why it's hard to sympathize with the police

When the police themselves—meekly obeying their leftist masters—tell the citizens they need to knuckle under and kowtow to the tsunami of big-city crime, it's hard to feel any sort of sympathy. When law enforcement refuses to enforce the law, what's left of its essence?


If the police don't police, in what sense are they the police? I get that policing is a shitty, high-pressure, thankless job, but if the police themselves decide to "just follow orders" from leaders who don't deserve to lead, why should I care what happens to individual law-enforcement officers? The police are opening the door to frontier justice. Well, good.
