Law enforcement will start to strike in response to the Chauvin verdict.

Police will call in sick, and not show en masse.

Crime will run rampant until the politicians figure out how to satisfy police.

Police unions will flex their muscles.

That is what happens next...plus police retiring early, quitting, and nobody wanting to take their places.

Arm up, and get ready to protect yourselves. The Wild Wild West is back.

The more government employees who call in sick the better.

No justice, no police.

If they are calling in sick because they are afraid they cannot murder someone while on the job, then that's fine by me and should be fine by everyone else.

Good police would not back Chauvin, but the inept Democrats controlling these cities is enough reason for the men in blue and other first responders to not show up

Careful what you wish for.

When law enforcement vanishes, all manner of violence breaks out: looting, settling old scores, ethnic cleansing, and petty warfare among gangs, warlords and mafias. This was obvious in the remnants of Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, and parts of Africa in the 1990s, but can also happen in countries with a long tradition of civility. As a young teenager in proudly peaceable Canada during the romantic 1960s, I was a true believer in Bakunin’s anarchism. I laughed off my parents’ argument that if the government ever laid down its arms all hell would break loose. Our competing predictions were put to the test at 8:00 A.M. on October 17, 1969, when the Montreal police went on strike. By 11:20 A.M. the first bank was robbed. By noon most downtown stores had closed because of looting. Within a few more hours, taxi drivers burned down the garage of a limousine service that had competed with them for airport customers, a rooftop sniper killed a provincial police officer, rioters broke into several hotels and restaurants, and a doctor slew a burglar in his suburban home. By the end of the day, six banks had been robbed, a hundred shops had been looted, twelve fires had been set, forty carloads of storefront glass had been broken, and three million dollars in property damage had been inflicted, before city authorities had to call ni the army and, of course, the Mounties to restore order. This decisive empirical test leeft my politics in tatters (and offered a foretaste of life as a scientist). Steven Pinker, The Blank Slate

I hope any cop who sympathizes with Chauvin goes to seek positions that require less judgment and responsibility than serving the public as a police officer.


Cops who are threatened by this are bad cops. It's a net benefit for society if they go work in an office or something more befitting of their skillset.

So what, there will be plenty of remaining cops more than willing to milk that OT pay.

Doesn’t mean you must feed the addiction.

If I were a cop, especially in Democrat mob ruled places, I'd avoid as many potential confrontations, especially with blacks, as possible....pretty much let them kill each other, the smartest option now.
