It's absurdity and insanity to anybody looking at it objectively.

what makes it even more insane is that to question such a policy is considered "intolerance" aka social pariah status

Yep! That's the name of the left's game. Question anything and you're intolerant, racist, xenophobic, etc. It's how they guilt people.

Can they also self-identify as a corrections officer instead of an inmate, so they can be on the other side of the bars?????

I know a lot of current and former LEO hang around this thread, so I just wanted to say thank you all for what you do and the sacrifices made.

Best wishes to all the families and organizations who suffered casualties on and off duty.

Stay safe out there as best possible.

Classy.

I'm on the fence with places that advertise and push for this kind of stuff. One one hand some folks just made a bad decision and don't deserve the hardships that follow, and on the other hand some folks deserve everything they have coming to them.

MN has Minnesota Freedom Fund which is run by anti-police, anti-law nutjobs. They intentionally find and fund the releases of repeat and violent shitbags, and then turn the blame on society when that person ends up back in jail. Not long ago they funded the release of a repeat violent offender, and a week later that person put someone in the hospital, then tried to justify their decision by saying prisons don't stop a person from being violent and incarceration's don't work, and as a community we need to stop being so shitty to drive people to be violent. While there may be some truth in saying we as society need to stop being so shitty, shitbags will still be shitbags regardless.

Probably not. Was school in session?

I haven't read all 5,000 posts in this thread so apologies if it's been covered. I have a friend who is a County police officer 5 years from retirement. Due to all the insanity that has unfolded over the few years, it's become so risky to his retirement and personal reputation that he hasn't made a traffic stop in 2 years. Even wearing a body camera when making a stop, there is a fear that his administration will not support him if he has to protect himself. All of this defund the police nonsense and public scrutiny seems to have resulted in the streets being less safe than ever.

Any thoughts on this?

You are observing a culture shift where good cops no longer want to put themselves at risk and are choosing to preserve and safeguard their livelihood over the objective that made the large majority of us enter this profession in the first place (…e.g….taking bad guys to jail). When you don't feel supported, morale suffers. When morale suffers, you do the bare minimum or little to nothing at all. When you do the bare minimum, complacency sets in and you simply stop caring. When you stop caring, buoyed by laws that are too lax/pro-criminal, the community suffers as criminals run amuck. It has become a lawless free-for-all in every blue state/city in the union.

Well said, I can tell you this has been a growing sentiment for the last 20 years or so as more and more political correctness seeps into society and administration.

I can't argue with anything you state here ... up until you imply that it is only the blue states suffering lawlessness. In actuality, the murder rate is higher in red states than blue. Not debating causality, only pointing out that politics is not as big a factor in lawlessness as you have implied.

So where does that leave the well meaning police officer where every encounter he/she has there is a gun involved - because they brought it to the encounter. My friend's position is that he would just about rather have all police officers not carry a firearm if it means that drawing it on someone is likely to end their career and cost them their life savings in the civil suit.

Yes, school in session. That's 39 over. At least Reckless?

It's silly to assert that being a police officer without a firearm in the U.S. is the better idea. If that's his position, he needs to get off the beat ASAP. No way would I deal with these savages and not have a firearm in my possession.

I said blue states/cities, meaning either or. My point was that Democrat-run states and/or cities are where majority of the crime occurs. Most crime stats have…

• Detroit, Michigan
• New Orleans (and Baton Rouge), Louisiana
• Baltimore, Maryland
• Memphis, Tennessee
• Cleveland, Ohio
• Kansas City, Missouri
• Chicago, Illinois
• Los Angeles, California

….as being really high crime areas in the nation and all are either blue states or blue cities in red states.

It could be articulated as such.

In Maryland we have a 3 tier possibility of add on violations: negligent driving, reckless driving, and reckless endangerment. It's my understanding that you can get the negligent driving citation and be sent on your way whereas the other more serious levels require a popo uber ride to the graybar hotel and an impounded vehicle.
