Blaze News readers know that a few months ago, Toronto police asked residents to leave their car keys at their front door for thieves to steal, to reduce the risk of criminals physically raiding their homes and getting the keys. I’m sure he remembers the startling moment when he gave the instructions. their key.
Of course, the backlash against anything that suggested total surrender was brutal. But this proposal, in many ways, encapsulates the alarming degree to which some police forces, in many places, have thrown their hands up and bowed down as crime soars around them.
“We’re not fooling around!” one extremist can reportedly be heard yelling at a police officer, while another declared: “I’m going to blow you up, you son of a bitch!” That’s what it means.
To be clear, a convincing argument can be made that police and their police officers may not be to blame for this disturbing trend. In fact, progressive politicians, woke judges, and crime-soft district attorneys are hell-bent on dismissing criminal charges, siding with crooks, punishing cops, and literally defunding the police. I’ve been working on it. All of this proves to the outlaws that there are often laws to control crime. It doesn’t make much sense these days.
In the face of this lack of support, and what the left has learned it can get away with, especially after the George Floyd incident and the dubiously named 2020 “Summer of Love,” take action. Retreat that you thought twice before or could even thoroughly blame the police?
Here are 10 examples of police doing so:
Portland police captured footage of a man wearing riot gear running away from a mob trying to stop a home foreclosure.
Video captured the moment in December 2020 when a violent left-wing mob successfully chased off Portland police to stop a home foreclosure. Members of the mob appeared to kick and throw rocks at retreating police vehicles, run at officers, and attempt to steal equipment while taunting and threatening them. They ended up literally chasing the cops down the street. “We’re not fooling around!” one extremist can reportedly be heard yelling at a police officer, while another declared: “I’m going to blow you up, you son of a bitch!” That’s what it means.
Video shows an Austin police vehicle retreating from an advancing mob during a street occupation.
The incident in question occurred in February 2023, and police say they responded to four street occupations in one night. KXAN-TV reported, added that the lawlessness included the crowd throwing rocks and bottles and pointing lasers at police officers. In the video above, what appears to be a firecracker explodes very close to a police vehicle that was retreating from a brazen mob. Police said one officer was injured and “several police vehicles” were damaged, with another video showing a crowd pushing police cars around, the department said.
Left-wing extremist punches videographer in the head outside drag queen story time.The sheriff’s deputy standing just a few feet away does nothing.
The incident occurred in April 2023 outside the West Hollywood Library, where a drag queen story hour was being held. Footage posted on Twitter by Los Angeles reporter Samuel Braslow shows a videographer dressed in purple and blue shielding a Los Angeles sheriff’s deputy standing next to him from a growing number of leftists approaching threateningly. I beg for it over and over again. the videographer asked him as the deputy started to leave. “Why are you leaving me?” After the sucker punch, the aide held up a finger at his assailant and said, rather half-heartedly, “No fighting, sir.” Not only did the lawmaker appear to have witnessed the physical attack, but so did at least three other members who were standing in the distance, but no one did anything about it.
Women were caught on video twerking on the hood of a Chicago police car.A police officer appears to be handcuffed at a noisy scene.
Chicago police announced in June 2021 that they were investigating a viral video that showed three women twerking on top of a police SUV. No, it wasn’t a violent crime. But the brazenness of the display in the clip, when a crowd gathers around the vehicle and police don’t dare do anything about it, highlights the degree to which people are convinced they can get it for free these days. That kind of behavior doesn’t work. In fact, a Chicago Sun-Times columnist called the police on his car for inciting a “disturbance” on the street.
