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

Each step at a time.
It has several names Mallet, Baseball, I've tried a splint, doesn't work, middle joint does not bend at all.

2 hand surgeons around, don't trust either 1 did this surgery 4 yrs ago. WU-FLU has all minor surgery stopped.
Thats my point. Time is not on our side.
The EZ Shield is so easy to rack, every customer with hand issues that I’ve had so far has been pleasantly surprised that they can operate it.
I am prepared to be reincarnation of Vlad the Impaler.
Get your ammo and weapons quickly folks. This is only going to get worse before it gets better. If law enforcement walks off the job we are on our own. We will have to protect our own. Our families, our homes, everything we hold dear. Prepare yourself. This is only going to get worse!! Support your good local police departments and sheriffs.
I'd be surprised if you are any more worried than I am, but defeatism is just not an option. We have to fight. If we go down, it is better to go down fighting.
That said, I believe we will come out of all of this OK. To me, the biggest ideological group we have to fight are those connected to non-STEM academia. The university liberal arts departments and law schools are generally uber liberal, and are the breeding grounds for politicians and activists.

social workers get a bad rap maybe deservedly so but a lot of social workers in hospitals are merely case mangers trying to find nursing home beds for patients or setting up home health...they do good work...
the marriage haters, the woman haters, the man haters, the abortion pushers....as a society we are all going to be punished because our young people didn't bother to breed...
What the left wants.No law and order; chaos.
The left wants to destroy this nation and turn it into a 3rd world hellhole.
People will protect themselves. We will own more guns and organize armed neighborhood private security.

True!

What about those of YOU who were silent while the racist psychos in your ranks were racking up body counts?
