If the police walk out and the job of policing becomes so pointless no one will want to become a policeman, guess who wins? The radicals won't even have to go through the politically unpopular process of de-funding them.
“no one will want to become a policeman”
Well, that is not really the case. There is no such thing as “no police”. There are always police. It is just that traditionally, they wear a blue uniform and have a badge and are trained to uphold the duly enacted law. These are the guys I was referring to. In the case of Portland, it looks like they will replaced with police wearing black with a black bandanna and sunglasses, and they will just make up the law as they go. I for one would like to see the changeover happen rapidly. Then the US can get a good look at the future the Dems have planned for us.
