Excellent points made by Matt. Heather MacDonald says the same thing in her book "War on Cops." As an example, the "broken windows policing" programs in New York City and other cities were able to dramatically reverse the high crime rates of the 1970s. The result was that crime rates fell drastically in big cities around the country. Under these programs there was also a dramatic reduction in crime in black neighborhoods with high rates of black on black crime. The reason we have skyrocketing crime rates today is because we have taken away funding and support for effective police programs. In their place we have substituted "reimagined" law enforcement policies that simply don't work. It's time that we defund these failed ideas and return to programs that have extensive documentation that they are effective.
Just fyi, speaking of functional martial arts, my ex-husband, Neddy, as in my memoir In the Curated Woods, True Tales from a Grass Widow (iuniverse, 2022) who THINKS he's a woman but has a "little less' chutzpay than Dylan Mulvaney, does martial arts. Against women. Considering how much rage he's expressed against me, I cannot imagine sparring against this man in lipstick. Also, I'm authoring another book, Trans Widows Chronicles: Leaving & Healing Ute Heggen
While BLM protests (riots in many parts of LA) were going on, I read a quote from a retired basketball player. He lamented the fact that in the 70s, cops would lay down their gun belts and play hoops with kids. Thomas Sowell said as a boy he could sleep on the fire escapes during hot nights in Harlem. A friend of mine (male, younger, and of different ethnicity), and I have concluded that they are forcing conflict so cops quit and AI comes in as the solution. I think it is already happening somewhere in the SanFran area. Like Covid lockdown madness, people will beg for whatever solution is given. Living in LA, every store has security. I think it is horrible as it signals we aren't to trust one another. But wasn't that the whole point of Covid? We are not to trust our fellow humans? But we can trust AI - its objective just like 'the science.'
“So there's a gun battle going on. My friend looked at the other officers he was with and he's like, ‘Hey, if you guys want to run and jump on that, you know, I can wait here for the guy and you guys can go take care of that.’ They looked at him and said, ‘Why? If we go there and we catch him and we shoot him, and we wind up in a conflict, we're going to wind up on CNN and we're going to wind up prosecuted. And if we go there and we don't catch him in the act, but we arrest him, the district attorney is going to let them go. They'll be out on the street no matter what, before we even finished doing our paperwork.’
There's the reality of police officers, day after day, going into the worst, most violent areas any city has, putting their life on the line, literally, to arrest people who are hurting innocent people, and then watching those people walk completely free because the district attorney refuses to press charges—not because there's not evidence, but because they're pursuing some form of social justice.”
Well, no. Not at all.
Far from “day after day, going into the worst, most violent areas any city has, putting their life on the line” the police in the anecdote above do a total Uvalde and chose to not do their job.
You literally follow a paragraph detailing the police ignoring gun violence with a sentence sbout how they always do the opposite!
This is a story about self-pitying cops not doing their job. A child could be lying bleeding for all they know.
The cornball dialogue could be from a cheesy late 1970s movie where the judge lets the serial killer off on “a technicality.”
Good read. My husband and I have been thinking this was the case for quite a while. Here in Canada we have gladue principles for Aboriginal people. Doesn't seem to matter how violent the crimes are, they're always given bail. Last one resulted in a dead police officer.
Have you ever considered the possibility that the Anon ymous Globalists and their dispensable hydra arms are actually natural and nature's way of correcting an major imbalance?
Or are psychopaths and human nature not natural?.
We have always on mass picked the lowest hanging fruit and cycled down and around but never have we seen this mass life poisoning of ALL LIVING THINGS.
You have thrown the lifebuoy to the drowning, but isn't it time to get out of reach? It would be a shame to lose all of good mentors. What's left of this world will need people like you.

I appreciate the article and these comments. Keep up the good work.

Hi Peter.
Long time fan, first time commenter.
Loved your fake woke journal articles!
Have you ever considered the possibility that the Anon ymous Globalists and their dispensable hydra arms are actually natural and nature's way of correcting an major imbalance?
Or are psychopaths and human nature not natural?.
We have always on mass picked the lowest hanging fruit and cycled down and around but never have we seen this mass life poisoning of ALL LIVING THINGS.
You have thrown the lifebuoy to the drowning, but isn't it time to get out of reach? It would be a shame to lose all of good mentors. What's left of this world will need people like you.
What'll it be skipper?
