The nation seems to have turned on the law enforcement officers of this country overnight as protests and demonstrations morphed into riots and a demand to end police departments. As leaders of major American cities, members of Congress and entire city councils have called to either abolish police or gut their budgets, the men and women in blue have bravely continued to do their best to keep people safe.
Protester and rioters, who have gathered en masse in cities and towns across the nation for more than a month, attack officers, light their equipment on fire, and even shoot at the police with near impunity as mayors and governors applaud.
Amen. I told our mayor there will be no defunding of our police dept. Stand up and be counted for the right side.

The nation hasn't turned on law enforcement. The liberal press and anarchists have. They don't speak for me.

At one time, years ago, LAPD was considered one of the finest police forces in the nation, leading in many things.
Cali is so screwed up.

The effort to defund the police is part of the leftist plan to overthrow our country. Defund the police. Release all the prisoners in all our prisons. Completely open the borders. Basically they are encouraging all the violent people to act as their army to spearhead the revolution. Chaos. Burning. Looting. Killing. No police to stop them. Then when it gets bad enough, they have sufficient control to use their thug replacements to start to quell things...by seizing and talking away everyone's guns.
They know that normal people avoid violence. We aren't likely to use the guns we have to fight back unless our families or our homes are directly threatened. We are not yet banding together into militias to take them on.
Perhaps we better do so before it's too late.

This is part of a plan to create enough chaos that people will settle for a dictator who will come in and "save us". Lenin, Hitler, the Perons, Castro et al used these same tactics. We can't let them get away wit it.by stuffing the ballot boxes. Insist on in person voting. If the Founders of this country could walks miles to the polls in all kinds of weather, we can get off our fat backsides and drive over there. You can always advance vote if getting to the polls on election day will be difficult.

The police should have said this about one hour into day one. This is almost as bad as the ridiculous rules of engagement followed by the military during the Bush and Obama years. How many troops were killed by women and child suicide bombers?

One of kids is apolitical- he other two lean libertarian conservative.. however, they have their ccp - are young, see thru the nonsense..
But, I agree- the goal of violence and terrorism is control by any means necessary... and it must be stopped.

The police obeyed leftist orders to stand down and not enforce laws against criminal behavior occurring in their faces. They ignored the rights of property owners and other victims. The police stood silent. Now the left has come for the police, and now they wail. I don't want to listen to your wails, I want you to do your jobs. I don't want to listen to your wails, I want you to stop the politics, social justice warrioring, political correctness, diversity training, quotas, community outreach, hiring quotas, revenue quotas, red light cameras, union extortion, criminal behavior, and enforcing only the laws the left likes. I do want to consider providing the police with some personal liability protections for lawsuits, or the cities can purchase insurance protection, like they do for officers of corporations. Other than these items, the police can wail all they want about not taking it anymore. You should have done your jobs in the first place. Now it is for the police to clean up the mess you are making.

#8....totally agree......what took so long? BTW I live in a nice suburb of Chicago....if Chicago PD want to leave there and work in our town, we'd love to have them....more cops the better! During the riots, they broke into one small phone store, that's it....

And if the police would not have obeyed orders they would have been killed or lose their jobs or get some kind of retribution from their democrat boss They have to follow orders. Just like you #10 if you have a job.
And why should a police officer fight a mob hurling bottles, shooting guns and setting things on fire with out the backup of the mayors and governors. It’s the mayors and governors who should be held responsible for the mobs that got away with this destruction. My only complaint about the cops is when they took a knee. Never should have done that. You want the cops to do their job then support them. That crap about personal liability is just another way to hand cuff the police.

As #2 commented, this is Enemedia, Dim politicians, and repurposed Occupy Wall Street Thugs (remember them defecating on police cars during their prior outburst?)
I think, Chief, that Trump has your back and that if you get into a confrontation with City Hall, Trump will back you. I guess it’s a bit like Iranian freedom fighters standing up to the terrorist regime and the US president speaking out in support of them. Only, of course, more significant.
That would actually make pretty good theater, Trump and a brave Chief of police liberating LA from the mob.

