A Tulsa, Oklahoma police major says hes extremely concerned that cops across America are on the verge of quitting amid global protests against law enforcement.
Every department, every officer you talk to is looking to leave, Maj. Travis Yates told Fox News Tucker Carlson Tonight, adding that he is extremely concerned for the future of law enforcement.
Yates told Carlson that held felt morale among law enforcement officers was really low following the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown by then-Ferguson, Mo. police officer Darren Wilson.
As everybody knows, President Obamas administration found no evidence of wrongdoing in Ferguson even though the narrative is quite different , he said. We were making a resurgence in recent years and this [George Floyds death and the aftermath] has been devastating. This has been Ferguson times 1,000. Every department, every officer you talk to is looking to leave. -Fox News
Yates published a column last Friday on the website LawOfficer.com titled America, We Are Leaving.
In it, he recalls growing up in a law enforcement family and characterized police as Men and women of all races with the same mission, to make the community safer.
27 years has passed and if you would have told me the condition of law enforcement today, I would have never believed you.
The mentally ill used to get treatment and now they just send cops. Kids used to be taught respect and now its cool to be disrespectful.
Supervisors used to back you when you were right but now they accuse you of being wrong in order to appease crazy people.
Parents used to get mad at their kids for getting arrested and now they get mad at us.
The media used to highlight the positive contribution our profession gave to society and now they

I keep hearing that 99% of cops are honest. We are about to find out.
Our FEDGOV wants a CWII.
It’ll happen and 90% won’t survive.
It’s what globalists want too.
God is giving us exactly what we asked for.
1. No prayers in schools
2. Abortion on demand
3. Destruction of Marriage (1 man & 1 woman)
4. Destruction of Family (Divorce, violence etc)
5. Illicit Drug Use
6. Alcoholism in a good portion of families
7. Pornography everywhere
8. Violence everywhere
9. Racial hatred everywhere
10. Hatred of Christianity everywhere
This is not the histrionic it may seem to be. If I were a cop I can’t believe I WOULD’NT get the hell out as fast as possible. Get reassigned, whatever, in the intrim.
Normals were driven away from being cops years ago. Thanks to departments “Getting aligned with the mainstream of 20th Century thought.”
Any cop who doesn’t realize the optics when he quits because some other cop is being punished for violence against civilians is an idiot and probably shouldn’t be trusted with a gun anyway.
I have no sympathy for these cops.
My rationale: This piece should have been written weeks ago ... when the police were being ordered to arrest churchgoers, business owners, and moms with kids in playgrounds during the COVID-19 fiasco.

These arrest targets were not chosen by “these cops.” Waiting for you to get driven out of a job or deprived of benefits for something you did not instigate.
The voting behaviors of specific demographics is not written in stone. There are fundamental things most human beings want, including those unalienable rights listed in the Declaration of Independence. The party that recognizes and protects those rights has a distinct long-term advantage.

That's illegal. How can they get away with that? The policeman had a contract. Said contract made the terms (of the contract) legally binding.
But the suits decided to not fulfill those terms. How is that legal?
If anyone did, then I sure missed it ... and it didnt get the author a segment on Fox News, either.
“They” have been controlled by Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and they are all in cahoots with Soros.

They should pick one single liberal shit hole and quit there to make an example of what the world without cops looks like for the rest of the country. It won’t take long for them to suddenly be loved again.
Sure, but demography can be sliced a lot of ways; race, National origin. ideology. Free college would keep the young exposed to leftist thought during their formative years. It will take hold in some. Many might outgrow it after being exposed to the real world, but in the interim, they probably vote left. You see how far weve slipped in a single generation. We could be one election from the abyss.
“We could be one election from the abyss.”
Oh, I agree. I’m just hoping not.
Im talking about vigilante policing not BLM mafia. There is still the feds.
Even if DJT wins in November, can the Republics collective psyche take another 4 years of this crap? And 2024 will almost surely be a Dim year. President Gavin Newsome, perhaps.
