I think the Chicago Police should just go on strike


Recommended Posts

It's getting to the point where I think Chicago Police should just go on strike. I think we should let the BLM members answer all 911 calls in the city to see how things work out for them. BLM members consistently fail to assign blame to individuals who are killed while committing crimes. I can't recall one incident of a Police shooting where the individual shot wasn't committing a crime. Here's an idea: Stop committing crimes, eliminate your exposure to the Police, and never got shot by the Police!. If the Police pull your car over be friendly and cooperate. Do not fight with the police it will not turn out well for you. The cemeteries are full of people who tried to fight with the Police. Teach your children not to fight with the Police. Why is it so hard for some people to learn this?

I feel your frustration

And of course, you're preaching to the choir

 

It will never happen, but they could be getting jobs elsewhere and moving/quiting Chicago totally

 

But I'm in agreement, back away and let the grass/trees start to grow in Chicago

Once it starts to look like Detroit maybe attitudes would change

 

If citizens could actually police their own, don't these clowns think it would have been that way for years, ages, centuries

I agree with it all except the statement of police shootings only occurring during the commission of a crime. There have been plenty of those incidents and many were escalated by police over petty misdomeaners which doesn't warrant the use of force at all.

It's generally the ones who disrespect, resist and/or flee who are the ones doing the escalating.

Disrespect isn't a crime. Cops need to take the high road since they're tax payer funded public servants. And I'm not talking about serious crimes. Petty offenses that are simple fines are often escalated from the start by police who walk around demanding citizens to show their papers.

 

That isn't the America our founding fathers dreamed of. There are bad cops and not all shootings are justified.

Its interesting that in this latest police shooting "of an unarmed black young man", critics of the police seem to believe that stealing a valuable car or two is really nothing more than "boys will be boys" and that any action by the police is an over reaction. I'm not saying that the shooting was either justified or not justified, but that auto theft is a real crime with real consequences, or at least it should be. The BLM anarchists and their media allies paint this issue as nothing more than racist, trigger happy cops against poor and innocent black men. Something tells me that had this young man not stolen the Jaguar in question, he never would have ended up being shot and killed.

The thing that chafes my chaps is that there are people out there that seem to seriously think that, because they really, REALLY disagree with being arrested for shoplifting, that the cop should just let them go.

 

There is no right to forcibly resist arrest. If you disagree with being arrested, your best bet is to submit peacefully and argue your case in front of a judge. The only thing that resisting arrest will do is buy a second charge for resisting arrest. In addition, allowing a subject to decide that he really doesn't WANT to be arrested today is a very short step from anarchy.

 

I agree that petty offenses are nothing to lose one's life over. And if folks that are being arrested/ticketed for having a quarter ounce of weed in their pocket, if they simply take the ticket, nobody loses their life and we all go on (or, if not, it's painfully obviously that a premeditated murder was committed by LE, for which they should be arrested and prosecuted). If they resist the ticket for a quarter ounce of weed, though, it's on them if it escalates to deadly force.

I'm totally expecting the successful defense argument of fear for one's life or great bodily harm being inflicted as the reason why a person shoots at, runs from, or kills a police officer. It's going to happen. A jury of one's peers who buy the narrative will buy that bit of horse dung too.

I didn't say that disrespect is a crime.

 

But how often is it that disrespect is what escalates the situation in the first place?

 

Respectful: Sorry, I'd prefer not to answer any questions.

 

Disrespectful: Man, you, I don't have to talk to you.

I'm sure the suburban police departments are stuffed with applications from Chicago cops who want to get the heck out of there.

 

These days, I think the concerns of the average cop are:

 

1) I hope I won't get assassinated on my shift today.

2) I hope I won't have to shoot anyone today because I'm going out there to enforce the law and keep people safe, not to shoot citizens.

3) I hope to God I don't have to shoot a black person today because it means the end of my career as a cop even if the shooting is totally justified.

 

You'd have to be insane to want to be a cop in this country right now...and doubly so for a cop in a major city like Chicago. So, guess what we're gonna get? Insane people. The environment in this country against cops is just sickening. I have my beefs with them too...but at this moment in time, they're taking WAY more flak than they deserve. Most are just trying to do a job.

Add to the police being in danger, the firefighters and emt medics. We were always taught you do not go into an area until the scene was safe....now, I would not have to make that call on IF it was safe or not.

What if all this unrest is designed to get the cops to step back with a little blue flu or some such until the situation is so bad that the National Guard needs to be brought in, martial law declared, the election suspended, and there's justification for Obama's brown-shirt national police concept...?

As bad as the situation is for CPD in Chicago, I don't see it getting better any time soon. CPD is badly understaffed, and cops are retiring and leaving much faster than new ones are being hired. Many have complained about insufficient training, especially with firearms. The city's finances are in a shambles and don't seem to be headed in a better directly. Possibly worst of all, the city's administration gives the impression that dead cops are better than dead assailants.

I'd say the only flaw in your theory is that no one cares. No one will ask for the National Guard to come in or martial law. When thugs and pimps are killing each other, no one gives a crap. It doesn't get in the newspaper...except, perhaps, an unemotional body count. But when a cop kills a thug...well that's FRONT PAGE NEWS!!!

But, what if the powers that be decide to make it an issue, kinda like they did with hands up don't shoot and black lives matter. They could gin up enough outrage in the mass-market media to make everyone believe that everyone else cares and everybody wants to be on the popular side...

 

All you need is to get the media on board and you can do whatever you want.

 

Case in point: Obama 2008, Obama 2012, Obamacare, gay marriage, cash for clunkers, bailouts for big businesses, gun control, 'assault weapon' bans, 'high capacity' magazine bans, universal background checks and gun registrations, etc.

 

I have always understood that the mass-market media had an extreme leftist bias but it's never been more visible than in the past eight years.

b-b-b-but the police can't go on strike, who will write the parking tickets so we can have more money for cronies?

News flash CPD doesn't really even wrote tickets unless you really complain b**** and moan about something they have better things to deal with plus the majority don't even know how to fill them out. The old-timers won't write tickets heck most don't even take out ticket books the young rookies maybe different but I doubt they even have time most officers 2nd and 3rd shift with have a full que of parkers on the pdt and dispatch will clearly say Im not holding you to the parkers. they never get to them.

 

Hence why the they have the meter maids now on foot and bikes lets not forget the city tow truck guys and the boot/revenue guys who also write tickets.

Some parts of Chicago already look like Detroit, just take the Metra Electric south of Hyde Park or the trains out of LaSalle Street. The only reason why nobody cares is that as long as the north side and west side neighborhoods look relatively pristine and nice, then the city and its better-off residents could care less. Look at the excessive numbers of cops on Michigan Avenue, for example; the city cares more about protecting the money makers (tourists and the wealthy) rather than everybody else.

Disrespect for authority at many levels has increased greatly over the past 50 years, but during the past 7 years the amount of pure hate and disrespect has skyrocketed. There has to be calm on both the citizen and law enforcement side to prevent a total out of control situation, unfortunately from what I have seen some groups in our society aren't going to allow calm to prevail. I am not sure what their end game it nor who is financing it, but the MSM sure seems to be doing their best to push these groups over the edge with the extremely biased reporting.

 

Have a plan folks, it isn't going to get better any time soon. Stock up, you just might need it.
