Teachers have done it recently.

Nurses have done it recently.

What does it look like if 80-90% of MPD just doesn't show up for their next few shifts?

Martial Law declared & the feds will be forced to go in to restore order.

I would if I was a cop. Don't know why anyone wants to do that job right now.

They don't get paid enough

That would be fun to watch. As long as it's up North. Seeing Chicago without officers would be worth PPV pricing for sure.

Why? They've been neutered by worthless politicians, so they cant be blamed for the riots, they've done nothing but stand around and get paid.

Do them like Reagan did the air traffic controllers - do your job or lose it. Then as someone above said, declare martial law if not enough policeman remain on the job.

As long as they don't call up the National Guard.

Much like the military under Obama, the problem isn’t the organization as much as the restrictions put on them for rules of engagement.

Almost nobody has their back.

90% of the press hate them.

Most politicians hate them especially in blue states. And those politicians that do support them are afraid to speak out.

Civil society hires Police to keep the heathen lawbreakers at bay; if the Police abandon this ugly task - for whatever reason - then the heathen will prey on civil society...and civil society will not just lay down to be raped, murdered and plundered. They will form groups, and fight together...hunting down the heathen with no mercy. Cops will join in. This is not the kind of complex rocket science that put our guys in orbit today; it's human psychology and Mother Nature 101.

Authoritarian rule or Anarchy. We can pick our poison.

The same as the past few nights of protests when law enforcement stood down as the rioters destroyed everything

It would look like martial law. Because that would be the only option left to keep the peace.

In the back of my mind these last few months I've been thinking about how we could feasibly get from where we are now to a point where we could actually see a roundup of criminal politicians in this country. Well, I think you would need martial law in order for it to work. I've been thinking that maybe the covid19 thing would bleed the states dry to the point where they just couldn't pay their police officers anymore and that's why Mitch McConnell was advocating for letting the individual states go bankrupt during this crisis. But it doesn't appear that's gonna happen.

So maybe we do need to see a LEO strike.

If I wanted to abuse my authority with without fear of repercussions, yeah I might not show up.

Or if I just wanted to arrest law abiding citizens for going to a park or doing their jobs and not face scary situations.
