<8f79fcda> War on police is deeper than you might think. It’s not just about “defunding.” This has been in the works for years. They have been incrementally positioning police into a shit situation through horrible policy decisions.
<5547a085> 100% support LEOs across the board
<5547a085> I dont expect perfection from they, but their service is invaluable
<8f79fcda> Slippery slope. Incrementalism.
One day they are told to overlook certain laws, and then police are required to enforce laws for things that just yesterday were “okay” – no wonder people get pissed at cops. Political leadership is full of manic schizophrenics.
<5547a085> “defund the police” is not about police, its an attack on the very notion of civil and municipal services
<5547a085> Firefighters, EMS, Park Rangers, Trash pickup, Sewer and Waste management
<5547a085> Non-governmental and government service, in tandem with CIVIL SERVICE
<8f79fcda> Your rank-and-file police officer needs to be a full time student just to keep up with the delta in statutes.
<8f79fcda> Politicians have no interest in setting up police and the citizenry for success.
<8f79fcda> They profit off of it actually.
<8f79fcda> everyone suffers from not having a clear anchoring in what is right or wrong.
<8f79fcda> Moral illiteracy
