> Cops had better make the righteous choice in the coming days. <
Right now cops will instantly obey whomever signs their paychecks. If it’s a Democrat, they will do bad things without hesitation.
But what will happen when civil order breaks down, and those paychecks stop?
I suspect many cops will just disappear, putting protection of their families first. Can’t blame them there.
But what about the rest? It would make for a good novel.
Someone else can write the novels. I’m retired.
But a little like the two Bad Lieutenant movies and the true story one called “Detroit.”
Detroit (2017, directed by Kathryn Bigelow) follows the alleged use of anonymity during the chaos of the 1967 Detroit Riot for police to change sides and cover up actions.
Working on a college project with my friends, we were at my friend’s apartment in a house half a block from the Algiers Motel where the murders took place—in John Hersey’s much acclaimed and reprinted nonfiction book about it, three days before the murders. I witnessed the riots later on.

From review of the book: “The investigation exposed severe systemic racism in the justice system, as none of the officers involved were ultimately convicted for the murders.”
