G. Floyd& #39;s death came w/ universal condemnation of what happened and swift arrests/charges on officer(s). No one celebrated Floyd& #39;s death. In fact, despite circumstances underlying his death he became a martyr. Since May, from NY to LA, cops hv bn attacked in unprovoked attacks https://twitter.com/LAPDHollywood/status/1305249254630469632">https://twitter.com/LAPDHolly...
hit with bricks, shot, disabled and killed. Ambushes on cops are at 10-year high. Yesterday, 2 deputies, a mom of 6yo n young man whose mother worries at every shift, were nearly killed in unprovoked ambush. Since Ferguson in 2014, every controversial police shooting has been
followed by harsh, anti-police rhetoric, n depraved chants (pigs in a blanket, fry & #39;em like bacon), and ultimately assassinations of cops in unprovoked, cold-blooded ambushes. Another attacked occurred yesterday. There& #39;s no justifying it in any moral, ethical, or sociological
way. The attackers have felt emboldened by an appeasement approach by mayors, govs, and police chiefs. Taking a knee was not enough, apparently. The @MayorOfLA of the largest city in the largest county in USA went beyond appeasement n was first to call for defunding police,
despite the decades long improvements in his PD, bringing OISs way down, 2000 miles from MN, n PD keeping crime in check as it rose in other cities. Appeasement, knees were not enough. He dbl down by calling his cops "killers". Yet just a month b4 satisfaction with PD resulted in
planned budget increase. Then it was defund by $150 m. The attack on the deputies was foreseeable as politicians who appease and defend immoral behavior demoralize good ppl and embolden the bad. I don& #39;t say this lightly, but such leaders have the blood of these faithful, loyal,
self-sacrificing, servant citizens on their hands! What decent, good persons will want to be a cop in these cities? The pool of recruits is much smaller, and the pool of exceptional recruits dismal. Finally, while no one celebrated GF& #39;s death, look at social media celebrating
attacks on cops in general, and the shooting of the two yesterday. It& #39;s depraved and disgusting. Where are the leaders to temper this outlook?
