The UK’s imitation of BLM finally got a scalp of its own after a police officer was charged for taking out Chris Kaba, a vicious murderous thug who was ramming police. Kaba got the George Floyd treatment, minus the golden coffin, but London police are reacting in a unique fashion.
Up to 300 specialist firearms officers handed in their permits allowing them to carry guns on duty over the weekend, according to the BBC.
“Many are worried about how the decision impacts on them, on their colleagues and on their families,” said a spokesman for the London Metropolitan Police (the Met).
Police in Britain do not routinely carry firearms. The 2,500 Met officers who are authorised to carry guns are normally deployed for specialist missions such as counter-terrorism operations and to protect sites such as parliament, diplomatic missions and airports.
American police officers reacted to the wave of legal lynchings by leaving urban policing and heading for the suburbs. London cops responded by giving up their guns and leaving the force so hollow that there was talk of the military stepping in.
The Army has been stood down from supporting the Metropolitan Police after hundreds of officers stepped back from firearms duties.
Soldiers were put on standby after some armed officers spent the weekend considering their position.
Officers from other forces were drafted in to help, but the Met said on Monday that enough had returned to duty.
The proliferation of a violent criminal class in the George Floyd/Chris Kaba form, unfortunately, requires a permanent police class especially when the Floyds are not quickly locked up and kept in prison. (If they were, we could have a fraction of the police and police powers that we currently do.) But what happens when the police no longer want to do the job? It’s something American cities and now London are finding out.
It used to be that they were proud that their police officers didn’t carry guns, and looked down on USA for having police officers carrying guns. I kept trying to warn them, they didn’t need to carry guns because they didn’t have our problems with certain minority groups, and that they were headed into the same situation we are in.
That, and for most of the 20th century, their culture kept violent crime down, especially violence against the police. That UK is gone, and only getting worse.
Exactly, thanks Cowboy!
It doesn’t pay to be a police officer any longer and as long as we continue to allow their harassment, we’ll continue to see fewer and fewer on the streets…and that’s ultimately the Marxist’s goal.
We had a local case recently where a school resource officer, at a predominantly black school HS, was informed that a male student brought a handgun to school that day. Local police were called to the school, found the suspect in the bathroom, and the two officers (one black) attempted to disarm the student. Later released body cam footage clearing showed the young man attempting to shoot the white officer when the black officer grabbed his hands and wrestled him to the floor. The gun eventually went off, killing the student. Even after the body cam footage was released to the local press exonerating the officers, the cries of “systemic racism” from the black community echoed throughout the news cycle for months until the city settled out of court with the family for a crime they didn’t commit.
This is the blueprint for how to destroy a society.
And don’t they know and intend it? That’s the object of the exercise.
All 300 officers who handed in their weapons should be fired on the spot. If they are unwilling to carry out the duties they have been assigned, then there is no need to have them on the force. They are nothing but useless, virtue signaling squishes who can’t be counted on to do their job. Fire them and find someone who will do the job.
The criminals and terrorists have infiltrated the government positions.
The ONLY thing they care about is other criminals and terrorists.
No concern for the safety and security of the law abiding citizens.
The police who are the only people standing between the criminals/terrorists and their victims, true real life heroes. Only kind of people who demonize them are the criminals and terrorists.
