[From article]
“Ten years ago, when we stopped a suspect in a black neighborhood, that person had two choices: Run or comply,” said a Chicago cop. “But now more and more suspects are refusing to comply with lawful orders to take their hands out of their pockets, or produce a driver’s license, or answer simple questions about what they are doing in that neighborhood with a bulging backpack at 1:30 a.m. And they know we can’t or won’t do anything about it. Defiance is now the rule.”
Cops are targets today like never before. The black hostility towards police is open, mainstream, and unapologetic.
And increasing. Jailhouse legal scholars fill the internet, explaining why it is alright to disobey lawful commands. And how, if that does not work, “shoot, ‘em. Kill ‘em.”
[. . .]
But cops know better.
They do not fool themselves about the consequences of surrendering large swaths of dangerous places to black criminality.
It sounds bad out there, your intrepid correspondent asked a cop. “Not really. Not yet. Bad is coming.”
