They’ve been boning APD for years. I’m still not sure how anyone is a police officer anymore. Better people than me? Or maybe just need the money and pension they’ve worked for more than me.

If (when) Chauvin gets railroaded, I expect to see massive waves of officers "Going Galt".

Can't say I blame 'em.

Blue urban centers won't need to defund their police departments. If the chuckleheads who lament the "racism" that exists currently, wait until they see what is liable to come next.

At this job market, I don't blame them.

Any good cop in a deep blue city that doesn’t feel like they belong there, doesn’t. They can find work in the burbs or rural areas and live a much more peaceful life. Notice I said “good”, not all.

This should be a strong message to other Dem/Lib controlled Cities and States that put up with these snowflake riot bums and condemn the peace-keepers.

I think the people in New Mexico will remember this next election. Bold move and I wish the best for these guys!

The deck is stacked against them. They're sent into harms way, and even if they're fighting for their own survival, they have the possibility that they'll be sent to prison for it. Let the cities that want to defund the police experience the chaos that they've created.

APD said the resignations won’t impact crowd control operations in the future. They also reiterated that the officers who resigned from the ERT did not resign from being an officer at the department.

So they just resigned from riot patrol?

Agree with the sentiments about the folks still doing the job and how they're treated. However regarding the APD situation in particular since when does the PD decide to charge someone? I thought it was up to the district attorney/city attorney to file charges, or is just (another) poorly written report?

My stepkid just left the Denver Sheriff's Dept after 17 years in part because of the lack of support from the command structure.

Did he try peacefully protesting?

Seeing this across the nation, several LEO friends and family are trying to decide if it's time to move on yet, many looking to leave due to idiot liberal "leaders" and ass kissing political brass... Sad state of affairs...

I was walking by the machine that sells those propaganda flyers, and the main headline was was murders in ABQ are doubled from last year at the same time. ABQ was shit before, now it’s getting worse. But hey we got green Chile I guess. Woooooooo congrats NM your fucking economy is a condiment...

Same kinda stuff caused me to leave law enforcement almost 20 years ago. It's not new. It's just worse.

Everyone said I was crazy for quitting. Now I feel like I was just ahead of the times...a trailblazer!

[Coffee]

And I don't regret it at all. My life was much happier after leaving law enforcement.

Every good cop I know is working on an exit strategy or at least a backup plan.

We still have the brand new cops that think they want to chase bad guys and don't understand why that's not really allowed anymore. And we still have the older lazy guys that come into the profession much like the military to get good healthcare and a good paycheck knowing there are places to hide out most of the time.

He was a handler for one of their bomb dogs. Internal politics led to a former supervisor, who had been demoted due to ethics violations, being promoted once again to a supervisory position. That supervisor then chose to act against my stepson, reassigning his dog (a loved member of his household), and sending my stepson back to jail duty. P. is now a golf pro for the City of Aurora, a job with about 75% of the income, and about 1% of the stress and bullshit.
