Whatis up lately with all the news stories (on tv too up here) with LEOs being attacked and vice versa.
Is there a lil uncivil war going on between Law enforcement and the underbelly of society?
Or is it just the fad to cover such stories?
It seems like we have had a few a month need to use deadly force cases up here in the PNW and otoh the LEOs are targets then there is the bad element of LEO being highlighted by local news.
I almost think having cameras everywhere is bringing all this and other crime/perps to the daily news.
Since they always have footage of the crime or get away.
Maybe these crimes have been the same in occurance all along just now have Pics or video to go along with so they make it onto the daily tv news.
There's this story from WWII about how people in Germany knew the war wasn't going exactly how the propaganda masters were spinning it when all the glorious victories of the Fatherland were happening closer and closer to Berlin. This is another glorious victory in the War on Drugs.
Believe me when I say this, I am not anti-cop nor would I ever condone killing a cop, it is disgusting, have 2 bro. that were LEO.
However, cops today are not the cops of the past. I think today they are viewed as militant bullies, more around to harass than protect.
The cops that were around when I was growing up were part of the community, they used common sense, you were not intimidated by them, yet you respected them.
RIP Officers
Mexican drug cartel types. Far more violent than our native criminal class. And that's probably where the "AK-47" came from.

Anarchy. Our laws aren’t respected or enforced.
