to be sure , and my good friends that are LEOs in and around the cities are not happy these days , my new DIL is national guard - on call but thankfully not deployed , there is nothing good coming from any of this in the near future ,
now , having said that , there is something to be considered with respect to that future in terms of all the calls to defund and reorganize the police force , this year alone there has been a large increase in crime in those areas , some of it very grave , if this leads to less police , and i believe it may , that will turn the cities into a no-go zone for some and an exodus for others , im not sure how it will all play out but this may play out negative for liberals soon ,
i would rather people look at liberalism and change their minds based on the topics as presented but ill take the facts changing their minds as well , i accept we are a country of law and order - perhaps too many laws , but even the libertarian in me understands there are too many that disregard any laws , we need law enforcement and we need those willing to dedicate their lives to upholding and enforcing the laws [maybe we can revise some of the laws] i think it will be impossible to hire good people in this climate , we will pay for this in ways that even the criminals may not yet understand ,
the fact that it was a black officer that made the intial stop and was put at risk will never be considered in the upcoming events , it will only be this white female she made a mistake , albeit a fatal one , the events that led to this will never be considered , this 20 year old had a one year old son , it will not matter that he had a criminal history that caught up to him in this instance ,
my thoughts here are - do not commit crimes , do not resist arrest and attempt to flee , do not argue with the arresting officer or resist , it only results in bad things , im sad this veteran female [white] cop was at this place , at this time , and will live with this the rest of her life , i cannot imagine - and the rest of it as it unfolds
there is no good end game here , but we need law enforcement unless they want a whole lot more bad things to happen in the future , martial law is not what america was funded on ,
anarchy will result in vigilantism , nothing good will come of it , it valso provides the opportunity for foreign forces to intervene - good thing we are still armed for now
