Any cop that would quit for moral reasons is the type of cop who probably shouldn’t. This message only makes things worse.
One of the best officers I knew quit after being called to a protest over the killing of a black man. He had to stand in front of people who he may have agreed with and take physical and verbal abuse. The last thing he told me was “In insurance they don’t throw bottles at your head for doing your job.”
I still know a lot of good people in law enforcement, but things like that sure do make it difficult to encourage good people to stick around.
This is exactly the source of the problem.
If all leftist cops quit, the police will obviously have a right bias. You should encourage people who agree with your ideology to join institutions that have power.Same with the military. Why is there a disproportionate number of nut jobs in the military? Well, part of the reason is certainly because leftist social circles straight up bully anyone in their own ranks who would consider joining.edit: this applies e.g. In Germany much more than in the US. I crossed it out to avoid getting criticized by the us defaultism crowd.The problem is structural. Encouraging more left-leaning people to join these institutions will just make them very unhappy and likely to quit later. Furthermore, you can’t really abolish a broken institution from within.
