Detroit: War on police? Many officers fear growing tensions

Via Drudge:  Has it become fashionable to lash out at police? Law enforcement advocates fear it’s a growing trend in some circles.

Whether they’re being shot at, cussed at, zapped with a stun gun or denied service at a restaurant, many police officers in Metro Detroit and across the country feel they’re being disrespected more than ever.

“Everybody thinks it’s cool to not talk to the police, and to hate the police,” Detroit Police officer Ki’Juan Anderson said. “The bad guys love this. A criminal will commit a crime, and nobody wants to tell us what happened. We’re trying to help them ... and they say ‘get off my porch; I hate the police.’ ”

Anderson, who is assigned to the department’s Gang Intelligence unit, was in the Special Operations crew of Kenneth Steil in September, when Steil was killed in a shootout with a carjacking suspect.

We saw this 50 years ago during the hippie dippy days.

People get sick of all the Lefty violence and, once you start to see the “IF YOU THINK COPS ARE PIGS, NEXT TIME YOU’RE IN TROUBLE, TRY CALLING A HIPPIE” bumper stickers, you know the hammer is coming down.

Wait until the cops start backing off in helping you if you need it. They won't show up during an emergency because of 'safety' concerns, etc. etc. so on and so forth. Let's see how long that lasts. Then let's start seeing the ad campaigns by various municipalities to get police and 'communities' back in touch with each other because 'it's the right thing to do."

Leftists made this bed. Lie in it fuckers.

They've already backed off in Chicago. ACLU is trying to disassociate itself from it's actions in handcuffing the cops. The "Community" wants to enjoy killing each other without repercussions. heyjackass.com/ has all the stats.
Year to Date Shot & Wounded: 2044 , Shot & Killed: 426. Chicago definitely needs gun control. They need to get that kill rate up. There's only a 13% clearance rate on homicides.

It's great being caucasian and seeing the world through caucasian eyes.

I must say it does bring a good deal of satisfaction.

We white people learn early in our white people schools that cops are our friends no matter what race they are.

Let me tell you how stupid this gets.

One day I made a series of incredibly stupid mistakes vehicle and public road related mistakes.

I drove off for a visit to a distant home. In my excitement to have a few gift things in order, sourdough bread that I made and a white ceramic duck casserole dish that nobody could ever possibly use, I forgot my wallet and my gas tank was low. Now that right there is just plain stupid. But worse than that I got lost on the way home.

Later to explain this I drew a map on my computer of how I went wrong . I made the roads curled and overlapping in series of clover overlapping circles, bridges railroad tracks and littered the whole thing with irrelevant landmarks that cannot possibly be of any use in a map, like "brown dog," and "green bush" and "fat lady in summer dress", along with actual landmarks like "corn field" and "silos" spaghetti roads intertwining all over, and a very tall rather than wide. Funny, because the road is actually a straight line the whole way. But I got lost nonetheless. That's how stupid I am. Much later the husband told me that he and his wife actuallly printed it out. Who does that? Turned out to be 3 pages tall. And they laughed like lunatics and saved the map because it's so ridiculous.

I went the wrong way down a ramp. How does that even happen? What am I high form Colorado secondary smoke, or what?

To get out of that situation I ended up on another road that I didn't want anything to do with.

I was nearing the city, on a side road, a country lane road near the road that I needed to be on and I couldn't figure out how to get on any highway that would get me to downtown Denver. So on this country road I saw a cop just sitting there in his cruiser parked on the side blowing off time or having lunch or something idle.

I parked in front of the cop cruiser and got out of my car, I hadn't inherited the truck yet, and walked back to the cop who is wondering what in the heck am I up to. I don't have my license. I don't have my registration. I don't have my proof of insurance. That is so masterfully stupidly ballsy that non caucasian people cannot even believe it. The cop rolled down his window. He was about, I'd say, half my age. A youngster cop. I said in resigned voice, "I'm lost."

"I'm trying to get back to Denver."

Had he asked me for my identity, standard procedure, I think, then I'd have been uckedfay. And I'd have done it to myself.

But childishly, naïvely I saw the cop as a source of help. I was relieved to see him. And it worked. He was eager to help. And he did. I thanked him for setting me straight. I got home safely despite my own massive stupidity. From my white guy's point of view, that's what they're for. To help us stupid people when we keep making mistakes.

I wasn't so stupid to mention to the cop the wallet thing or the gas thing, but this eagerness to help outweighed his standard operating procedure to ask for id at all points of contact involving vehicle use and public roads.

That's how it goes when you're white.

Detroit is Afghanistan.

We need to withdraw and let the natives fight it out.

Get rid of all of the police, and the crime problem will be completely eliminated in about one year.
