Fetal is National

  • American policing today is in a state of slow-motion collapse, struggling mightily to attract new officers — no matter how low standards are dropped.

    Under sustained assault by the City Council, pundits and self-styled civil-liberties advocates, a new generation of New York City cops is being conditioned to avoid showdowns with civilians, especially where coercion or force is called for. We could have saved the costly investment in body cameras by explicitly telling the cops two words: “Do nothing.”

    Officers who do more engagement than what is absolutely required have been threatened by HQ that they’ll find themselves on a list of “troublemakers.” Thousands have, or will soon, head for the exits, telling all within earshot to avoid police work as a career.

    In many parts of the country, the police have gone to ground.
Go read it all.

Enjoying that bland, flavorless, unsexy,
unexciting, non-controversial, non-confrontational,
hands-off Policing yet?

The Police are finally doing something proactive...

Police Like You Have No Friends.

Then?

Look.

Yes, there are some who get past the filters designed to disallow those truly not suited to law enforcement.

And, yes, there are some who get clouted past the filters.

And, yes, some who at first are suited find that, after experiencing the full nature of the work, they are, indeed, not suited. (or are found to be not suited).

A much smaller perventage than the race baiters claim. Much, much smaller percentage.
But, as in all things "progressive", the baby MUST be tossed out with the bath water....for the sake of the children.....

"Progressive" politics is always throwing a temper tantrum. Always.

That's their native state of mind.

Since they object so vehemently to receiving the spanking they so sorely need and have earned, the wise have chosen to let them beat the shit out of each other.

The bonus: Boy is it funny to observe.

Older Democrats refuse to accept it, but the Reality is that the Democrat Party of today is a Party of Socialist Globalists. And eight years of a President who claims his children are "Citizens of the World" and "Police acted Stupidly", coupled with an Attorney General who is like that President, angry at being part White; and this is what you get. The Police, especially the White Police are responsible for all that is wrong in America. Yet, the stats do not support this, and the whole premise of BLM us false. "If you tell a lie long enough, it becomes the truth." Perception has become Reality, without any substance to support it! A lot of people moving out of Illinois, are people tired of having to pay for and live the Lie. DO NOTHING MORE THAN ANSWER YOUR CALLS. STAY AWAY FROM STARBUCKS, EVEN IF THE COFFEE IS FREE, BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE TO THROW OUT THE PISS BUM, WHO HAS MADE STARBUCKS HIS VOTING ADDRESS. IF INSTRUCTED TO DO SOMETHING, FROM INCOMPETENT LEADERSHIP, MAKE SURE THE NAME, STAR AND RANK OF WHOMEVER TOLD YOU TO CARRY OUT THAT ACT IS DOCUMENTED. If you came on the job before Rahm, you are part of the "Problem", and not part of the "Change"! Let the "Change" go to prison when they try to please their Masters. Stay Safe. Baby "G"

Prime example is the”do nothing” mantra with the feral south side ghetto rats invading Michigan Ave and the lake front. Are they shopping, taking in the cultural sights ? No. They are causing mayhem and terrorizing the citizens: causing disruptions in traffic, jumping on cars, invading stores with mass shop lifting, pushing citizens into the lake, punching and kicking innocent people sending them to the ICU, And what do the politicians say.? Oh, they’re just running do teen stuff, misguided youth, blah, blah. The CPD superintendent says the same. Well the citizens have had enough, election time isn’t coming fast enough.

And the ACLU .... that’s another loser. Time to out each and every spokesperson in that hell hole. They are also to blame for this, God forbid if anything is said or done about these jr criminals civil rights. And start taking A chunk of moms or grandmas welfare and link card privileges away each time jr does his funnin. If they can’t control their kids, let the govmt help them by hitting them with $ withdrawals. Money talks, nothing else works.

Look at the Communist Manifesto on how to take over a country. Discredit a country's military and its police forces to the point they are both ineffective. Then when total law and order brakes down, the establishment orders troops to control it's citizens.

The liberal power brokers want the police to be nothing more than social workers in today's communities. If you perform anything more than this, you are putting your career and freedom in jeopardy. I retired back in 2011 and never imagined that the police profession would deteriorate to this degree. I truly feel sorry for the current police officers and think about them every day.

This epidemic is happening in county jails too. Aggressive correctional officers are labeled as troublemakers by administration and are harassed and bullied for doing their job. COs are threatened to not upset murderers, rapists, child molesters by yelling orders of LOCK THE FUCK DOWN, SHUT THE FUCK UP,etc. Instead, COs must say PLEASE.

