For one thing, cops should stop getting involved in politics and instead drop their badge and tell the politicians to solve their political unwill to solve corruption, crime and terrorism problems. Instead of begging/negotiating for jobs at the ChAZ or for more benefits each time things go out of hand, or for media recognition kneeling like dumba$$es, they should sense the responsibility that the political approach in this need to be fundamentally changed so that they can focus back on being proud of being able to do their job well. The goal of the cop should be to regain his respect and dignity before a token pay or benefits raise as a pacifier by politians who tell them to do something while telling them to not do their job the way they do it because of political repercutions.
We are in a Vietnam situation before crime and the police is in the crossfire. There is need for mutual support between police and willing militia civilians combating crimes and evil foreign politics invading and giving illegal orders to police. China is fully behind antifa as seen in their twitter which since then has been taken down. This is an untenable political solution for a dignified cop to get into.
I’ve always thought a police presence to be predominantly a necessary evil in the event local civil order gets out of hand, so that he may apply proper force to mitigate damage.
“To serve and protect” is their motto, no? Well, “serve” carries a lot of baggage. You are right. They have been saddled with so many duties beyond keeping the peace it is a wonder anyone would sign up.
