That's a political order from higher up. We've known they've been told to stand down for at least the last year. What's he going to do, defy the Antifag mayor and ruin his own career over a gang of scumbags who vastly outnumbered him (and would eagerly kill him) and would only be cut loose again anyway? If he hadn't intervened that guy would have had to shoot some of them. Not to say that's a bad thing, but then he would have been truly fucked. The officer kept the peace as best he could while handcuffed, defusing the scene and getting the victim out of the clutches of those animals, and while I also wish he had done a lot more I know the grunts on the street aren't the ones making these calls. Hang the fucking ringleaders and the blue line will be able to do their jobs.
"Just following orders." It's a wonderful excuse, with a wonderful history of protecting those who "just followed orders" as opposed to doing what is right. Yes, he absolutely should defy the Antifag mayor.
Got it. "Comply with them to avoid any punishment the left will throw at you. Kneel for Antifa because they'll throw rocks through your windows if you refuse. Give your kids puberty blockers because they'll try to take your kids from you if you don't. Surrender to the left completely because I'm too much of a coward to follow the Constitution."

What would that accomplish except for getting his own head cut off?
