[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if criminals get arrested, they know they’ll skate right back onto the streets as long as DC is controlled by Democrats. Nothing is changing any time soon.

Why should cops even bother risking their lives to make an arrest?[/quote]

Risking their lives? It’s not even that stark. What about risking their pensions and even their career employability just because they might make a justifiable use of force and the protester-class decides to target them?

Not worth it. Let the crimes happen, show up when the perps are gone, take a report, tell the victim to file an insurance claim and go home safe at the end of the day. See a crime in progress? Look the other way, pretend you didn’t see it. [/quote]

This x 100. You make a human being feel like they’re a monster and project that you’re going to prosecute them if an interaction with a hardened criminal doesn’t go look good on someone’s cell phone camera and they’re going to have a natural human response and start acting exactly as PP describes. Why go the extra mile and be proactive about stopping crimes before they happen when it’s putting your career and your family’s reputation and financial security in jeopardy? There are absolutely no incentives for cops to not just dial it in and do the bare minimum.[/quote]

If you're violently slamming unarmed, non-violent, non-threatening people onto the ground, face down, putting your knee on their back, just because they asked you what's going on or why you stopped them, you might in fact be a monster.[/quote]

Links to that happening recently in DC. [/quote]

It happens every week, all over the country.  People are fatigued by the constant stream of incidents of excessive use of force.  Police departments owe it to communities to do better and rebuild trust.[/quote]
