Cops pull out: Democrats in need of convention protection can now call a hippie

It seems the Democrats have lost the previously friendly law enforcement community vote. In favor of … what – the craziest fringe extremists in America? This doesn’t sound like it will end well for them. Got trouble, Dems? Call a hippie.

Monica Showalter  "One hundred police agencies delivered a vote of ‘no confidence’ in the Democrats’ fitness to govern, pulling out from contracts to protect the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, just three weeks before kickoff.

"According to Fox News:

More than 100 police agencies are pulling out of security agreements to send personnel to next month's Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee over orders that would prevent officers from using certain crowd control measures during protests, Fox News has learned.

The police departments were part of a collective of outside agencies poised to send officers to secure the event, which will run from Aug. 17-20 and where Joe Biden is expected to be named the party's presidential nominee. The action comes after the Milwaukee Fire and Police Commission directed Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales to change department policy to restrict the use of tear gas and pepper spray.

"Because the police pullout is an entirely reasonable and rational. On a broad level, Democrats have refused to condemn the far-left mob violence directed against police and property in every blue city from New York to Minneapolis, to Portland, to Seattle.

"They’ve also demonized police, blaming them for every act of violence that occurs as leftist mobs run wild, tearing down statues and destroying property. President Trump’s recent effort to send in federal officers to protect courthouses in some cities has been met with blue city mayors claims that police make matters worse,

"Democratic leaders such as Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti have demonized police as “killers” while Marxist Democrats such as New York’s Mayor Bill de Blasio gave ‘the talk’ to his black son about the wickedness of the police. For Democrats, the cops are always ‘pigs.’

"No Democrat has condemned the widespread violence of blue cities, nor stood up for the police officers who are being sent into harm’s way to stop it." . . .

Tie police hands and you will see lots of citizens with AR-15s  "We learned some people in Minneapolis have begun to protect their streets, as we see in this report:   

Minneapolis residents have begun patrolling their own neighborhoods after violent crime across the city surged in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in late May.

The patrols, some armed, are part of a largely grassroots efforts to protect neighborhoods, businesses, and residents from rioters and criminals. Some groups have constructed barriers at the entrance to their neighborhoods and control who can enter, according to the Wall Street Journal. . .
