If you want to dismantle society, start with dismantling law and order
American Thinker ^ | 7 Jan, 2022 | Michael A. Letts

Law and order is a dam consisting of many bricks. Remove them one by one, and you open the floodgates of chaos.

Looking back to the lowlights of 2021, one viral video pretty well summed up the depths of depravity reached by our masked society.

The video depicted a man punching a woman on a crowded New York subway. Many conservative commentators quickly took to their cameras and keyboards to point out that the crowd of bystanders was unfazed, even by New York standards. So why did no one step in to defend this woman, dishing out swift “street justice” in the name of chivalry?

Viewer feedback to this argument showed that the average clued in American is more ahead of the curve than many commentators. Things aren’t the same as they used to be, and because of the racial angle in this particular instance, stepping in to subdue a violent thug on a subway is liable to backfire against you.

Some cops might see you as the bad guy, and the county prosecutor could side with the thug, especially if in your rage you let the wrong word slip out, which 20 people captured on their cell phones. So now you don’t get lauded as a hero for risking life and limb to defend an assaulted woman. Instead, you get demonized.

Stuffy Sunday school attendees are often too naïve to accurately assess the moment they live in, in which the guiding rule should be that the old rules may no longer apply. The ancient world was clear on this. However, when a civilization reaches the dark age — weak leadership, corrupt institutions, chaos in society, and disorder in the family — the rules are irrelevant. They don’t work, and following them might even get you in trouble.

Lawlessness will abound at the End of the Age of Man.

It seems like the left is in rebellion against God and the 10 Commandments. Therefore they are in rebellion against Western Civilization.

I find myself currently living in a society which desperately needs to be dismantled. It’s too Left. Too Woke.

The Left says “defund the police” because the Left wants to commit crimes with impunity.

I also want to “defund the police” at this point. Because the police protect the Left and prevent decent people from doing what needs to be done.

One way or another, this is all going to get very ugly. And the people who try to stay polite, try to follow the rules, and behave in a civilized way — those are the people who will lose.

The author lost me with this:

Law and order cannot be enforced from the ground up.

That is a false statement. In the US, and in many places, law and order was enforced "from the ground up", in accordance with established law and government.

Police forces are a late comer to the game, although they are generally helpful.

The important factors are morality and civic duty, without which police forces just devolve into tyranny.

We lost this nation when the Ten Commandments were removed from the town square. Russia was unable to recover from Communism because they had no moral code. Teach your children well.

And THIS, the American Civilization has reached that dark age. We have descended into the dreams of every Anarchist that has ever lived./

Been saying for quite a while what we’re seeing is no accident but steps to a bigger plan.

Police are the ones that enforce the unconstitutional whims of the government.

I have heard the police referred to as uniformed crime scene investigators.

Meanwhile, self- defense and citizens taking matters into their own hands is vigilanteism, being demonized by the left.

They WANY the anarchy and lawlessness. It puts them into a position of power by their meaningless promises of offering law and order to provide security for the masses.

I took it to mean that enforcement has to be implemented at the DA and in the courts.

I agree. However, I don’t think this is just in America and I don’t think our Government or any Gov is running the op.

I say these things because the response of other countries is too similar.

The plan is running too smoothly for a Government to be orchestrating it. Someone with real talent has planned and is orchestrating this.

We will always have lawless people. But when the law becomes a political tool as it has with the J6 protestors and at the hands of the ever-politicized DOJ and the police state agencies, and we see unequal application of the law in the courts that enable elites (including politicians judges, prosecutors and federal agents) to successfully over-ride the law, you lose respect for the rule of law and law enforcement among the general population.

Hitler did not defund HIS police. he only wanted to defund the police that were in place during the Weimar regime who were not unwavering Nazi party loyalists.
Goering took over the domestic police and created the Gestapo out of the existing Prussian secret police
Then you had the SA which was the old paramilitary organization of Ernst Rohm active in 1933.
The SS, originally Hitlers bodyguards, largely replaced the SA and grew under Himmler and Heydrich to become a separate army in itself with its own secret police organizations.

The key thing to watch for is the federalization and integration of non-American citizens into local police forces.
In addition to supporting local police, defunding FEDERAL police is something we should support
