When the first police officer is successfully sued under the “anti immunity” provisions of the bill there will be:
—Mass retirements
—Many officers moving to a more police friendly state
—The Ferguson effect—officers refusing to respond in a timely manner in potentially dangerous situations
—Faked injuries and disability claims
—Lower quality candidates for future police openings
The impact on the cities (already high crime areas) will be brutal—and black people (including innocent bystanders, children, home owners, vehicle owners) will be most of the victims.
Black lives do not matter to the CT legislature.
Indeed to all of that.
I’m shocked that any decent ones still work in any of those cities. I’d sure have quit by now, and be looking for a new job in a more sane environment. (Or a new career given that the cop hate is almost universal now.)
The ones who are claiming PTSD and looking for disability retirement are gaming the system.... in a way that it DESERVES be gamed, after the way the politicians AND the citizens they protect betray them. Hoist them by their own petards.
Hmmm....Was wondering how Kaiser Wilhems NYC PD is doing...from their web page:
“About the NYPD
In an abundance of caution due to COVID-19, the upcoming police officer hire that is scheduled for Monday, April 6th will be postponed until further notice.....”
“Register for the Police Officer Exam
There is no Police Officer exam being offered at this time. Please check back soon for more information.”
Think that hiring freeze and cadet academy hold is now the same in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, et al?
Bad boys, bad boys, whatchu goin’ when they come for you....
