It is becoming like this every where. I have property in two counties and one city. Loudoun County is probably the worst with Sheriff and Fire Departments doing nothing.

In 1987, I put out a fire that started from spontaneous combustion when the adjoining property owner's contractor was burning stumps and failed to clear the surrounding area. The heat was so intense that you could run up and stomp out the flames and retreat and repeat the procedure. If the fire reached the woods, it would have got out of control and cost $500K to $1M in property damage. The fire department never went out there and it was still smothering the next day. The boots I was wearing had the soles completely melted off.

Fairfax County is not much better with numerous felonies committed and the other place I may have to get a lawyer to resolve the problems.

St. Paul police chief disputes DFL Rep. John Thompson's racial profiling claim

Well…well…well. Look who’s in the news again.

MN Gov Walz, top Democrats call for Rep. John Thompson's resignation. http://strib.mn/3zea2Tj

Top state Democratic lawmakers, including DFL Gov. Tim Walz, are calling on state Rep. John Thompson to resign following reports of domestic violence allegations in his past.

The four domestic assault cases, spanning a period between 2003 and 2009, included allegations that Thompson punched and choked women, sometimes in the presence of children. Fox 9 first reported the allegations Friday night.

"The alleged acts of violence against multiple women outlined in these reports are serious and deeply disturbing," Walz said in a statement. "Minnesotans deserve representatives of the highest moral character, who uphold our shared values. Rep. Thompson can no longer effectively be that leader and he should immediately resign."

Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren (D) has been mentioned earlier in this thread.

https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2...endangerment-n402884

for Rochester, New York Mayor Lovely Warren, it’s just not turning out to be her year. First, she was found to have mishandled the case of Daniel Prude’s death in police custody so badly that her entire senior police command staff quit in protest.

Then, in May, her husband, Timothy Granison, was arrested for allegedly being part of an illegal drug-dealing ring
As part of the raid of the house, police found $60K worth of crack and more than $100K in cash along with two unregistered firearms

( New York requires registration of handguns)

In June, she lost the primary election for the upcoming mayor election

and now, A Monroe County Grand Jury has indicted Lovely Warren and her husband, Timothy Granison w/Criminal Possession of a Firearm, two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child, and two counts of Failure to Lock/Secure Firearms in a Dwelling. (related to the May raid)

Warren continues to insist that this is all some sort of racist plot to destroy her political career.

DemocRAT- the party of lies and hypocrisy. Google her husbands name and you won’t find ANY any leftist media coverage of this. Disgusting.

some more detail on state rep John Thompson

builds on ronin's previous post

https://hotair.com/ed-morrisse...ue-diligence-n403065

This all started because Thompson got caught driving his car without a required front license plate, a minor issue that would normally be resolved with a fix-it ticket.

Instead, Thompson immediately began escalating the incident, combining a do-you-know-who-I-am attitude with accusations of being targeted because of his race. It was the former which led to the first in the series of embarrassing revelations

Jackass justice

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Thompson “challenges the authenticity” of the five police reports...

Sure, that'll work for ya.

Good luck, Minneapolis.

Minneapolis to vote on replacing police department this November

Minneapolis voters will vote this November on a charter amendment that will ask whether or not the city should replace the Minneapolis Police Department with a Department of Public Safety that "employs a comprehensive public health approach."

Shall the Minneapolis City Charter be amended to strike and replace the Police Department with a Department of Public Safety that employs a comprehensive public health approach, and which would include licensed peace officers (police officers) if necessary to fulfill its responsibilities for public safety, with the general nature of the amendments being briefly indicated in the explanatory note below, which is made a part of this ballot? Yes _______ No _______

Last one out of the Twin Cities, jiggle the handle.

seen as a comment elsewhere:

"In San Francisco, it’s a crime to not wear mask into a store, but it’s perfectly fine to rob the store."

I wonder what would be discovered by doing a simple background check on all local politicians Democrat and Republican alike. Apparently none are being done now.

At the very same time that democrats are trying to convince you that they are not defunding the police. In fact, they're trying to convince you that Republicans are the ones defunding the police.

It's amazing. They tell you they're not doing it while doing it right in our faces.

Then there's the de-facto defunding of police departments in these Democratic Cities.

Being a cop is fucking miserable in Chicago. I'm not going to lie to you. IT FUCKING SUCKS SWEATY HOMELESS MAN BALLS IN AUGUST. From talking to friends in different places, it's not much better in New York, Baltimore, Minneapolis... Oh, you want worse? Go to Portland, Seattle... Get rocks, bottles, fireworks et al thrown at you for over a year, with zero support from your government, and most of the people you're trying to serve.

Which leads me to this point-
Who, in their right mind, would want to be the police in places like that?

Even kids that would be 3rd or 4th generation Police are saying "Fuck No!"

Chicago PD had their entry test not that long ago. 430... 430 people took the test. That's a fucking HUGE RED FLAG and an embarrassment.
(Quick side bar- 421 have retired from 01 Jan to 01 July) If past numbers are correct, 10-12% are "qualified", so out of the 430, let's say 50 at the most. That's one academy class, and that's a small one.

Looking at those numbers, we're going to need more. "Hmmm... Let's lower the standards, so the new breed of SJW can come on."
That one just had a few marijuana arrests, no convictions, and what the hell, it's legal now.
This one has a few theft arrests; misdemeanor, so nothing huge, and no convictions either.
The one over there has a few domestic cases on him, again, no convictions...

Better put a little red * next to their names, because a few years down the road, don't act all shocked when one pisses hot on the drug test, gets caught up stealing from the dope dealers, or is beating the hell out of his girl!

The "old timers" are leaving at an unprecedented rate, more and more cops are leaving before the "max out" in their retirement funds. And leaving before they hit the age to collect the pension.

Younger cops are leaving for other departments in more conservative areas like Florida, Arizona, Texas, and even going to the .gov side. Some even leaving for the suburbs or down state, and those departments are snatching them up, because it's cheaper to grab someone who already had state certification training, or do 2-3 weeks in a different states academy to learn local laws and policies, then hit the street. And coppers are willing to take the lower pay for a lower amount of bullshit.

Others are saying "Fuck it" to law enforcement all together.

Just because I tossed up Chicago's numbers, dont think that this isn't playing out all over democratic strongholds. I'll be surprised if Minneapolis has more than 50 officers 5 years from now! More people leaving sooner, not enough qualified coming in because it just sucks.

And there we have the de facto defunding of the police.

Do it - and watch what happens.
