here's what happens when the cops refuse to do their job. evidently nothing, with several examples;


Atlanta, GA — The arrest and murder of George Floyd last month set off one of the largest protests in American history. Unfortunately, they were not all peaceful and many places saw rioting and destruction as many communities found themselves unable to contain their rage. Atlanta, Georgia was one of these places. After the protests began to subside, however, something quite telling began to happen in the city. Crime dropped dramatically.
Prior to Atlanta officers killing Rayshard Brooks in a botched DUI stop, crime began plummeting. Even after the brief unrest from protests due to Brooks, crime was still on the decline.
Though many officers from the APD called in sick after the cop who killed Brooks was charged, records show they were refusing to do their jobs well before this.
According to a scathing report from WSB-TV, prior to police killing Brooks and throwing a collective temper tantrum, traffic stops were already down a whopping 80 percent. When cops aren’t extorting people for victimless crimes like window tint, license plate lights, seat belts and other arbitrary “offenses,” there is no need to “defund police” because this will do that for them.
The union representative who spoke to WSB-TV said the officers are refusing to do their jobs because they are scared to be put in jail if they hurt someone. Seriously...........read more...........
calling the cops for difficulties in your home can lead to much more than you'd like to have, as this article shows, and then provides several more equally troublesome cases if you choose to go further;


Bethesda, AR — An Arkansas family just learned the hard way what calling 911 in a police state can look like. While there are certainly police officers who will heroically rush in to stop dangerous situations, there are others who appear to get off on asserting their authority and hurting people. The officer in the video below appears to be the latter.
Sunday night, Kandy Dowell and her husband Kevin got into a verbal argument and then made the absolutely terrible decision to call the police to get help solving it. Instead of help, however, they got a raging Independence County sheriff’s deputy who terrorized them and their child.
“It was just on from there,” Kandy Dowell said as the deputy arrived. “I mean as soon as that man broke through my threshold, he was aggressive. It was just awful. It was a nightmare.”
According to KAIT, Dowell said she and her husband, who has PTSD and depression, were arguing. Often, she said they will call 911 to defuse the fights — a decision they will likely never make again.
“They come out here and they usually help us grab a bag and we leave,” she said. “That’s usually the end of it, but this time it was not.”
Kandy says that they’ve called 911 so many times for help with their arguments before that many of the deputies know them and know how to diffuse the situation.
But, she said that’s not what happened Sunday night...........read much more if you choose..........
fred releases more of his political incorrectness into the wild here and its one of the reasons i like his stuff;
What fun, what entertainment. And rare: One seldom sees the collapse of a landmark society in a rush of wondrous idiocy. Would I could sell tickets. Don’t look at it as a loss, but as a show, an unwanted but grand amusement.
The coup de grace in our ripening decadence is the current uprising purportedly, though implausibly, over racism. But never mind. The causes don’t matter. The deal is done.
Still, it is interesting to recognize that the protesters are, perhaps deliberately, confusing the incapacity of blacks with systemic racism. In truth, America has made the greatest effort ever essayed by one race to uplift another. Reflect: In 1954 an entirely white Supreme Court unanimously ended segregation. Later it found the use of IQ tests by employers illegal because blacks scored poorly, then found “affirmative action,” racial discrimination against whites, legal (hardly oppression of blacks, this). An overwhelmingly white Congress passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, the Voting Rights Act the next year. A white President sent troops to Little Rock to enforce desegregation. There has been an enormous flow of charity to blacks: Section Eight Housing, AFDC, Head Start, hiring quotas, set-asides, sharply lowered standards in police and fire departments. We now have free breakfasts for black children, then free lunches, in addition to outright welfare. In aggregate they resemble a distributed guaranteed basic income. Which is interesting..........read more....
this is big news for those of us who oppose the empire and its buddy, israel;

Eliot Engel, a Zionist warmonger who has been in Congress since 1989, has been crushed at the ballot box by Bernie Sanders and Ilhan Omar endorsed black leftist Jamaal Bowman in New York’s majority non-white 16th District.
The outcome is a stunning blow for the Zionist lobby. The Israeli Engel is the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee who voted for the Iraq war and advocates extreme neo-conservative policies. While Engel is a Democrat, he is considered to be an important AIPAC asset in Washington.
Engel touted high powered endorsements from Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and even the bought out Congressional Black Caucus over his black insurgent opponent.
Nevertheless, Bowman’s unexpected momentum prompted a massive avalanche of Jewish money to Engel, including from Republican Party Super PACs, in an attempt to try and save his seat.
While Engel and his Super PACs outspent the underdog many times over, Bowman is currently leading him by 25 points with 670 of 732 precincts reporting.........read more.......
