You heard me say this months ago, let me say it again, OFFICERS ARE QUITTING IN DROVES!!!!



They are tired of this crap, especially here in the states, in the big cities. Their hands are tied, and the violence towards them gets worse.



This is especially alarming, with the coming election. I believe the officers know this as well, and are getting out while they can.



Imagine the scenario, either way, I FEEL something is gonna happen. Especially if Trump wins, the riots are gonna go berzerk. The police aint gonna wanna deal with that crap, they have already had enough.



Im just speculating, but I feel Martial Law may be enacted or something if things get bad. No officers means troops will be needed.



The news just announced tonight about getting supplies, more than they did last week or two. So be prepared, I've seen cart fulls again of crap like mac and cheese and such, folks know, and now that its on the news, its gonna be bad again, like during the TP crisis.



I hope all of you are prepared. And I will leave you with this message from an officer out of Richmond Virginia.........

Today, I officially consider myself done. Today is the last time I wear a badge and uniform to work after 9 years. I wish I could say it took a fancy job or a substantial pay raise to bring me to leave a career in law enforcement, but that simply isn't the case. I'm done being randomly flipped off, cursed at, attacked, and hated based on what I wear to work. The tension is exhausting. I'm done being forced to watch lawlessness and savage behavior while it's being normalized and used for political gain. I'm done dealing with the horrible things that take place every night while people go about their lives clueless and judging those who do face those evils. The willingness to serve the community like I once believed in is gone. The way society is becoming and the war on police make the sacrifice no longer worth it. Seeing parts of the city look like a third world country while excuses are made to normalize it just isn't something I can maintain restraint and witness take place anymore, especially after the recent chaos. The fact cities and departments have to plan ahead knowing the normal behavior is to expect more lawlessness and riots regardless of the outcome of the election is something I'm no longer going to be a part of. It'd be a different story if these same cities allowed police officers to be police officers and maintain order. The physical restraint is gone after these last several months and I'm to the point I'm going to react, I'm not going to stand there another night shaking in frustration while I'm taunted, having things thrown at me, or attacked. A warranted reaction that almost anyone would have in a given situation isn't something there is room for as an officer since we can't rely on our localities or departments to back and support us. They've literally stripped police from having the ability to effectively do their jobs and maintain law and order. I struggle to understand how the masses find this safe for any American citizens. It's made coming to work an uncomfortable and miserable feeling which is draining. It makes me feel like sacrificing my peace of mind to maintain peace for the community isn't worth it anymore. I didn't join to bring terrible shit home with me at the end of the night. I didn't join to fight anyone or make everything a pissing match. I didn't join to always feel tense and under attack. I didn't join to babysit adults who don't know how to act civilized. I didn't join to be painted as the bad guy while we bend and cater to criminals with no sense of accountability. I damn sure didn't join to lose myself and become syndical while dealing with all the worst things our world faces. I sacrificed time with loved ones, friends, a normal life, and my overall health. I lost sleep over things that while encountering them, I related to in a way or was affected by. After 9 years of wearing a badge, I quit. I quit prioritizing the safety and needs of strangers in the community while sacrificing my own. I quit being a pawn to be put in the middle of current affairs and made out to be the enemy to the people I encounter and keep safe every night. I quit being away from my loved ones to be there for yours in time of need. Those who seem to be the most opinionated also seem to base opinions and actions on emotion rather than educating themselves with facts or having first hand experience. There is a lot of ignorance running through our communities and a major lack in accountability. However officers are being hung out to dry for doing their jobs. I've seen coworkers treated unfairly in the court system and internally in the department they work for purely to appease the citizens and make an unwarranted example of an officer. However there remains a level of expectation to be a police officer with your hands tied behind your back. It's building hesitation and distrust, which is an even more unsafe dynamic. I've seen officers put out of work while acting in good faith and doing their best in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Regardless of an individual's feelings and beliefs, pushing hatred and acting aggressive towards another person without any cause other than their profession or race is wrong and common sense should tell us that. Common sense should also tell us that an asshole is an asshole and just because an encounter involves people of different races, doesn't mean it was racially motivated. We should also take into account the differences between unfamiliarity, discomfort, or biases towards a person or group that someone may not understand or necessarily have a good memory of vs racism. You want to remove police, I'll remove myself happily. An officer that's volunteered with underprivileged youth, one who instead of issuing drug charges sought help and got placement in a halfway house program for strangers, one with good community relations and one as capable in any situation as any other officer. I will worry less, stress less, and cry less. I will sleep better, smile more, and feel better overall. I will be another civilian but I will always stand for what I believe in and I will stand behind those who continue to hold down our communities and keep this country in tact while it's being ripped apart from all directions. I just won't be representing a department or put in an impossible position that risks my life, my freedom, or my ability to provide for my family. Simply put, Ima do me and take my talents elsewhere ✌🏼



P.S if you think there aren't officers trying and ready to leave law enforcement across the country, better think again. A lot of people are behind the scenes finding a way out while lowering their standards as to what it'd take to bring them to leave. Officers are beginning to hear from former co workers how much better they feel after getting out of law enforcement and can relate to the areas which are impacted and matter most to many. Officers are tired of being targeted and silenced while sacrificing more than most can imagine, including peace of mind which can't be bought. They're tired of their family life being affected or entirely stripped from them because of this job. Officers are congratulating those who do find their way out of the profession, that's how unhealthy of an environment it is becoming. Keep pushing because I look forward to seeing people live better and feel better when they stop burdening themselves with everyone else's bullshit and get on with their lives. I'll hold my loved ones down and keep my household safe and then when shit hits the fan and there's nobody to call or cry to, will you?

