We are living Atlas Shrugged.
That thin blue line is all that is keeping the leftists alive.
just had fox news on briefly- Eric Shawn was on- totally convicting the police in public opinion court, and his black guest sitting there nodding along- Eric making the claim that the cop was ‘running on adrenaline, and didn’t follow police procedure as a result’ and said the taser isn’t a ‘deadly weapon ,therefore, they had no right to shoot him’ blah blah blah
I thought i was watching CNN-
Oh, they will be back. The moment law abiding Americans start to organize to protect their communities from the mob, the police will be back to clamp down on that. Also, who will enforce the coming second round of lockdown orders? Nah, some departments might see some short term losses, but the system is not going to be without a means of enforcing what it wants.
How many innocent people will die because of the leftist media and politicians’ dishonest anti-cop, anti-American, pro-criminal, pro-riot propaganda?
I understand the cops’ feelings in blue areas where the politicians stab them in the back, but they are wanted and appreciated in safe, orderly conservative red areas.
The “thin blue line” gets thinner.
“The mentally ill used to get treatment and now they just send cops.”
“Kids used to be taught respect and now it’s cool to be disrespectful.”
“Supervisors used to back you when you were right but now they accuse you of being wrong in order to appease crazy people.”
“Parents used to get mad at their kids for getting arrested and now they get mad at us.”
“The media used to highlight the positive contribution our profession gave to society and now they either ignore it or twist the truth for controversy to line their own pockets.”
“There used to be a common respect among criminals. If they got caught, they understood you had a job to do but now it’s our fault they sit in handcuffs rather than their own personal decisions.”
“If someone attacked a cop, they were seen as such. Now we martyr them and sue for millions.”
“We used to be able to testify in court and we were believed. Now, unless there is video from three different angles, no one cares what you have to say.”
I’ve been saying it for at least 2 weeks now. The Rubicon has been crossed. Cops are THE active target now and being presented as Public Enemy #1. As the cops wake up to this new reality, their ONLY motivation will be survival...for themselves and their families. Hence they will now “self-stand-down” more and more. We’ve already seen it with them abandoning police stations so the BLM/Antifa Anarchists can burn them down. This will be the “new normal”. Right thinking people see what a threat to society this is. Eventually, even leftards will face the reality when the Frankenstein they created turns on them so they call 911 for help and all they hear is “We’re sorry, but no one is available to take your call. Please call back again later. Goodbye.” Only when the leftards get their long deserved reckoning will this change for the better. Lots of carnage in the meantime. Plan accordingly.
There is a wave of crap hitting the US and corporations are jumping on board. The cops are still holding the line for the most part. I can’t believe it after all the president has done to improve business. The disloyal corporate bastards are betting that Biden wins and the whole country will do the Pelosi knee bend. Yup — they are betting on Biden. The cops will go with Trump.
“We used to be able to testify in court and we were believed. Now, unless there is video from three different angles, no one cares what you have to say.”
Years of testilying will do that.
“The man who drove drunk, assaulted a cop, stole his weapon and fired it at him, was shot because of racism” is an actual argument that people are making right now, because we live in the dumbest era in human history”
The ‘behavior’ of Citizens toward police officers is absolutely worse than disgusting. We’re suppose to be on the other side of the filth and criminal element that’s out there.....officers have their hands more than full dealing with druggies, theft, nutcases and the lowest animals of society nobody would bring home for dinner! But when society backs the criminals rather than the officers you will you’ll get the same treatment as the criminals by officers.....there is no difference.
The media and the Democrats (really one organization) are the cause of that entire list.
I’m a Deputy and see clearly two sides. I see what he wrote an it’s mainly true. I also saw the actions of many officers during the lockdown. Law Enforcement can’t have it both ways. One problem is that the public in general never gets an accurate account what it’s like on the streets. It’s hard for middle America to accept there is a large part of our population that can only be dealt with,shall I say, anything but cordial. But there are police officers that don’t know when to turn that off.
Cities that want to survive will support law and order.
Police can relocate to the cities that want to survive.
Those cities can send their miscreants and other commies to the blue cities that want to deteriorate into slums and chaos.
“We used to be able to testify in court and we were believed. “
Well maybe stop with the no-knock middle of the night raids and killing of innocent persons and dogs...for openers.
I was wondering when this would happen. Can’t blame them one bit.
I'm a retired public school teacher and the entire litany above fits most any organization that deals with the public on a regular and close basis.
Look around. The big talk now is about a coming teacher shortage. I've been retired for nearly ten years and there still is seldom a month that goes by that I don't get at least one call from some district that wants to know if I'd be interested in substituting, short/long term fill in or a return to regular employment. It's the same problems that the they've listed above for the police.
Cops probably got it better in that they have a gun.
I only knew a few teachers that carried.
When I first saw the new batch of Academy grads come in this past week, I thought of this:
