This should be outside every Democratic Party run city. Tell people the truth for a change.
If the Democratic Party captures the presidency and Congress, followed by the Supreme Court, that notice should be put at every airport and border crossing into the USA.
They should just all walk off the job.
As a former union steward, walkouts and strikes generally hurt the union members more than the company. What is FAR more effective is work slowdown or stoppage. Keep drawing the paychecks. Be there. In uniform. Be on patrol. Be at work - but doing little to nothing. That's what they protesters want anyway, isn't it? The police to do nothing. That what the mayor and city council want too. Give them what they want. Don't arrest people. Stop no one. Question no one. Don't do much of anything - but do almost nothing correctly and well. Be on the job - not doing the job.
I could tell past war stories of the difference between a walk off and a slowdown/stoppage, but why post the obvious?
Denying reality only further demonstrates your detachment from it.
They could spend a bunch of time outside Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme watching for crime.
They should just all walk off the job.
They should. Then they can hire *good* cops who aren’t giant ******s.

She's been mayor seven years, in an interview I watched this week, she said she's been the subject of two traffic stops.
Deputy's union spokesperson is in total denial.

I don’t want anyone to get hurt so my next comment isn’t related to violence: there are no good cops. They might be decent people, great people, don’t know. But there are no good cops.
I think most would guess no one would be surprised of your view that the NYC police who were killed rushing into the twin towers on 9/11 were evil cops and good ridden, too bad the heroes attacking us on 9/11 didn't get more.
If you take blue states out of 911, we would barely have any death rate at all.
:lol: Another reason to have no blue states.
Oh, now it makes sense. She's using her office for personal payback. How dare SHE, the goddess, be stopped by the police!
