Dunphy Grand Slam

For those who don't know, Jack Dunphy is the pseudonym of an southern California cop who writes for a couple of conservative publications. He's been around the block and has a vocabulary that rivals our own. He's also a reader of this blog and his latest article is a thing of beauty:
  • Seldom does one see the folly of timidity demonstrated so quickly or with such clarity. Would that police managers across the nation heed the lesson provided this week in Baltimore.

    Here’s what happened: At 1:16 a.m. Tuesday morning, a police officer was on a traffic stop in West Baltimore. Without apparent provocation, a man passing by in a silver SUV tried to run over the officer. The officer escaped injury and broadcast a description of the car, which another officer spotted about a mile away. When that officer made a traffic stop, the driver exited the SUV and began firing at the officer with a handgun. The officer was not hit and a car chase ensued, with the SUV leading police on city streets until reaching Interstate 295, at which time a police major ordered the pursuit terminated over “safety concerns.”

    The officers involved in the pursuit, indeed officers everywhere, were flabbergasted. Here they had a suspect who had attempted to kill two police officers, and yet he was allowed to escape because some desk-bound major was afraid of what might happen if the chase had continued.
You should hop over and read the whole thing, but to summarize it, after the Baltimore police major terminated the pursuit, the felon who attempted to murder two officers resurfaced later and managed to wound both a police officer and an innocent female bystander. Dunphy describes the police as follows:
  • Real Cops, 
  • Slugs, 
  • and Climbers
We'd call them Good Cops, Dogs, and Suckasses (you may have variations). Guess what this police major is? His entire purpose is to remove himself from the "chain of accountability" and hang the Real Cops out to dry. That another cop was injured by gunfire and an innocent woman caught lead isn't his concern at all - which is a sad state of affairs, but what too many departments have been driven to nowadays.

Truth be told, I didn't need to read this to know that Baltimore sucks. I already knew Baltimore sucks because Baltimore does suck and they suck pretty badly on top of that. Another liberal run shithole run by useless, gutless politicians and an incompetent States Attorney. Gee...let me think now....what other Shitty American City does that sound like? Hmmmmmmmm

Dunphy got it as correct as you do, SCC. I can't believe how dead policing has gotten in the 11 years I've been retired but it is not the fault of the average copper on the street. It is the result of a bogus media, bogus supervisors of every rank, and minority hucksters looking to make a name for themselves without any consideration of what it does to their neighborhoods. The heat has been turned up incredibly by them to where nobody can function properly and even when they do the efforts are skewed to look bad inciting pandemonium across the land. Good luck to everybody still left as trying to fight crime and evil is now a thing of the past.

I know what that Police major is. He’s a major coward pussy.

I don’t care what kind of pursuit restrictions exist. Kill or try to kill a cop??? It’s balls to the wall, every available unit responding using any and every asset at their disposal until the offender is apprehended (or preferably killed) during the incident.

Motherfucker should be fired for cowardice.

This is truly disgusting but I'm certain the pencil necked pencil pusher (recently robbed at gunpoint), Deputy Commissioner Daniel Murphy, would be pleased to no end at the decision by the major-minor. Why anyone would do a thing in Baltimore even before this is beyond me. But now one can be certain the elitists in charge want officers to just drive by and smile and chase no one under any circumstances.

"Pursuit terminated"
Tell that to the cops and FBI in West Texas.
They HAD to pursue this maniac because he was on a highway
killing spree. He was shot dead as he attempted to enter the
grounds of a movie theatre. (Can ANYONE remember Dayton?
Shooter was neutralized as he attempted to enter a bar packed
with patrons, he himself with a drum magazine!)
What made the good major think, that after attempting to kill two
cops, that the suspect would not unleash on the general public?

Why are you guys still doing traffic anything! The people have spoken and want no rule of law, enforcement specifically. You are not elected, you do not set policies. Give them what they want not what your “morals “ feel like. Get that super hero fantasy out of all your heads, it will get you hurt or fired. Police have always been the enemy, because they/we have been pimped out to do the dirty work for political purposes . Now we’re not but very few of you want to be made an example of in this new renaissance of law enforcement. Until we go back to the Stone Age and start over with clubs and fur overalls, it’s over. You’ve been warned.

I can understand him calling off the chase after the guy supposedly tried to hit the copper with the car, but after shots are fired at the police then all bets are off. Many times coppers have screamed into the radio “the guy just tried to hit me with his car” which turns out very different once you sort things out later or view the camera footage. In many of those instances I’d side with the major. You have to ask yourself is it worth your wife or kids getting killed by this speeding ton of metal as he’s hauling ass through every intersection without any regard for anyone’s safety. For me, it just isn’t worth a totally innocent person losing their life over. Almost ever. Very very few circumstances would allow for a chase to continue. Once you get that ingrained into your mind it becomes much easier to let it go. Don’t think so much about the guy getting away, think about the lives you potentially saved by not chasing the guy.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, a Democrat, ripped Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas after he pointed to the Windy City as evidence laws designed to control guns don’t work.

Cruz tweeted on Monday: “Gun control doesn’t work. Look at Chicago. Disarming law-abiding citizens isn’t the answer. Stopping violent criminals — prosecuting & getting them off the street — BEFORE they commit more violent crimes is the most effective way to reduce murder rates. Let’s protect our citizens.”

There are bosses, Merit and List, not many but some, that are sternly against chasing beyond a reasonable limit.
A good boss would be more concerned for usually the young chasers health and welfare than an arrest.
Some are just protecting themselves from repercussions and/or afraid of the piles of paper.
Drawing the line at getting shot at is a way bit over the reasonable edge.
Arm-chairing this situation isn’t appropriate from anyone.

We’ve seen some long chases end rather easy, others very short but devastatingly horrible.
There will never be a right way to chase, follow, surveil especially when the driving or running violent feral go to extremes to get away.
In Cook Co like Baltimore is a restorative justice sanctuary, home to the lawless free and feral.
Catch a feral after a 100 mile chase without any collateral damage of injury and they all still get released after a few hours anyway.

A recently appointed Jugghaid SpecialEd once said, (paraphrased) ‘we cant arrest our way out of the problems’.
We seen where this leadership statement and ideology has led us.

Look , problem starts when you have a President, Attorney General defending fleeing felons , that are a danger to society .
Investigating Police Officers for using self defense . They encouraged criminals to resist arrest , then tried to fire police officers that used necessary force to arrest the criminals.
98% of Americans accept a ticket when commit a traffic violation , it’s that small group that use race card because they have support of politicians,community activists and liberals that would never live within miles of these criminals that disrespect police officers.
Would any of these activists,politicians allow their daughter , soms to date any of the criminals that they made martyrs . Of course not .

Devil's advocate time: if the desk jockey didn't terminate, someone got hurt and/or kilt in the ensuing chase and the reg-left shitbird politicians, lawyers, social agitators, media muckrackers, shakedown artists, Internet vigilantes, etc. all proceeded to ruin the lives of the cops involved, would it still have been the right call? We're talking about Baltimore here, not exactly a shining beacon of law-and-order sensibilities; the guy may well have figured that it was a no-win situation and erred on the side of fetality.

In other words, the blame would perhaps be better directed at political leaders who encourage and in most cases enforce this sort of thing.
