People have been clamoring for kinder, gentler, less militarized cops for the last 15 years.
This is the result.
As my friend Darryl Bolke says: “You get the police department you deserve.”
When you reward and promote inept cowards, yes-men, and suck-ups because they never used force or screwed up in the field, you get police chiefs like Pete Arredondo.
Remember, these are the folks you are calling to help you in your worst moments.
As I’ve said before, you are on your own. No one is coming to save you.
Anew report releasedby the Fraternal Order of Police seeks to draw attention to an ongoing trend of criminals — most of them black — calling the police in order to ambush them.
The August 2nd release states that there have so far been 52 ambushes this year, a rise of 126% over 2020. 2020wasthe deadliest yearfor law enforcement in history.
Out of 185 line of duty deaths in 2021, 35 cops were killed bygunfire. In deliberate terrorist ambushes, 67 policemen have been shot, 17 fatally.
As I predicted in an article I wrote last year, American policing is going to look more like policing in the developing world in the near future. In big third world cities, the cops are impotent and do virtually nothing.
The middle class and wealthy depend on private security companies to keep them safe. See a crime, hit your app, and private security rolls to your location. Look for lots of variation on this theme in the future. The same security company also Wants the Power to Arrest People.