(With apologies to ZZ Top)

Somewhere on Lake Shore Drive
With some brand new steel
The wagon had some room in the back
And my partner at the wheel
Cruising by the lakefront in
The middle of the night
It's been a few hours since
We've seen a blue-and-white
Yeah it's sad . . . it's nationwide
It's so sad, and it's nationwide


I was coming home from work
Southbound on 294
I heard some shots and then
I saw a few new dents in my door
These things would go unreported
If it was just up to Rahm
But we all know the score
Thanks to heyjackass.com
Y'know it's sad . . . it's nationwide
I said it's sad . . . it's nationwide


We loaded up the U-Haul and
got the hell out of town
Put 300 miles on the rental
before the sun went down
Took a loss on the house
and left a whole lot behind
Our leaders don't seem to know
Whether to shit or go blind
It's sad . . . it's nationwide
It's sad, so goddamn sad, it's nationwide

No it’s not illegal. They’re not forcing them, they’re giving them an option. The option is if they want to be considered for assignment to 018 then they actually have to do some police work other than drive around aimlessly.

My nephew had his last day Friday 1 June after over 6 years otj. Said if he didn't get out now he would probably get locked in for a long haul of misery. He doesn't even have another job but I had to agree with him, get out now. He's early thirties and single so it's a bit easier but he really thought at the start it was a great profession. Time to move on.

Illinois pensions are ridiculously high, it’s legal theft! No one deserves 75k a year for sitting on their ass. When the eye opening news hits there will be a revolution, and rightfully so. It can’t continue forever. Average SS check is around 800/month while pension checks come in north of 5k... Tax payers get fucked!
Cap the gold braid pensions too, as they pull over 120k/year from the patrolmen’s fund.

Our "Fetality" is what "the public" has been pushing really hard for.

No?

So...

What you're saying is "the public" being so beside themselves
over the accompanying shit-show that followed closely behind
public induced fetality ("You Cops are just too... Well... Too!")
by The Police, the only thing "the public" has left to resort to
is "screwing" Policemen out of their "generous" pensions?

Funny...
It isn't The Police running around all quarters of this city
banging off guns, car-jacking or flocking downtown in marauding
bands to slap members of "the public" in their eye, forcibly taking
their hand-held busy toy from them and shoving them into the lake...

You're one ignorant motherfucker mistuh/ms. "public."

Of course you figure it's safer to threaten Policemen with
such than to put forward any workable solution to the catered-to constituents
fleeing their over-Policed breeding grounds to come and visit YOU
because they know YOU have nice shit and Rahm stripped YOU of YOUR
paid for share of Police presence to try and keep THEM from putting
THEIR ASSES through Rahm's re-election plans.

You're one of Rahm's fanatical "Propeller-Head" blog trollers, eh?

Go away child.
The adults are trying to war-game
possibilities of surviving this shit.

Meanwhile?

The Police will continue to:

Look.

If it is engineered, the goal would seem to be to make local law enforcement so ineffective that the citizens would be begging for something new. Something that works.

In my small flyover town, the big law enforcement news this summer is that the police dog has gotten a Facebook page of his own (and has an overwhelming amount of likes already). And the cops are randomly handing out "tickets" to children caught obeying rules like wearing helmets when biking. Tickets are good for a free ice cream at the local mom and pop ice cream stand, donated by mom and pop.

It doesn't have to be like Chicago, and in many small, nice, quiet places in America, is still isn't.

If you get fed up and decide to leave, we'd love to have you as our new neighbor.

Some tips from someone with 20 years on....

Get your conceal and carry license...and carry...and shoot it you are justified in doing so

Don’t leave anything in your car...nothing. The predators that roam the streets will have no problem causing hundreds of dollars in damage to steal the small amount of change in your cup holder.

Invest in a door club and use it when you’re home

Don’t keep anything in your garage that cannot be replaced for a couple of hundred dollars

If you have security cameras, mont them as close to face level as possible. Too many are mounted overhead and although they may capture the incident, they are useless without a clear shot of the offenders face

Buy a barking dog

Say away from the red line and division street year round, and the lakefront/downtown area during the summer

Finally, hope that you are one of the thousands of zebras that are lost in the pack and get away instead of the one captured and eaten by the lion

I had many shitheads get 18-24+ months for felony revokes/add duis. You get more times behind bars with traffic and less chances of getting jammed up.

The residents?

Yeah, the people who live there.

You know, the ones who have the individual, natural obligation, (no matter what some to many insist they can, or must, defer to goverment authorities), to defend themselves?

So, "..Who the hell is going to protect our neighborhoods...", you ask?

The residents residing within their neighborhoods.

The ones who haven't succumbed to the false narrative that law enforcement employees are imbued with the authority to protect, when the authority to enforce law is all the authority so imbued.

Law contrived by politicians.

Let that sink in.

The portion of law relevant to natural law is meager; the portion of law intended to impose control upon, and irrelevant to natural law, is ample.

Yes, people tend strongly to not want to bear the burdens of being obligated to their own safety.

Then they better get the fuck off of thinking they have dick squat to say, or do, concerning how those who have accepted that burden determine is neccessary to achieve that safety.

People want to be helpless, in need of protecting?

Then get the fuck out of the way, you're blocking my sight lines.
