People protecting you are leaving in record numbers, and you’re less safe

The Department of Justice is putting its civil rights division into local police affairs. A Marxist anti-American organization funded heavily by George Soros is able to affect dispositions in police shootings. In fact, they come out immediately in police shooting of black people, without facts, and with false narratives, to control the end result.

The same organization, Black Lives Matter, and their allies Antifa and the Democrat Party are also demanding the defunding of all local police, which ultimately means destroying the departments to varying degrees.

Demands to abandon qualified immunity for the police have been implemented in some cities, leaving the police open to expensive lawsuits by any lunatic or criminal who doesn’t like what he/she did.

As a result, demoralized cops leave departments in record numbers, and crime rises.

THE POLICE FLEE

In New York City where officers start out with a salary of only $45,000 for one of the most dangerous jobs in the country, 5,300 officers quit or retired last year, 200 or more cops have left the Seattle force, and in the nation’s capital, the union reports that the 3,700-strong Metropolitan Police Department is down 300 badges since the D.C. Council enacted sweeping police reforms last summer.

“Officers are leaving at an alarming rate, and crime is spiking in a lot of different areas,” police union chairman Gregg Pemberton told The Washington Times on Tuesday.

In Baltimore, the department has lost nearly 300 officers since last year, leaving detectives “overwhelmed with their caseload because they, too, are short-staffed,” said the leader of the local Fraternal Order of Police.

“This has a direct effect on the crime fight because there is barely enough time to answer the 911 calls, let alone look for violent offenders,” Mike Mancuso said.

In addition, city councils in far-left cities are not replacing officers who leave by attrition. It’s another way to defund. They plan to replace the police with social workers, who should get huge government-paid insurance plans as one of the benefits.

The mass exodus started upon the handling of the George Floyd case. Before any facts were out, four officers were convicted in the press based on a video. The violence towards and abuse of all police in major cities grew exponentially and the new administration does not have their backs, quite the contrary. Then the absurd decisions to abolish and defund police began.

In at least nine cities that made large cuts to police funding last year, homicides rose by nearly 68%, according to data analysis by The Times. Even cities like the District, which made relatively smaller, symbolic, cuts to police budgets, recorded significant increases in violent crime, The Washington Times reports.

Police departments facing shortages are overloading the officers they have and tired police are out on the beat.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s 2020 budget proposal included a nearly $18 million increase for the Metropolitan Police Department, but the final budget was lower than the previous year. The city of over 700,000 recorded 198 killings by the end of 2020, the highest since 2004.

The police leaving say it is directly due to the demoralizing and dangerous efforts to abolish and defund the police.

FEDERALIZING THE POLICE

All this makes the hard-Left administration happy. They want to federalize and politicize all police departments throughout the nation.

When you have a politicized justice department under the leadership of an ideologue, you get results based on ideology, not facts.

Let’s put this into perspective. Police are leaving Big Blue Cities and it’s Big Blue Cities that are becoming even more unsafe. There is no herd immunity for a gunshot wound. The simple insanity of Blue State Liberals is that their stupidity will get them killed off and that will reduce their political clout. Criminals don’t like rural America and so stay away, because we will protect our property and family! At some point, Big Blue Cities will turn Red. When that happens the Conservatives who are left will protect themselves. Then you will press 1 for Police and 4 to have a criminal “Bagged and Tagged”.

Person calls 911.
Hello, welcome to the city’s automated Request for Assistance System.
Press 1 for police
Press 2 to report a fire
Press 3 for Social Services
Press 4 for Emergency Medical Services
Press 5 for assistance in a language other than English

Individual presses “1”.

Press 1 to report a crime
Press 2 to report a traffic accident
Press 3 to request assistance or stay on the line

Individual presses “3”

We are sorry, but all officers are busy assisting other callers.
Due recent budget reductions in the police department, response times have increased. Please leave your name, phone number and a brief description of the matter which you are calling about. Response times are anywhere from eight to 12 hours.
Be advised that the department no longer responds to domestic violence calls of any sort. If you wish assistance in that area, please return to the main menu and press “3”.
Also remember that petty theft totaling less than $950 is no longer a felony crime and we will not be responding to such requests. Again, these incidents are now being handled by Social Services
Press “9” to return to the main menu and have a nice day.

No police and no second amendment, two men enter one man leaves but Tina Turner is in the Golden Years so there won’t be any entertainment.
