Progressive Overreach Is Creating Lawlessness. A Cleveland Cop Is Its Latest Victim

[DigitalDrifter]

"Progressive" is just another word for "stupid".

Shane Bartek, a 25-year-old Cleveland police officer, is the latest victim of a crime wave that has taken many lives across the country. He was off duty when he was murdered on New Year's Eve in a carjacking in Kamm's Corners, a neighborhood that many current and retired police officers call home.

Who would be so brazen, so stupid as to commit a carjacking and a murder in a neighborhood that is known for having so many police officers in it? 18-year-old Tamara McLoyd is who—a woman who already had a warrant out for her arrest for an armed robbery that took place on November 2. McLoyd allegedly shot Bartek at his apartment complex during the carjacking, and Bartek died later that night in the hospital. Meanwhile, another man with a long rap sheet—28-year-old Anthony Butler Jr., who has been convicted seven times in the last four years of theft-related offenses involving cars—was later arrested driving Bartek's car after leading police on a high-speed chase.

When it comes to McLoyd, it seems to have been about resources. There was a warrant out for her arrest, but not the resources to find her and execute the warrant. So why weren't such resources available?

Cleveland police's budget is 218 million. The argument is that the police should be actually doing the work of tracking people who are wanted down as opposed to pulling people over for either imaginary or minor issues in the hope of getting lucky and finding them.

Here's your answer:

"the answer is a climate and reality created by progressives and progressive policy around policing—one that ends up sacrificing the most vulnerable on the altar of unreachable ideals."

Actually having the police do police work is not an unreachable idea.

The Progressive Culture is very primitive and violent.
This is what drives mainstream people who live peaceful and productive lives out of the Backward Blue states and cities.
Eventually some of the states where the Corrupt Democratic Party has permanent political control will become uninhabitable.

Well maybe if you fucking idiots on the left would stop demonizing police all across this country, they would be less afraid to do their job.

All they have to do is obey the laws they hold others to. It's not that difficult.

They do, but when you guys hold them all responsible for the actions of a single cop that has made a mistake or made a bad decision, then cops all across the country are going to hesitate to perform their jobs all the way.

Then they should be fired.

This is the Neo-Marxist Dimm goal in order to Federalize and replace all local police in their pursuit of perpetual power!
