I've noticed that the wealthy area near me ( in NYC ) has recently beefed up their private security patrols - as NYPD has become demoralized since mayor DiBlasio has been running with the 'Defund the Cops" crowd.
The cops are like - fuck it - you assholes elected him - we'll just collect the paychecks - you can do your own policing. I don't blame them.
Meanwhile, I went to the local park. Thousands of illegal aliens breaking just about every law you can think of.
I bet those private security guys are ex NYPD. If you want to work in that field why wouldn't you move to a position where the people paying you actually respect you.
I think there needs to be laws that protect police from the verbal and physical abuse we've been seeing directed at them over the last five years. If a Judge can summarily hand out a 30 day jail sentence in a court room because someone calls the judge an asshole, then cops need to be able to something similar.
I am increasingly appalled by the brashness and callousness by which "protestors" can walk up to a police officer and call him all sorts of names to his face and he just has to stand there and take it. No one else would be expected to put up with this abuse on their job and cops shouldn't be either. Insulting and abusing law enforcement like that is by extension an assault and abuse on our rule of law and the order of our communities. It should never be commonplace that punks can take out their anger on society by using law enforcement officers as whipping boys.
I don't think there should be any laws governing what people say in public other than the extreme cases (ie: shouting "fire" in a theater") and for things like slander where lies cause actual damage to my livelyhood. There was a time when all children were taught early in life the simple "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" lesson. I don't give a damn if you say something that upsets me, that's your right. It's not illegal to upset someone.
But I do believe there should be laws preventing public officials from taking stances that are unsupported by law. They take an oath to uphold the law of the land and protecting the people they serve, they should be sanctioned for violating it. These council members are jepardizing the safety of their community with this reckless virtue signaling.
As I understand it from real estate agents, well insulated areas around NY are also seeing a huge uptick in refugees from the city. "Sure, we'll be happy to go out and protest police brutality and environmental injustice, but I certainly don't want to be anywhere near those implementations. What am I, crazy?"

There are very few things as demoralizing as doing a job where people don’t actually want you to do it.
Makes sense to me.

Yeah, it is called disorderly conduct or failure to obey a lawful order. The cops are just commanded not to do it.
Edit: or, you know, they could arrest people for arson, theft, and vandalism.
