"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Chicago Cops Don’t Protect. They Won’t Even Protect Themselves
This is a watershed event for the CPD. Last week a 17-year veteran Chicago PD officer let herself and her partner be beaten into a coma by a drug addled thug rather than draw down on him because she didn’t want to “cause any problems” for her department and her family. That’s not “noble” Chief Johnson, that’s pathetic.

Some have compared this event as being similar to the Kitty Genovese murder in 1964, and the My Lai Massacre in 1968 as indications of the cowardly, depraved, and indifferent nature that American culture was devolving into. If this trend of cops and security (i.e.., those specifically hired to protect public safety) being too scared of the ramifications (to them) of using force to preserve life and public order that they won't act, even to protect themselves, (which defies biological instinct by the way), then we are well and truly fucked, because if they don't serve their protective function, a leg of the stool that is civilization has collapsed, and all bets are off.
