In the United states, over the last several years a deteriorating climate has existed for law enforcement officials around the country. Indeed, since the 2020 covid-19 pandemic, the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis Minnesota by a law enforcement officer named Derek Chauvin, and the widespread civil unrest that followed in urban areas across the country a general climate of tension and polarization has existed between cops and the general public. Sadly, many politicians and public officials along with political activists on the left wing of the political spectrum have attempted to utilize the contentious climate to promote toxic political agendas that ultimately do more harm than good. In States like New York, California and in places like metropolitan regions of Seattle, Portland, Philadelphia and others, new legislation has been implemented over the last several years that has changed many existing laws regarding criminal behavior and the judicial process related to dealing with them.
Cashless bail has been implemented in many areas, and repeat offenders are often let back on the street on the same day they commit crimes. In many cases, these offenders go on to commit even more serious and more heinous acts even though they were apprehended for minor lower level crimes many times prior. Ultimately, the general public is at a heightened risk, and the system in many of these places has been designed not to protect law abiding citizens but to actually enable criminals to commit more unruly activities.
One law enforcement officer, a female from California named Meagan McCarthy left the law enforcement profession several years ago after she was assaulted by a man who actually took possession of her firearm and started to assault a woman which she was attempting to defend. That same man was acquitted of all wrongdoing in later judicial proceedings. McCarthy claims that politicians do not have the best interests of law enforcement officials in the great Golden state.
