The point is, the PC mandates drove good people away from wanting to be cops, the professionalism has clearly suffered over time.
Again, I wouldn’t try to blame what’s happening in Minneapolis on PC crap... There have always been bad cops... they long predate the obsession with PC nonsense.
The issue with Minneapolis is that it appears, there is something far more than a rogue bad cop or two.
There certainly could be a case made for PC having a role in the shooting there of the woman who called the cops and was shot by them.
However, the overall situation in that department seems broken.. there have been far far too many situations for far too long coming out of there. As I said before, for a layman looking in, it sure looks like a major lack of accountability exists there. When cops ignore their training and procedures flagrantly, they know they don’t have to pay attention to it... It is one thing if it is a rogue cop, but the series of events out of that PD are far too frequent and numerous to be blamed on a few rogue cops.
The latest, where 4 officers, 4 of them, allowed what happened to happen is inexcusable... One cop doing something wrong, isolated case, one cop doing something wrong in front of 3 others, and not a damned one of the other 3 say a word to him, not only that, but actively prevent anyone else from stopping him from killing that man, that’s not a rogue individual, that’s a systemic problem.
I am as law and order as you can get, but its beyond obvious SOMETHING is majorly wrong in the Minneapolis PD, and it’s not something that any simple political viewpoint or bumper sticker slogan.
