    Ray Charles saw this coming.

    Almost immediately after Floyd’s death, Reuters found, police officers all but stopped making traffic stops. They approached fewer people they considered suspicious and noticed fewer people who were intoxicated, fighting or involved with drugs, records show. Some in the city, including police officers themselves, say the men and women in blue stepped back after Floyd’s death for fear that any encounter could become the next flashpoint.

    Like the commercial used to say "You asked for it, you got it! Toyota!"
    And the hyperbole in that article is the kind that will keep those still working there disengaged, drive others off, and kill recruiting. All of these emotion led cities are getting exactly what they ask for and deserve.

    We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......

    Reminds me of H.L. Mencken's quote: "Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard."

    There is an extremely vague and misleading Minneapolis ballot proposal that has been in and out of court several times in the last few weeks; it is essentially asking the voters to choose to change the city charter to remove the requirement for a police department, to be replaced by a"Public Safety" department, with police added into the mix if necessary. No details or steps are laid out in the ballot proposal as to how this would be achieved.
    The police chief would serve under the sole control of the city council and the mayor's office would be sidelined from any decision making on public safety.
    The City Council is strongly behind it, of course.

    Early voting by absentee and mail-in ballot starts within a couple of days.

    The outlook in the City of Lakes is starting to resemble Detroit in 1950; "It had such promise..."
    The fools driving this think they'll lord it over in hell. Hubert Humphrey only blunted the communists in the DFL after the war, but they're back now.

    Take a look at this video snippet from yesterday:

    The most prominent anti-police activist in Minneapolis, blaming the cops for the gunfire that interrupts her conversation.

    How America's police changed after the George Floyd incident! <-- Fixed it for you.

    Juvenile crime in CT is Out of Control. Every other demographic's violent & property crime is up too.

    The CT legislature passed and the Dickhead governor signed a Bill into law eliminating Qualified Immunity for police officers. The LEOs I have been training with all say ZERO crime suppression is taking place. Those who didn't get out want out. Hartford CT had to implement a Stop Loss. New Haven was just advertising they have 70 openings for police officers. My buddy on the K9 squad said the whole squad got together and decided they are not sending a dog for a bite lest they get disbanded. Large groups of quads and dirt bikes ride amuck through the cities driven by youts who literally 'can not be touched'. The current policy of breaking the pipeline to prison has emboldened those inclined to cause trouble. What the bleeding hearts have done is provided a training ground for youths to progress to bigger more serious crimes with impunity. https://www.fox61.com/article/news/l...9-978d1cb93eb8

    It's a total shit show! A LE friend said they are just waiting for one of these little untouchable angels to present a deadly threat to the wrong person. "It's coming and it will be ugly", is what they keep saying.

    Overnight car thefts and burglaries are epidemic in the suburbs. A couple weeks ago a foolish guy in my town tried to intervene and had shots thrown at him. Almost unheard of in my town till now (the shooting part not the burglaries).

    Hartford was a shit show when I worked up there in the mid 80's. I can only imagine what it's like now.

    (And I wasn't too thrilled with their cops who I nearly got into a gunfight with either.)
    There's nothing civil about this war.
