America, We Are Leaving
2020-06-11
From a 3rd generation policeman. The closing lines:
[LawOfficer] I used to talk cops out of leaving the job. Now I’m encouraging them.

It’s over America. You finally did it.

You aren’t going to have to abolish the police, we won’t be around for it.

And while I know, most Americans still appreciate us, it’s not enough and the risk is too high. Those of you that say thank you or buy the occasional meal, it means everything.

But those of you that were silent while the slow turning of the knives in our backs happened by thugs and cowards, this is on you.

Your belief in hashtags and memes over the truth has and will create an environment in your community that you will never expect.

If you think Minneapolis will turn into Mogadishu and that is far from you, it’s coming.

And when it does, remember what your complicity did.

This is the America that you made.

#9  Perhaps mercenaries/security companies will be a beaming business in the near future. Such groups will probably be staffed by well paid ex-police.

#8  TG1520 is correct. The new recruits will require a SJW/NKVD indoctrination component.

#7  Gun sales have been high since 2008 or so, and really surged in recent months — 2.4 million in March alone, according to the internet.

#6  Disarming America is part of the left's playbook to neuter America. It is the way of all tyrants. That cannot be allowed to happen.

#5  The right obsession with guns regardless of other tools of defense is dumb. and
See what the right can do with guns.


We have not yet seen what the right can do with firearms but push hard enough and that might happen--it would not be pretty.

Presently, Virginia 2nd Amendment supporters and other citizens are trying to replace the left wing office holders in their state in a peaceful way; through the election process.

#4  See what the left did with low level violence and not that many guns?

See what the right can do with guns. I believe that was the 19th Century when Western Civ pretty much conquered the world. Break the self imposed leash and its theirs again.

#3  Others will replace them. The Left isn't against cops, they just want their political police.

The right obsession with guns regardless of other tools of defense is dumb. See what the left did with low level violence and not that many guns? They have all corporations licking and giving them millions/billions. A racist organisation like BLM gets money from Coca Cola to Intel...

#2  Charger that's REAL police.

Read Peel's 9 principles of policing. The state's force branded police have never really been following those principles.

#1  Take as much of the weapons and ammo as you can and start helping to train your communities to defend themselves.
