I have utmost respect for cops and what they do. Individuals that are bad should be dealt with as individuasl not reflective of all police. Society has become demanding and ungrateful. It is much more likely a patient whose bacon I save complains about the bill or the nursing service than says thank you. Ultimately you find the satisfaction in knowing the worth of what you do or you do something else but don’t expect any gratitude along the way. Sad.

A most excellent and depressing article.

Okay rats, why should taxpayers bail out the cities you want to kill?

While I think the whole “defund the police” thing is ridiculous and is most definitely being pushed by neo-communists, I think the guy that wrote this article has some serious rose-colored glasses on with regards to the state of his profession. I have no doubt that there are a heck of a lot of good cops, but for years I have been watching police forces get more militarized and engage in tactics that are unfit for a free society, no-knock raids at 3:00am as one example.

The cop in the Floyd case gave the Left just what they needed to kick off this coup because he had to keep his knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes even after the guy was handcuffed, and smirk with his hands in his pockets while he did it. Does the word “professionalism” mean anything anymore?

Beautiful article that actually brought a tear to my eye. Our younger son has a close friend who is a police officer and has always been our “third son.” Our older son, his brother-in-law is a state trooper. Both are deserving of great respect, not the cruelty the Left has put them through.

A bit dramatic. He is wrong. America did not do it, and has not done it. It is being done by the democrats.

If the democrats do succeed in taking over, they will enforce their laws with fury.

Folks get your butts out to go vote today in those two states and, only cast votes for POTUS, Donald J.

Obama, Biden and their scum & vermin Democrats and their filthy “Fake News” Media, need a massive awakening, that we, the American people will not stand idly by and let the “OBAMA”/”BIDEN” Traitor, Turncoat, destroy our police forces...one iota.

Yes, the rare “Bad Apple” cop needs instant removal and abrupt justice when they commit horrible crimes....but they are very few, and the 99% of “GOOD COPS” must remain to keep order and render us all safe and sound!!! Now is the time for all good men & women to come to the aid of their country!!!

The current Democrat Party has gone off the cliff, diving into the waters of total insanity. Obama and Joe Biden need to be politically destroyed beginning today...period!!!

Vote massively for Trump in West Virginia and Georgia today and save your lives and the lives of your families and beloved dear ones!!! Get out and vote Trump...”NOW”!!!

The problem is too many black people have fallen under the delusion that anything that stands in the way of getting what they want is ALWAYS somebody else's fault, that is, systemic racism. It is NEVER about the degree of their efforts or how long those efforts were sustained. . or that even when those requirements are met.. .nothing in life is guaranteed.

Now they are demanding that "systemic racism" be ended, which really means blacks want to erect a system that guarantees that they can get what they want irrespective of the quality of effort. In other words, a system that defies reality, defies everyone else in the society, and, in fact, defies the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God.

Cops find themselves on the front line that is met when blacks attempt to live by this creed. . .Cops are the ones who are being asked to protect the greater interests of society and to deal with the self-destruction caused by this delusion . . .all the while the media and Democrats continue to encourage the delusions. It is not the job of the police to constantly be faced with the consequences of the cultural rot brought on by bad ideas that foment bad behavior.

Whites don't hate blacks, we are just watching them self-destruct and it is disturbing. . .and fearful. . as it spills over into society at large. We mostly don't know what we are supposed to do when someone refuses to take responsibility for their own life and demands guarantees that don't exist on planet earth. Ultimately, policing requires a populace bound by the common rules and laws of the social compact. It's not fair to the men and women of law enforcement that we ask them to risk their lives dealing with the consequences of a failing black culture and communities that are imploding upon themselves.

If they hold all cops responsible for Floyd’s death can we hold all rioters responsible for the Davis Dorn killing?

Don’t give up yet, LEOs. The final chapter of our black uprising hasn’t been written yet.

There is justification for black dissatisfaction but the extreme ideas and behavior will be kicked out by decent society.

Doctors kill 250,000 people a year. They call them “medical mistakes” because society understands that they do a very difficult job under high stress and they must make the best possible decision in the moment.

There exists in law criminal medical malpractice statutes and in cases where the error was so egregious that it justifies criminal prosecution doctors can be prosecuted. It doesn't happen often, and in an irony that Mr. Yates might appreciate, the AMA is just as opposed to doctors being charged as police unions are for officers being charged.

Nowhere is his article is an admission by Mr. Yates that among the more than a million sworn law enforcement officers there are some bad apples and people who, through temperament or incompetence, should never have been police officers at all. If he believes that officers shouldn't be prosecuted for "police mistakes" then would he say that Mohammad Noor should not have been jailed for killing Justine Diamond? Should the officers who killed Breonna Taylor not be held accountable and instead be sent back to the streets as if nothing happened?

Police do a hard, dangerous, often thankless job and for the most part they do it very well. That is an indisputable fact. But there is a vary small minority who abuse their authority and that, too, is an indisputable fact. And when that minority step over the line, when they move from enforcing the law to breaking it, then they should face the same penalties a you or I would.

For whatever Barr will not go after the Communist terrorizing our country. De-humanizing people that reminds us of just before the Holocaust.

If President Trump continues on the current trajectory of playing defense 95% of the time, and not go on the offense in the next 60 days. Then expect the Democrats to steal the election and for them to come after guns. In other words we will go into a physical Civil War or maybe Revolution?

If Barr just did his dam job, then we would not be in this situation. Where are the arrests of the terrorist that destroyed our cities? President Trump said ANTIFA is designated a terrorist group and they were allowed to destroy our cities over the last 10 days.

Why aren’t all their heads and the people who funded them in jail right now? How come they are allowed to attack, kill, loot, destroy and burn and nothing happens to them?

The police should have the full backing of the U.S. government in this time of Chaos. The fact they do not get into trouble only emboldens them to attack more.

I do not understand the do nothing strategy? That is what the Republicans did for 50 years, and it is why we are in this situation.
