America's Cop-Hating Cities Will Soon Face an Ugly Reckoning
PJ Media ^ | 12 July 2022 | Stephen Kruiser

Posted on 07/17/2022 4:38:20 PM PDT by Rummyfan

The “Summer of Mostly Peaceful Fiery Violence” is two years in the rearview mirror now, and much of the country has moved on. The super woke commie blue cities that Granny Boxwine and the rest of the Democratic elite embraced are — SURPRISE! — facing a bit of a cop shortage, though. It turns out that His High Holiness the Lightbringer Barack Obama is the only Democrat who can routinely crap on law enforcement and still receive adequate armed protection.

Athena wrote yesterday about the sorry state of affairs in one of the showcase progressive hellholes from two years ago:

Progressive American culture has become so anti-law enforcement that police agencies across the country are struggling to hire adequate personnel. The problem is most pronounced in large urban centers, and a shocking new video illustrates the depths to which community relations with law enforcement have sunk.

Seattle, Wash., Washington, D.C., St. Paul, Minn., and Minneapolis, Minn., are among the prominent cities currently looking for someone brave — or foolish — enough to head up their police departments. Let’s zoom in on Minneapolis.

Unless you were in a coma, you heard about the fine, upstanding Minneapolis citizen, George Floyd, who ingested a lethal dose of fentanyl and passed away after fighting with cops and being subdued with one officer’s knee on his neck. Fiery riots and lengthy jail sentences for the officers ensued. Unsurprisingly, two years on, the Minneapolis Police Dept. is more than 100 sworn officers short of the minimum legal requirement of 731. MPD currently employs 629 officers; compare this to the 902 sworn who served there just weeks before the Floyd death.

Honestly, I’m surprised that there are that many cops left there after the viciousness with which city officials turned on law enforcement in the effort to canonize George Floyd.

Athena’s post is about some disturbing video from St. Paul, Minn. that shows some poorly raised toddlers going off on police officers:

In the video, the group of toddlers and children is shown interacting with two police officers. Egged on by older children behind him, a barefoot boy of about four, clad only in a pair of children’s briefs, repeatedly verbally and physically assaults the officers.

“Shut up, b*tch,” yells the tyke. Failing to get a reaction, he moves in and strikes an officer. “Hey,” protests the man, and the boy repeats, “Shut up, b*tch.” Off-screen, a child accuses, “Wow, you pushin’ around a little kid.”

“These guys aren’t messing around,” mutters one officer to the other.

“F*ck off,” screams the child. He postures menacingly, hurls additional insults, and strikes the officer again.

To anyone willing to go into law enforcement today, God Bless You!

As for the toddler referenced, I guess there is a generation of feral animals being raised.

Let the shxtholes burn and the people in them.. Between that ,the covid jab, genital mutilation from gender dysphoria, suicide from woke aneurysms and monkeypox, liberals are slowly dying off... Which is a good thing.

Sad part is that the criminal lowlifes don’t even vote for the most part. It’s the working class and church going types that vote and also want more cops yet they keep voting for the same leaders who allow or perpetuate the anti-cop, defund the po po sentiment.

The irony is the Democrats won’t be able to enforce their gun control schemes without cops who are willing to crap on our rights.

What better way to influence elections than torching a couple dozen cities. Lots of loot to be had.

The Black cities/neighborhoods will become so bad that they will have to eventually be occupied by the military.
Civilian cops will become overwhelmed.

Make no mistake about it. The biggest victims in all this won’t be the cops. They will still have their overtime pay and their pensions. And it won’t be the elite. They will still have their gated communities and private security.

The biggest victims here will be the poor souls - mainly black - who are just trying to get by. They will be mugged on the way to work. And their apartments will be broken into while they are at work.

Sure, you can say that those folks contribute to the problem because they continue to vote Democrat. And there is some truth there. Nevertheless, those innocent black folks will suffer more than anyone else.

No one cares about those people. No one cares to help them. No one except Trump. Trump wanted to bring industry back to America. That would have meant thousands of good jobs in the inner cities. Black families would have had hope, and a future.

That won’t do. So of course Trump had to go.

“Sad part is that the criminal lowlifes don’t even vote for the most part.”

How do you know that? Or, rather, how sure are you that their names aren’t on voter registration rolls, and that votes for Democrats aren’t done in those names every year?

I’m a huge fan of liberals becoming victims (the more violent the better) of the thugs and criminals they create and encourage.

We need to wall off cities like the “Warsaw Ghetto” model.

Fabulous. My youngest daughter moved from Chandler, AZ, to St. Paul last spring. And here I thought it was a safe little city in Minnesota. 😖
