When the left has eliminated a significant percentage of the police force and demoralized the rest... what’s to deter three or four busloads of militia from coming from different directions and converging on a trouble spot to sanitize it?

Just saying. Eventually, lack of police presence cuts both ways...

Back in the Golden Age of “wooden shampoos,” if a Chicago cop was shot, the CPD would turn the entire neighborhood upside down until the perp was identified, located and then received his just desserts while resisting arrest. All before the sun rose the next morning.

Everyone knew the rules and things like this didn’t happen often.

Cop killers have a special place in the hearts of democrats. I predict a professorship at Occidental or Columbia.

Years ago I posted what used to happen when something like this happened. It was removed by the mods.
So now I post this...

” In the olden days when something like this happened a section of the city would be burned down and (comment censored to appease the mods) but then it would be same to walk the streets at night for decades.”

Yes, when officers were killed all the others and brass turned out in uniform to show solidarity. Not sure if that happens now aside from Blue Bloods.

A few years ago, City of Detroit. “The reason why he targeted and shot and killed the police officer was he needed a gun quickly and he told his lawyer later that he remembered all cops carry guns so he killed him to get his gun.”

Opposite of fear of reprisal for killing a cop.

Well, there’s another life lost. Chicago is a death factory for police.

And more will die with that service weapon missing...

........governments in the US, hobbled by DEI and Affirmative Action hiring and elected officials for decades have proven that they could not and cannot fix a flat tire on a child’s bicycle.

Until a semblance of meritocracy returns to the City of Chicago, things are just going to get worse and worse. We don’t have enough troops to put in all the blue cities. When the cops start quitting in mass, militias and the true meaning of the 2nd amendment are right around the corner.
