The whole protest-the-cops thing is baffling to me.

Prosecute bad cops, sure. Throw the book at them. Their time in prison is sure to be horrible.

But run-of-the-mill, protecting-your-neighborhood cops? They are the good guys and gals. Without question. CHOP and Atlanta have shown us how self-policing pans out.

The entire point of the protest is to express the frustration with lack of prosecution of “bad police”. Countless times, bad police get a slap on the wrist and put back on the force. It’s a system which closes rank whenever any misdeed or crime is committed within the force.

So cancel police forces?

It's proven to not work. CHOP had murders just a few days later.

Everybody agrees bad cops should be prosecuted. A wild over-reaction that opposes the huge majority of good cops is a wrong move.
