Examining The Left’s War On Cops: A Look At How Many Police Officers Have Left Their Jobs
The Daily Caller ^ | 29April | B Lyman

Amidst a national reckoning with the criminal justice system, police officers from precincts across the country appear to be leaving the force in droves.

The Seattle Police Department announced more than 200 officers have left the force since last year, according to the Associated Press (AP).

Police Chief Adrian Diaz said the department was facing a “staffing crisis,” noting 180 officers left in 2020 while 66 officers have left in 2021 thus far, according to the AP

Other than the big cities, most communities can police themselves if given the need and opportunity. I'm trying not to sound like some blowhard, wrapped in a Gadsden Flag, but communities will figure it out. Of course, those communities will tend to be Conservative, have an appreciation and respect for gun ownership, and an appreciation and respect for law and order. It might be bumpy in the beginning but it'll work itself out.

In short time, the bad guys will learn where they can and cannot go without fearing for their own lives and safety. The saddest part of all of it would be the fact that the rich liberals that are causing and supporting all this nonsense, while fully insulating themselves from all of the consequences, will soon start trying to come to those very same safe areas. Where they will set upon ruining them.

From the article...... The Asheville Police Department in North Carolina also saw an exodus of officers in 2020, according to the Citizens-Times. Beginning June 1 and according to data obtained on Sept. 10, 31 officers quit the force, according to the report. “It’s not unusual to see 15-20 in a year,” Chief David Zack told the outlet. “But when you see the number that we just had in the last two months, that is unprecedented.”

Who in the f*ck cares what happens there? A beautiful city in the mountains, completely overrun with RICH, WHITE HYPOCRITICAL LIBERALS from Atlanta, Charlotte and elsewhere. Possibly one of the whitest places on earth. From an acquaintance that lives and works there, some of the most condescending and nasty folks she's ever dealt with. The same city where they told restaurant owners that they couldn't have patio lights for their outdoor dining areas, as the light messes up the natural moonlight. The same city that voted to defund their police department.

Reap what you sow hypocritical liberals.

Local policing has been the tradition and a rule since before USA was founded. The present political movement is a purposeful propaganda campaign and political power grab to remove a key obstacle to total centralized power.

Tell me if you has seen one protest, doxing, leak, media outrage, demand for defunding or investigation of any Federal law enforcement agency?

I fear this vacuum will be filled by the likes of anti-fa and blm.
Just like the "brown shirts" in Germany.
Street thugs with badges.

The Left intend to create a crisis in law enforcement, so the federal government will be begged to provide a solution. A federal police force. Posse comitatus will be rolled like everything else in their way.

Never happen because the Feds are the ‘standing army’, for lack of a better term, for Congress and the DOJ.

There is so much redundancy in federal law enforcement and so much money wasted, it’s insane.

But, Congress and each Cabinet needs their enforcers. People talk about the IRS and paying taxes at the end of a gun. The IRS has armed agents that will come arrest you. Mind you, they tend not to be very good, but they have guns and all that stuff for a reason.

During the last ammo shortage, folks were asking why Social Security had their own armed agents. So they don’t have to depend on the FBI or US Marshals to enforce their laws and make arrests.

DHS was supposed to be an administrative entity with reps from each of the federal agencies to de-conflict investigations and coordinate. Now they have thousands of armed agents protecting the homeland. Isn’t that what the FBI is supposed to be doing?

In NYC, they’re being told not to come to the pension office as it’s too crowded and the amount of paperwork has overwhelmed them.

Do it online and wait for an email or phone call.

And in that mix is regular retirements and disability claims. NYC is going to become even more 3rd world than it already is. And not one liberal will raise their hand and admit they were part of the problem.

Maybe, but if some Mexicans can do it, I’m sure we can too.

Most plausible theory.

The demonization of local police is a move by the proggies to have a Nationalized police force, one not accountable to the local citizens, an American Stasi.

That’s what our own Matt Bracken fears as well.

These anecdotes are good but I won’t be happy until 50% or more of cops find a way out. And it has to be from Libtard cities and wealthy Rat suburbs such that the media can’t cover up the violence and mayhem.

It is the only “sensible” decision they can make at this time. Why put your life and future in jeopardy for an ungrateful public?

Has anyone seen or heard about the 2 policemen killed last night in Boone, N.C.? I haven’t seen any mention of it. I don’t watch TV any more.

Never mind. I googled. 5 people dead includes 2 policemen. Parents killed by step son who had waaay too many lethal fire arms. Looks like the parents were trying to report him as being dangerous.

I’m with ya. And the 50% or so that stay aren’t worth a sh*t anyway.

My only concern is, how do you prevent all wealthy liberal from moving to your town or mine so they don’t start their cycle all over again?

Places like Boise, Idaho are paying a dear price from the liberal infestation
