A lot of it is "defund the police" retaliation

Yeap, this is a big part of it.
I have lots of friends who are in law enforcement, and many of them have outwardly told me, many PO's just do not want to police anymore. Even if they see a crime happening in front of them, they will wait till it's over, and then they address the scene.
Put yourselves in their shoes--People are talking about defunding the police. OK, cool. Let's not do our jobs and see how long they ask to defund the police. In an emergency? OK, cool. Don't call 911.

I agree.
I used to take long walks with my earbuds on after my dinner. Now I make sure not to walk after dark. Worried about crappy drivers and now it’s who’s walking beside me

Must be nice to flat-out refuse to do the job you signed up for.
Imagine I decided to not hang a vasopressor drip on an ICU patient or refused to transfuse blood on a patient that needed it urgently because I was afraid of the consequences of a bad reaction.
This post stinks of ”I don’t actually understand what ‘defund the police’ means”

Every single one of them who thinks this way should be fired. Policing in America needs to be redefined.

That sucks because a majority of the people hollering “defund the police” didn’t even know what the hell they were talking about.

I was quoting what they;ve told me. I even prefaced it by saying that
Don't be a lame, bruh

And here you are parroting the nonsense. I wasn’t directing my post at you personally, but rather the ideas in the post.I was quoting what they;ve told me. I even prefaced it by saying that

Also LEOs not understanding “defund the police” isn’t exactly surprising.
Your friends are whiny, blubbering babies who need to find another line of work if they’re gonna refuse to do their jobs.

It's been a collective effort with the NYPD. Of course this isn't documented anywhere around the dept. but it's a sentiment most NYPD officers share amongst themselves. I've heard many of them tell me, "I'm left with 3 choices when doing my job--Either I go to jail, I go to the hospital or I go home at the end of my shift. I'd rather go home".
Awful situation all around.

It's one of the many instances in which extreme liberalism has unintended affects. Especially towards people of color.

I'm sorry you're blaming police ineptitude on liberalism? Which police department in the country would you identify as a liberal unit?

False dilemma aside, this basically confirms the notion that cops don’t actually do much to stop crime, prevent it, or protect the public. So what DO they do, exactly?

Then get another ****ing job then. NYPD getting paid 100k+ to literally sit in a car all day. God forbid they have to report to a crime once in a while and do their actual ****ing job.

Extreme liberalism. Key word Extreme.
And that's not what I'm doing at all. Corruption, and down right laziness are the main reasons, however you can't tell me that the "defund the police" movement hasn't had an effect. I'm more than certain they turn the blind eye to things even more now.

Difference is we're not well paid and in positions of authority actually responsible for doing the thing.

So what should the people do then? Not hold the police system in this country accountable?
If the reaction of these supposed authority figures (who are paid to serve and protect) is to become even more inept on purpose then that tells you how deep the problem is. They don't give a **** and know they can get away with it. The people should be able to call them out on it.

Imo police funding(idk how that even got into the discussion)has never been the problem, it’s Qualified Immunity. Get rid of that and we’re good.

So they're refusing to do the job before they're even "defunded" 
That's very snowflaky. These were the same people crying about protesting/rioting/looting but here they are standing by, hands in pockets during the commission of other street crimes they're paid to address. Interesting.

Outside of traffic violations and low level crime they never did. Defund the police is just an excuse to do less.

Funny how cops start working fast when Louis Vuitton gets looted or a Beverly Hills resident gets their Rolex jacked.
LAPD had a big news conference to announce they arrested some shoplifters.
Let some working class folk get burglarized tho... ZzZzZzz
