The left’s plans are to allow society to continue to decline with crime rampant. The populace will cry out for order and the only solution according to the elites is to send in the military. Once that is allowed the left will have total control.

If I were a cop, or in the military these days I’d be making plans to, ‘Exit, Stage Right!’
I said the same thing, how many went home that night after the Chauvin sentence and discussed with the family about a new career.A guy I know was a cop in the local big city for a long time, and just quit and went into another career.

RE: Maybe like the Purge movie....
Thanks.
Never heard of it but read the synopsis.
Interesting origin:
“They’ve gone back into the annals of pre-Roman pagan lore and found a very similar, real life equivalent of the purge, which took place over a week in ancient Europe. ....”

Just as long as snoopy neighbors and sidewalk gawkers won’t hold up their stupid smartphones to capture viral videos of the situations and then the nosy cops later will try to do something.

Meme of father and son admiring riots——

Indoctrinated boy echoing his school teachers’ lessons:
“Gee, dad, why did I have to be born white? The cause of all that is wrong with America.”

“Just bad luck, son. Bad luck.”

I think the Left has one or more “general strikes” on the table. Can’t remember details.

Yes, exactly right. Ferment strikes in vital industries and foster a lenient attitude in the government toward the strikers.

You know your commies.

We are in a fairly peaceful city/county. Our Chief of Police a man of color resigned a few months ago and we still have a temp.

The Sheriff of decades from deputy to Sheriff just pulled the pin and retired.

Hell, even Bosch on Amazon Prime tv just retired from top detective to private Dick.

You can’t create a National police force (Stasi), unless you refund the local police and throw the country into chaos

By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit; produce fear of inflation, rising prices and general discontent.

Foment strikes in vital industries; encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward these disorders.

When Biden sends in his US military to police each blue city/county, think of the massive $’s each big blue city will save on cop salaries/benefits/retirements, expensive equipment resources and legal costs.

The next step will be to do away with teachers and diplomas.
Put everything education wise on line. That will reduce city/county budgets even more than federal government replacing local police.

The mayors and those in charge of whatever will become super rich elites.

I’ve long wondered how people who are murder targets on the job day in and day out, can work, knowing if they defend themselves too quickly or make an honest mistake, they will have their lives destroyed by murder charges.

Seems like a real no-win situation and really not worth the risk either way. It takes a special kind of bravery and dedication to work the streets of our inner cities these days, I guess.

Your blog didn’t write this. No need for clickbait.

**********

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy denounced Democrats after thousands of police officers resigned from their departments amid a soaring crime wave.

The New York Times reported:

“New York City saw 2,600 officers retire in 2020 compared with 1,509 the year before.”

“Resignations in Seattle increased to 123 from 34 and retirements to 96 from 43. Minneapolis, which had 912 uniformed officers in May 2019, is now down to 699. At the same time, many cities are contending with a rise in shootings and homicides.”

The news comes after months of demonization by Democrats who pushed for “no more policing,” as homicide rates increased 30% last year and have increased 24 percent in 2021.

McCarthy responded to the news in a statement blaming the Democrat’s attacks on the police

The Police Executive Research Forum released the numbers from 194 law enforcement agencies underlines the crisis in policing across the U.S.

HIRING: There was a 5% decrease in the hiring rate for the 2020-2021 period, compared to the previous year. America’s largest police agencies, those which have more than 500 officers, experienced a 36% decrease in the hiring rate for the 2020-2021 period, compared to the previous year.

Law enforcement agencies that had 250-499 officers experienced a 29% decrease in the hiring rate for the 2020-2021 period, compared to the previous year.

RESIGNATIONS: There was an 18% increase in the resignation rate for the 2020-2021 period, compared to the previous year.

RETIREMENTS: There was a 45% increase in the retirement rate for the 2020-2021 period compared to the previous year.

McCarthy responded to the news in a statement blaming the Democrat’s attacks on the police.

Meanwhile, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez downplayed the crime wave and continued calls to ‘defund the police’

“Over the past year, Democrats’ sustained movement to defund, dismantle, and demonize our cops is taking a toll on our communities,” McCarthy said.

“It has manifested in the crime crisis our nation faces today, yet President Biden remains soft on crime and silent on Democrats’ radical policies.”

“Supporting the police and striving for safe communities should not be partisan objectives – they are shared values of the American people,” McCarthy added.

“It’s troubling that Democrats continue to vilify the police at a time when they truly need our support.”

Meanwhile, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez downplayed the crime wave and continued calls to “defund the police.”

AOC claimed that concerns raised by skyrocketing homicide numbers are just “hysteria.”

During a new video this week, AOC called on her supporters to ignore crime statistics - that show violence, murder, and shootings soaring - and instead continue to push for police departments to suffer further budget cuts.

And just think...that Communist Kenyon SOB is still pulling the strings.

Unbelievably I’ve seen fools on Twitter defending Biden as if he’s a good and decent President. How blind can you be?
