Police as targets "Recently, three extremely disturbing events involving police as targets show that American society is rapidly approaching a state of anarchy.
"The events, all captured on video, took place in various New York neighborhood: on Monday, July 22, 2019, in Brooklyn and Harlem, and on Wednesday, July 24, 2019, in the Bronx.
"The incident in Brooklyn, captured in a 19-second video, shows bucketsfull of water hurled towards cops, and a cop hit with a bucket while making an arrest, as onlookers watch, laugh and prance in glee.

“ 'This looks like it’s becoming a disgusting trend,” said one police source after the Bronx incident.
"Back in those years, Republican Mayor (1994-2001) Rudolph Giuliani was successfully applying the broken windows theory, according to which targeting minor crimes prevents more serious crimes. Broken windows policing has become associated with the use of “stop-and-frisk” police practice, which caused significant drops in crime rate in New York City.
"But those days are long gone. The current Democrat Mayor (since 2014), Bill de Blasio, has been consistently applying a hands-off approach to perpetrators. He ended the stop-and-frisk practice, while in public speeches he vilifies the police and victimizes the thugs for political expediency.
"Anti-police rhetoric characterizes also many Democrat presidential contenders, like Kamala Harris and Julian Castro, who don’t blame “the few bad apples” but advocate instead for the whole system to be reformed." . . .
Much of this was begun during the Obama administration but the soil was nurtured during the Vietnam protests. Rudy Guiliani discusses Obama's role in this at the 2016 Democrat convention. TD
"Logically, this anti-police approach has immediate effects and longer-term effects. Immediate effects include non-intervention of police in violent protests and drops in police recruitment rate.

"On June 29, 2019, a clash with the left-leaning militant group of Antifa in Portland, Oregon, left conservative writer Andy Ngo with a brain hemorrhage, while police didn’t intervene. Instead, officers told him they wouldn’t approach the aggressors because it could incite the crowd. Portland police and city Mayor (since 2017) Ted Wheeler (another Democrat) have received national criticism of how the demonstrations were handled after videos and photos of Ngo being attacked went viral.
"Also, studies show a decrease in the number of police officers by 11 percent, and that, nationally, 66 percent of police departments report seeing declining numberof applications.
"Long-term effects will show erosion of public authority in society and a spiral down toward anarchy." . . .
