Marginalization of Police and its Consequences

Liberal rule means anarchotyranny. This entails the paradox of a police state where the police have been marginalized and crime is rampant.

Mouth off at a school board meeting and you will draw the attention of federal authorities. But if you commit an actual crime, all you have to do to is run away:

Chicago police officers will no longer be allowed to chase people on foot simply because they run away or they’ve committed minor offenses, the department said Tuesday…

Cops know that when in doubt, they should let the criminal go:

The policy also makes a point of reminding officers they or their supervisors will not be criticized or disciplined for deciding against a foot pursuit or calling one off…

The effect this will have on public safety would be obvious to a small child.

Even if police do feel the bureauweenies won’t punish them too severely for giving chase,

The policy includes a number of circumstances in which an officer must call off a chase, including a requirement that the pursuit must end if a third party is injured and needs immediate medical attention which can’t be provided by anyone else.

All the criminal needs to do is injure an innocent bystander. Perverse incentives are a specialty of the Democrats in charge.

In Britain, burglary is virtually legal now, because police are too busy repressing thoughtcrime to do anything about it:

You can’t expect the police to hunt down criminals when they have other priorities — like promoting sexual depravity on behalf of our degenerate ruling class:

The effects of marginalizing the police and subordinating law enforcement to moonbattery are already evident, just visit a McDonald’s…

…or a grocery store:

Either civilization literally perishes of bleeding heart liberalism, or there will be a backlash against it so massive as to be audible from outer space.
