, their guts removed to have the courage to go out there and do this job. They’re very fearful that if they go out there and be proactive, which we all should be doing in law enforcement today, we can’t afford to be reactive, especially in urban areas. Those officers are no longer being proactive, and as you see, the violence has surged. … And I hope this is a shot fired across the bow of mayors and urban leaders across this country. Once you disembowel your law enforcement officers, then you cannot no longer expect them to go out there and protect you, or protect your communities. This is very troubling the worst I’ve ever seen in 31 years of law enforcement.”

He added, “I’m hearing it all the time. They’re [police officers] fearful at doing their jobs.”

This is a union “work to rule” action, a type of legalized work slowdown. Classic.

I'm reminded of what that Chinese guy said to the Harvard Professor.

"If you take away religion, you can't hire enough police."

Time for an epidemic of the Blue Flu.

Blacks riot destroying black businesses after a black guy dies in police custody because of three black officers led by a black police chief who is led by a black female mayor, with a black female
state attorney in a city ruled by democrats for over 50 years.

So, the first black female U.S. Attorney appointed by the first black president blames racism and
conservatives
for Baltimore's problems.

Let ‘em self-police.. See how long before City Hall takes some rounds.

And then listen to the wailing that goes down.

I guess the police should just chill out at headquarters and still collect their paychecks...

I bet that every police department within 100 miles of Baltimore is getting a flood of resumes from Baltimore police who want to leave.

I've personally long been an advocate of "reactive" policing...come when called to end a crime in progress, if possible, or to clear up the leftovers after the constitutionally armed citizens have taken care of the problem.

Yeah, once such a policy was in place, there would be a temporary uptick in violence, but it would settle out if left alone.

Of course the sine qua non of the success of such a measure is the repeal of unconstitutional gun laws (IMNHO, every one of them except COTUS 2A) and the widespread exercise of the right thus freed from lawless "laws".
