In our politically correct society today, it is not easy being a police officer. In the aftermath of the death of George Floyd, leftist politicians started a nationwide movement to defund police departments. This led to a massive decline in police departments as officers either resigned or retired.
Sadly, the result was very predictable as violent crime rates soared across the country. Not only are average citizens being victimized more than ever, but police officers are being targeted in greater numbers. According to Michael Letts of In-Vest USA, police officers are facing “On average…more than 60,000 assaults against law enforcement officers each year, resulting in 17,500 injuries and an average of one death every 55 hours or 158 per year.”
It is even more sobering to realize that our police officers do not have adequate protection. Letts maintains that “close to 400,000 of the 900,000 officers in the US have no protective vest which means they run 14 times higher risk of dying from gunfire than an officer who does wear one.”The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.

I was an RCMP Officer in the 70's. A company called Second Chance came out with a lightweight vest you wore under your shirt. Many of us bought them with our own money as the force did not supply vests in those days. To me it was the same price as buying a good suit , if I had a bankers job, I would buy the suit, so why not invest in a protective vest. It was alot of money at the time, but well worth it. So while I read that many officers havent been given vests, I understand that many officers are not willing to purchase one of their own. They are available.

More and more police seem to ignore the violence or felonious behavior of the radical Left and focus on curtailing the rights of patriots--on both sides of the Canadian/American border.

As long as we have bought out racists, dividing us all criminals taking over and running the country, sick SJW, bought out justice, handcuffed police, and all the red tape for everything, crime will explode and continue getting worse. Sadly it will take a lot of deaths to fix it all.

I used to whole heartedly support the police, even letting them put a hunting cabin on my property, in an area where many trophy deer have been taken.
But over the years, as they became more lax around me, they let things slip; laughing about flashing badges to dodge traffic tickets; drinking and driving, cheating on spouses, and doing pretty much anything else I consider immoral, and have ended friendships over.
I even dated a police officer once; she laughed about pointing her gun at her roommate yelling to, "Get off the damn phone."
It was, "Just a joke," she laughed, and couldn't seem to get it through her thick head, in this country at least, that's a felony which would get any of us commoners tossed in the clink, and having all our guns seized.
And now of the age where I require regular medical check ups to monitor a possibly terminal condition, despite having NO run ins with the law, maybe three or four traffic tickets over 45 years of driving, once I chose stand against masking - it being blatant hogwash - the police enforce the WISHES of the clinic, instead of the law.
I know darn well masking is NOT a "law" in this town, because attending another clinic for other procedures, they have NO PROBLEM with my not masking.
Even my own doctor is against all this covid bunk but, that means nothing to the police here.
Sadly, I don't trust them any more than I do our politicians. Neither abide by the rules they enforce, or have any more morals or integrity than any other putz I don't know.

Also, it wouldn't hurt if the school's interior and exterior doors had windows.
I must confess that I dare to write this suggestion even though I have no degrees or careers in criminology, social psychology, education, relativistic prosimian cosmology-in-depth, or anything else.

The real problem here is not street crime it's political crime perpetrated against the whole of our nations peoples by criminals posing as elected representatives.
The "police" are not protecting us from the criminals who operate without fear of prosecution, make laws that define criminality and exclude themselves from punishment.
Who is protecting us from the criminal politicians? No one. They are protected from us by the same police that are supposed to protect us from street crime. Crime under color of law is high crime.
Political crime should be treated with more stringent punishments than street crime and should be exercised against political criminals liberally to excise the monsters preying on our nations from their high offices.
Political crime against the nation and should suffer the harshest punishments imaginable. No nation on earth today or from the past has tolerated such abuses lightly. Usurping Constitutional and God given Rights is treason against the people. Let it not go unpunished.
