If the nation’s police officers walked off the job today, it would be hard to blame them. Sunday’s anti-cop riots in Lancaster, Penn., have made the current de facto rules of engagement clear: Officers may never defend themselves against lethal force if their attacker is a minority. They should simply accept being shot or stabbed as penance for their alleged racism.
In Lancaster, an officer responded to a domestic violence call at a residence where a man had stabbed four people last year. As the officer approached the house, a female escaped out the front door. A man — the suspect from the previous slashings — then emerged and ran at the officer, brandishing a knife over his head. The officer shot him, as the officer was by all appearances legally authorized to do, to stop the threat of deadly force. Twenty-seven-year-old Ricardo Munoz died from the officer’s gunfire.
The response from the “community,” after this summer of lethal cop hatred, was predictable. Rioters pelted Lancaster cops with bricks, glass bottles, and sharp projectiles ripped from road barricades. They smashed the windows of police cruisers, the downtown police precinct, the post office, cafés, and stores. They torched a dumpster dragged from another part of the city. They pulled street signs and bike racks out of sidewalks to use against the police.
Such anarchy, with its photogenic arson, is just the latest chapter in the violence that is now routinely directed at officers during ordinary law enforcement activities, as well as during riots.
On August 26, a driver in The Bronx attacked two officers who had asked him to move his car from a fire hydrant, the Post reported. In June, a Baltimore cop was shot in the stomach while trying to break up an illegal house party.

John Nolte article...Do the woke want to ban self defense against certain races
If the right would go on offense and start taking out these bastards with extreme prejudice it would be over very quickly
Those officers need to get out NYC altogether. Maybe go Upstate?
If not, there are a ton of other cities and towns in other states who would welcome them and treat them like humans. They should explore those options.
We love our officers here in my tiny little town. And it’s mutual. Every last officer here says there’s NO amount of money on Earth that would persuade them to go to places like NYC, Seattle, Portland, Kenosha, etc., etc.

Where do I sign up?
That’s how genocide works - banning self defense against certain races.
Well that’s a matter a perspective. Cops could simply claim they are a minority and viola. This game can be played both ways.
Sorry, Richardo, but what did you expect? If you rush an officer with a knife over your head and don’t stop, his gun will like stop your advance for you.
Thank you for posting.

We need to go out with big protest demonstrations in favor of police and law and order. We already have the harm against our side now. So if someone says “Oh, dear, oh, my goodness, the right is making people come out to pelt them and threaten them——that’s already true if you blunder into Seattle or Portland, etc., today anyway.
Who misraised those whiny punk-ass bitch protestors?
Haven’t heard from them in my college town—I think they know better! (We townies are a buncha rednecks & farmers...)
yes
but dont say that here, you may get warned about it
Democrats are ok with that.
When I look at these photos, I simply can’t make sense of things—until I picture each protester with an arm raised in a “heil Hitler,” and suddenly everything falls into place.
The Lancaster guy who was supposed to answer charges of stabbing four people already before flying at that poor cop was pure craziness. This, insane Lefties, is your plan?!!
Um, no. People are absolutely going to defend themselves.
This will only end when rioters are met with deadly force in a few places.
It’s going to have to happen...Sooner or later, some group is going to have enough and take things into their own hands...
I demand protesters be required to remain motionless for 30 seconds every 15 minutes.
