The "Law of Unintented Consequences."

So what could possibly go wrong...

Our cities and municipalities hire cops to protect and preserve the peace.

And then some among us do their very best to "defund the police," believing some other system would better serve society.  Or no other system.

This fractures the already tentative relationship between society and those they hire to ride herd upon it.  

In the most recent example, Big Blue cities defunded their police forces in the aftermath of St. George of Fentanyl's timely death.  Most of the tentured cops retired, and the seasoned ones moved to outlying cities where they paid more and actually liked their police.

It could be those who remained with their departments are just not employable elsewhere.  Or those who due to attrition are now in positions of authority, whereas before would not be.  And perhaps shouldn't be.  And those who are now less well-managed than before, as their managers all left.  And they can now do the things the cop-haters have been accusing them of doing all along, without retribution.  Worst fears realized.  And those who are so green and new they don't know how it's supposed to be, and thus will now do it wrong.  For their entire careers.

Remember, trainee cops get a grand total of 188 hours of training over a 24-6 week period.  And then remain in training for at least another year before they can be released to perform regular duties.  That means all the cops these cities chased away cannot be replaced with the same city council vote it took to run them away.  The solution is two years away.  You dummies.  

But worst of all, cops who were always a little jumpy are now in fear for their lives.  They think every day out there is Fort Apache, and they have to be proactive in abusing citizens' rights lest they fall victim.  Which is going to result in more lawsuits and more unlawful deaths.

Have you ever heard of the "Law of Unintented Consequences?"  It basically states you do something with the very best of intentions...and instead of peaches and cream all Hell breaks loose.  In this case...all Hell broke loose.  Crime rates are up across the board and the citizens are in fear for their lives!

All in all, a wonderful system, made shit*y in some places by Democrat Leftist "Progressive" politicians.  Thank one the next time you run over him...
