Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Atlanta Police have walked away..

I know of tractors being stolen on the rez.

It’s sick what politicians and the media are doing to every cop who ever had a rough tumbler with a black persons.

😎

Amen.
And if the docs and nurses cant be protected in hospitals, MOST of them should get blue flu.

Let the goons go ape

Most members of BLM dont want to touch a post hole digger and wouldn't be able to steal a tractor if they had the keys.

As I see it, it's not the cops who are deserting, it's their so-called leaders who are the ones deserting them. The Mayors and prosecutors betraying the police doesn't leave them much choice but to walk out.

The only reason tools of any kind get stolen is to be pawned- - - - -nobody believes the thieving scum are going to do a lick of work with them!

You cannot “protect and serve “ when you’re in total free fall because you have no foundational support beneath you. Your exposure and your family’s exposure is priority 1.

It’s a simple fact that innocent people will suffer because of political leadership failures. The most vulnerable will be hurt and badly so.

Your concerns are commendable and they are spot on.

That's a good story, but I'm not sold. Everybody with any integrity has a line they won't cross. If you are one of those people, you may not advertise it, but you have identified that line in advance. I've never been in LE, but in my profession, there were certain lines that I simply would not cross even at the threat of losing my job. A few times, I had to stop there and call somebody's bluff. A couple times, that line loomed but never presented. But rest assured, those lines would not have been crossed. I was fully aware of what that might risk, but it didn't matter.

I don't think I'm so special. And if that line for me was the point (which it would be, at least) where my leaders were stabbing my brothers in the back, and especially just as likely to do the same to me, it would be an easy decision.

The white cops who are leaving the job in Atlanta are just correcting a mistake they made.

You definitely can't be a white cop in a black dominated city.

In fact, once a city becomes more than 15% black, it's not a decent place for white people to live.

Minneapolis is 18% black and they've destroyed it for all eternity.

^^ This!

The protests here have been pretty small potatoes, but the local police association wrote a letter of complaint to the mayor. Some claim that command staff told them to go easy on the protesters, but issue citations and generally go harder on the counter protesters.

I wonder how may of those here criticizing the officers for walking away, would put up with the same relative treatment in their professions that these guys are now facing. The job has always been hard but now it’s getting to the point where it’s untenable. Good luck recruiting new cops to replace the numbers that will unquestionably be leaving in the future. Especially in the blue city schidt holes.

Nobody's forcing anybody to be a cop.

Not saying they are. But when you hire someone to do a job under certain conditions then change those conditions mid stream, you shouldn’t criticize them for walking away from the job. YMMV...

You can’t blame them for walking off. They are asked to do a thankless, dangerous job by their communities and then the leadership throws them under the bus.

Monroe Louisiana is 80% Black!

Walking off en mass is an incredibly strong statement. I would hate to see innocent lives lost due to this, but I hope they do it and the leadership caves and is forced to make a mea culpa in their rush to judgement.

Nope, but historically many honest. talented people have chosen that profession because it was an interesting, challenging career w/ a serious purpose that served the communities in which they lived. The risk vs. reward component is shifting rapidly in many places and many good folks will choose to find other careers. This will not improve our society.

63.4% black with a crime index almost 3X the national average in a small city of 48,000 people,...had 18 murders in 2015. It's only slightly larger than the small town that's the county seat here. It's 83% white here,..6.8% black. 2 murders a year is big news here. On average we have about 1 murder a year. Most years there's no murders at all..