Mayors telling the police to stand down is no different than 0's DACA EO.
We don't need legislatures nor courts when dim dictators preside.

The police are controlled by the mayor and city council of a city. It is just that simple. If the leadership of the PD goes against the mayor, he will be replaced with some new leader who will do the mayor's bidding. If individual officers won't carry out the orders of leadership, they will be replaced.
The problem is NOT with the police, the problem is in the mayor and city council - THEY are the ones doing all of this, and the police cannot do much to oppose them beyond resigning.

Wish old Bill Parker was there to lead the LAPD now. He'd kick patoot and take names and he wouldn't take too many names.

As #10 points out, before everybody gets all misty-eyed about the police, lets keep things in perspective. Society has given them what I consider to be a disproportionate amount of Authority in society these days, compared to past centuries. Ever hear of Asset Forfeiture,just for starters?
A large chunk of the police, especially in commie run states, are quite willing to 'follow orders' and violate your rights that the constitution forbids government at all levels from doing: (See CA violation of 2nd amendment, see NY violation of 2nd amendment, again just for starters)..
We hanged the nazi officers who were 'just following orders'. For #12 and #16, if they follow the orders to keep their jobs instead of refusing to follow unconstitutional orders and resigning, then we need to dig up all those nazi officers that were hanged and apologize to them and their families. Because 'just following orders' is the grease on the slide down into tyranny. Commies couldn't murder hundreds of millions of humans without humans willing to just follow orders.

The LAPD stood down under Chief Gates in the 1992 Summer Race Riots that elected BJ Clinton. They stood by the Crips and Bloods to burn every Korean store. The day before Maxine Waters arranged a truce between the Black gangs. Los Angeles never recovered from this dereliction of duty. The LAPD are really good at giving tickets for not wearing a mask and at arresting paddle boarders at the beach, while providing Sanctuary for Illegal Aliens. Their deeds do not justify their Gold-plated pensions. LAPD better shape up.

#6 & 7: Lefties and the anemia can't wait to hang the "Dictator" tag on Donald Trump. And they'll do it he shuts the Deep State down and declares CW II (Civil War II). Can't ya see Pelosi, Schumer, and Pansy Schiff going spasmodic?

First, hope most of the police departments start voting for Republican candidates instead of the Democrat candidates who ARE going to defund the departments.
Don't be fooled into thinking it's not part and parcel of their desire to fundamentally transform every aspect of life as you know it.
And, that's not necessarily a good thing for most people either. Just sounds like a nice slogan.

Why did I have it in my head that most cops are conservative?
Now I’m not so sure.
Just like us, they have to hide it...
And I’m frickin sick of being SILENT!
I’m sick of hiding my MAGA hat, Trump shirt, NRA hat and shirt, because some sick bittch low-life might want to challenge this 71 year old veteran in the street or in a store.
Let’s take back our country from the MOB!

#12, so of all their choices the police did the dumbest thing possible, stood there and got hurt by thrown bottles and bricks, hundreds of them. They should have protected lives and property in danger with measured force or stayed home. I would have left the force immediately if faced with stupid orders like that.

Good for LAPD. They are being controlled by politicians that are controlled by voters. Many in the minority dominate areas already have criminal records or relatives with criminal records. So, criminals are voting in whoever is easiest on them. The real issue is the penal system. Tons of convicts with multiple felonies are running loose. I recommend prison ships....to keep contraband out. Visit on line video only.

All roads lead to The Beast of The Sea - Obama, and The Anti-Christ - Soros.
Look it up.
The Beast of The Sea, and The Anti-Christ.
The Prophesies of Malachi.
Malachi prophesied these things in the 15th Century. And they’re coming true.
Just saw that The Pedophile Pope - Francis, The Beast of The Land, has weighed in on Anarchy, all over the planet.
