They're being forced to stand down and submit by their antifa-accomplice mayors. They're doing it intentionally to demoralize and humiliate LEOs and the law-abiding American public.

These officers need to man up and break rank and do what's right. Fuck their commie mayors, governors, and chiefs.

Dude you have to understand this shit is only going down In liberal cities. It's clown world in those cities. Please don't think the rest of the country is weak because the looters aren't doing this shit anywhere besides the liberal shitholes.

Let me give you some more. I live in a somewhat conservative city (we have a conservative mayor) in California and we have had 0 looting in a city of over 600k. Wanna know why? Because at 1 PM yesterday I saw groups of cops and cop cars all along one of our busiest highways, ready to stop any sort of protests moving onto the highways.

The cops here refuse to let shit even being to get out of hand. We had large groups of people protesting today from what I saw. But they did it peacefully!

I have absolutely no problem with people protesting, since I literally just spent the last 2 months out protesting the lockdowns, as long as they do it peacefully!

the NYC mayor's daughter being one of the rioters kind of tells you everything you need to know

far as I can tell, not one red voting district has seen any violence

Protests in OKC(literally all of oklahoma was red in 2016) got the city a curfew, they were throwing fireworks at the cops tonight (that counts as violence right), and morons were getting themselves shot with rubber bullets last night

They maybe constrained by bad political leadership. Bye bye dems.

They are bound by law to obey the local Governments. The local governments set their hiring practices, budgets, even strategy and can disband the department at will.

Originally it was meant to make sure local police would be accountable to and controlled by the government elected by the people they were supposed to police.

It didn’t account for the local government hindering or preventing them from doing their job.

Only in an emergency situation where either the Fed or State Government takes control would they answer to someone other than the local government.

Not to mention. Police have been severely outmanned for most of this. Most city police forces aren’t anywhere near full strength and can barely keep a lid on the crime in their cities when they aren’t rioting.

Combine this with the fact everyone needs their help. Rioters attacking Firefighters, EMS. Meaning they won’t leave their stations without armed escort.

But you need Officers manning defenses at 18 different places but you only have enough Officers for 10.

You’ve got a police station under siege there requesting back up. But there’s looting over in that part of the city. But you still need Officers at those 18 different spots even though you had no hope hell of filling those 18 spots.

They are stretched thin. Combined with restrictive ROE from the city and state governments, contradictory directions from leadership and needing to be in a couple hundred places at once.

It makes for a poor showing.

They're dammed if they do, they're dammed if they don't.

Remember police chiefs are fired and appointed by mayors so most big cities have a left leaning police chief appointed by a left leaning mayors the police chief then appoints/promotes left leaning positions in the department

They're dammed if they do, they're dammed if they don't.

Given this choice they should bravely DO.

Police are handcuffed by the mayors and governors who hope the riots burn themselves out. Am I annoyed the rioters are allowed to continue? Yeah but I don't blame the cops.

If they’re standing there and allowing things to happen, then they’re just being good little boys and girls for who ever is pulling they’re strings. I know the police where I live will just stare at you when you wave at them, they have lost the ability too interact. I would like to see them back when I was younger, I used to look up too them.
