To the LEO on this forum: Quit

I'll throw this out there. There should be specific criminal statutes for the bad conduct of DA's AND judges.

I'm all about cops arresting politicians for making up stupid rules.

There is a governing agency that looks into judges and attorney behavior but has little affect on their jobs as we have had attorneys caught with stolen guns, sex and drugs as payment and are still practicing law. Remember the people that fill those jobs most likely came from the same levels as their people they are investigating. Hell one judge out of 12 in our courthouse refuses to come back to work till they have a vaccine for covid. He has been off since april and is getting paid his six figure salary to stay home in fear. These are elected state level judges.

Maybe my view is myopic, maybe I am missing something but I just don't see this slide turning around or slowing.

The Left has the media and the angry mob and they won't stop until we are all Winston Smith, living in Oceania, scrounging around for razor blades. The war on police is just one front, and they will win it, mark my words. We either accept the inevitable, that we will be disarmed, and rolled into a socialist state/world order or it gets really ugly for a while. I doubt you want to drink Victory Gin anymore than I do, but do you really see this going any other way? I just don't want the slow burn, I'm not getting any younger and I don't want to have to deal with a civil war at 50, know what I mean?

There is no way in hell I'd work for one these big backstabbing blue cities, no way. I say let a couple burn to ground and then maybe others will pull their heads out of their asses.

That is essentially the heart of the matter. If the powers that be don't have your back, nobody has your back. There are locations that have essentially sacrificed their law enforcement community in the hopes of retaining their political positions. Everyone in those locations is a sacrificial pawn and a target for criminals who now KNOW nobody in government is going to protect them.

There will be collateral damage and people stuck behind the lines that don't deserve any of this, but the last line of defense literally has been removed from the board.

C'mon guys, you're all still youngsters. I turned 60 in February, yet two months after my birthday, I'm roping 2000 lbs Bulls for branding. Whether it's a fast AH-6J Little Bird or a fast ranch horse, it's all in the mind. If it all goes to Hell, I'm game for a little action.....

Where are your masks??? And your social distancing needs work. Tsk, tsk.

Masks are for Halloween or ANTIFA. The County my ranch borders on the north side has 695 people in 2126 square miles, and 1 confirmed COVID case. No deaths.

My take as a 20 year LEO (military LEO, but still LEO)

CONDENSED = LOTS OF GOOD IDEAS.

I agree with all of that.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of venues where those points get labeled as hating police, hating authority, sovereign citizen and so on which are just indicators of how many problems we are facing.

People need to stop acting like the big shithole cities are representative of the entire country. Even in 'good times' those places have to be horrible to be a police officer.

Every place I've lived for the last 10+ years has been republican from from the mayor, governor, House/Senate reps, and sheriff. Places like this are not going to treat their officers like sacrificial lambs to the communist mobs. If you look at how people vote per county most of the country is red. Go find a department in these areas and you'll get treated better without inner city scumbags to deal with.

Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, NYC, Chicago, etc have to all be giant NO-GO's if you have any desire to be treated as a normal human even amongst the regular citizenry. Police officer? **** no.
