BLM is nothing more than an agitating force looking for a fuse to light.  Sorry, but when peaceful protests like the rally in Phoenix where protestors threw rocks at police and said they should shoot them, they're doing themselves no favors. 

 

What will eventually happen here is that police, out of fear for being ambushed, or just because they don't want to be accused of doing something untoward, won't respond to calls in a timely manner.  They'll basically just put their hands up and say they've had enough.  They'll suddenly become afflicted with the blue flu, and they won't come in.  It's already happening in liberal utopias like Chicago where thugs run a large portion of the city, and police barely dare to enter these no go zones to do any sort of law enforcement. 

 

 

Despite the animosity directed at cops at rallies around the country, these folks are still out there trying to keep the peace and protect people from things like we saw in Dallas.  Meanwhile, they're being shouted at, spat upon, threatened, and in some cases attacked.  There are multiple reports from around the country since Dallas of police being attacked by someone who used the shootings in LA and MN as their justification. 

 

I don't know how those in law enforcement can continue to do their jobs when you've got people like some in this very discussion who are constantly calling them pigs, or worse.  They're dealing with people who would just as soon shoot them as get another mark on their record.  While there are bad apples among law enforcement, 99.99% of police are good people doing a difficult job.  They don't deserve the kind of vitriol we're seeing right now.  As a friend of mine who is a cop here in Jacksonville told me, after doing the job for 25 years, the time has come to retire because of how things have changed.  Even routine traffic stops have become high risk because they just don't know what they're likely to face when they walk up to that car.  That wasn't always the case.  So, this cop, a good cop, btw, is retiring because it's just gotten too dangerous to do the job safely.
