Civilization Is Losing the Liberal War on Police

Congratulations, liberals. Your war on police has been a stunning success — especially in progressive places like Ashville, North Carolina:

The police department in one of America’s fastest-growing cities is facing staff shortages so severe that it will not respond to certain 911 calls, including complaints of burglaries, theft, property damage, identity theft, or trespassing.

Ashville has lost 84 officers since the beginning of last year.

APD Police Chief David Zack says the attrition rate, which has accelerated since protests against law enforcement became widespread in the wake of George Floyd’s death in May of last year, has reached crisis proportions.

The liberal establishment presented us with a choice between lowlife criminals like George Floyd and law enforcement, and bullied the weak-minded into siding with the former. The consequences have begun to unfold.

[Zack] said it is necessary to no longer respond in-person to low-level offenses so that response times to more serious crimes could be cut down.

As the success of the broken windows policy proved in New York before de Blasio let the city slide back into chaos, low-level offenses escalate into violent crimes when ignored. But local liberal activists, characteristically siding with criminals, want the police to remain understaffed.

Speaking of police understaffing, avoid the Minnesota State Fair this year:

After the former state fair police chief retired, the Minnesota State Fair has gone back to the drawing board for assembling a police presence for the upcoming fair.

In the past, organizers put together a State Fair Police Department, consisting mainly of retired cops and active duty officers working in their spare time. But this year, they can’t find the manpower.

Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher says he is having conversations with the fair but commented that getting enough officers will be “daunting” because of the recent drops in the number of officers employed.

The fair has allegedly asked the St. Paul Police Department, the Minnesota State Patrol, and the University of Minnesota Police Department and all three rejected the request because of a shortage of officers.

With the cats having been driven away, the rats will play. Expect wilding “youths” inflicting random violence to be the main feature of the Minnesota State Fair.

To get an idea of where this is heading, look to moonbat-ruled Chicago:

If the police inside the SUV had lifted a finger to defend civilization or their own dignity, they would have been set upon by the mob. If they had then defended themselves, they would be Derek Chauvined and potentially spend the rest of their lives behind bars.

Notice how slowly they drove. They wouldn’t want one of their assailants to fall off the vehicle and twist an ankle. That might be enough to get them fired if not imprisoned.

Leftists responded to this triumph of savagery by spouting the same bogus moonbattery that set all this in motion:

• “Until white people start treating them like human beings instead of animals..until you start respecting them and seeing their dignity and worth…you will continue to get the results you’re getting,” one commenter said.

• Another user replied similarly: “1. Was the vehicle stolen? 2. Did anyone get arrested or hurt? 3. NOTHING to see here[;] the weather was nice and everyone had a great time.”

• “Yeah, how f***ing embarrassing that after literal centuries of police brutality & oppression, black people were allowed to dance in front of [police] and even delay their patrol by a few seconds,” another commenter observed sarcastically. “It was much less embarrassing when police just shot them in the face every day.”

They speak for the liberal establishment that controls most everything.

When they are through destroying America, progressives will replace it with something very different. Local police will have no part in Democrat utopia, because local authority is a brake on their power.