This is a terrible situation Blazor..



My brother hasn't told me about a mass exodus of police from their profession in Canada, and I hope it stays that way.

As for riots, will it get worse if the president wins?



Will they end if Joe Biden wins?



Are people stocking up on supplies no matter what the outcome?

Americans always think armageddon is right around the corner, and they better buy extra supplies now.

I highly doubt you'll have an issue in Canada.



The only thing that might happen, if something happens, is supply lines of things out of the US.



Up there y'all dont have the "war against cops" that has been going on down here.



Not only have they been leaving in droves, but suicides as well. They are tired of being treated badly, or made to feel bad, or feel helpless. Tired of being spat on and having things thrown at them. Its bad.



Do you remember how the white nationalists were treated in Charlotesville? They are being treated like that, but on a larger scale, and not allowed to fight back or anything.

People are stocking up anyway, because no one knows what is going to happen. Plus the media has been inciting the paranoia here and there. Like a couple weeks ago they sad "61% of Americans feel a Civil war will happen after the election", thats when I noticed others at the stores stocking up on things. I was at the grocery store Monday, and the parking lot was packed.... on a MONDAY! When I see folks stocking stuff like 20 boxes of mac and cheese, loads of eggs and milk and bread, TP, you know, thats when I knew folks were prepping. I've been prepping here and there a lil at a time, over the last month.



I think ANTIFA and BLM gonna riot if Trump wins.



If Biden wins, they might not, but.... if its super close, after all the rigging we've seen, the Trumpers might do something. I dont think they will "riot", but will prolly take to the streets and march in protest.



The only way Biden will win, is by cheating, the mail in ballots. So I feel something might happen since Trump prolly gonna win.

That is true. Biden will probably win, tut their stooges will cheat like crazy.

I believe that Trump will win the general election but it will be very close due to the onslaught of harvested ballots that democrat operatives will flood into the system. There will be recount after recount in every close precinct in the nation until the democraps either get their way or the SCOTUS has to step in and rule on a winner. In the case of a SCOTUS decision, either way the winner will never be seen as legitimate by at least half the nation. We will never be the same and the last shreds of social or political cohesiveness the US currently has,  will dissappear,  never to return in my lifetime. Eventually it will lead to a nation that is completely politically and socially balkanized.

Too many stupid people who see themselves as oppressed. Too many over priviledged coddled people leading lives that are insulated from the rest of the world.  Too many people raised in the safety and relative security of the US but refuse to see how lucky they are or why they are lucky. It's a nation stuffed full of spoiled brats who have NEVER faced real social, environmental or political adversity.  Just look at some of these idiot leftwing moonbats... overly entitled, ignorant of even the basics of the US system, outraged over things like the color of M&Ms or Halloween costumes, frightened of the world so badly that they need safe spaces to hide in...These people are legion and their awful kind are growing with each generation and the growth is accelerating like a malignancy....



And you ask "what is happening to the USA?".... The growth of unrestrained ignorance, a lack of civic respect, self righteousness, rampant self absorption, entitlement, and flat out stupidity, via liberal/progressive/socialist indoctrination is what is happening....The chickens the liberals started to loose upon our society during the cultural revolution of the late 1960s have come home to roost with a vengeance.

You have explained what has been happening in the US  clearly and cut to the chase ... spot on.



The rest of the West does not see it or display it as dramatically as does the US. For the rest of the West it has been happening without fanfare and without a fight. At the same time, politics for  the rest of the West has long ago moved leftward .. our right being more center than right. And yes, I'm including Canada.



In other words, the rest of the West is already at where your country is fighting about .. or at least about 1/2 are fighting to retain.



No matter how this election turns out, the future beyond it is not good as the beast is growing bigger every year since as you mention, the 60s. I see no way it will ever reverse anywhere in Western Society  ... especially with (1). total media thought control and (2). education system indoctrination start to finish  .. the coup de grâce, (3)  being more recent high tech mediums totally under left / prog control providing the final "thought control"

Further, today 1/2 don't even want to work to improve their situation



The high point in all the West for human endeavour was WW2 and appears to have continued for a few years after.  Since then it's been slowly eroding away human effort towards the point we are at today .. much "effort" now dedicated to humanity-destructive behavior .. as Govt grows



The entire West has slowly disintegrated. The only  difference is that some in the US have fought  back, albeit fruitlessly in the long haul. The rest of the West just let it happen
