The system of government moonbats seek to impose is known as “anarchotyranny.” It combines tyrannical government overreach with contempt for rule of law, as liberal Illinois demonstrates by recruiting illegal aliens as police officers:

A bill aimed at clearing a path for recipients of a federal immigration program to become police officers — and at the same time helping departments that say they are struggling with recruitment — is moving forward with bipartisan support in the Illinois Legislature, but only after being amended to make clear that potential hires need to get federal approval to carry a gun.

The federal immigration program is DACA, which applies specifically to people who are in the USA in violation of American law.

Federal law generally bars noncitizens from carrying guns unless it’s for “official use,” meaning police officers who are not U.S. citizens would not be allowed to carry the weapons off-duty, according to a spokesperson for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

The Illinois legislators want the federal government to change the rules so that people who are in the country illegally can carry guns legally even when not on duty as police officers.

The measure’s Democratic sponsor in the House is state Rep. Barbara Hernandez, whose aim is to help recipients of the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, become police officers while also giving law enforcement agencies another option for recruiting.

Recruiting has been a problem because Democrat authorities aggressively side with criminals against law enforcement. This alarming phenomenon has been taken to the last extreme in Chicago, whose leftist fever swamps spawned the community organizer who went on to push DACA as the 44th president. Maybe the recruitment and morale problems will be mitigated when the cops themselves violate the law just by being here.

Multiple states including of course California allow illegal aliens who qualify for Obama’s DACA program to be police officers.

The legislation passed 101-0 in the Illinois House on March 24 and is now before the Senate, where it already has two sponsors.

Update: The bill has now passed both houses.

The next logical step is to enlist convicts as police officers rather than incarcerating them. This will have the desired effect of reducing the prison population. It could be how Dim and Billyboy got jobs as bobbies in A Clockwork Orange.

Liberal rule entails anarchotyranny and demasculization. Applied to police, this results in officers who leave criminals alone and react to normal people with the panicked fear of cornered animals. Here’s what moonbattery has reduced police to in Australia:

Sky News reports:

NSW Police Southern Region Commander Peter Cotter gave a press conference on Friday where he provided further detail about the condition of Clare Nowland, 95, who is currently surrounded by her family at Cooma Base Hospital. …

Ms Nowland was allegedly found holding a steak knife and standing at her walking frame by nursing staff at the Yallambee Lodge near Cooma, a small town south of Canberra, on Wednesday.

At last word the great grandmother is in critical condition.

Mrs. Nowland stands under 5 feet tall and weighs less than 95 pounds. But the knife could have been quite sharp. They told her to put it down, but she wouldn’t listen. Maybe her hearing aid batteries were low.

Using a taser was risky. The police should have played it safe and called in a sniper.

As we learned from Democrats during the Black Lives Matter riots, we don’t need local police, because they only serve to make people feel unsafe. After defunding the police, we can replace them with social workers or safety ambassadors, a.k.a. security ambassadors. Let’s see how effectively the latter maintain public order in the gay mecca West Hollywood:

The future of law enforcement under liberal rule unfolds in Los Angeles:

[C]ity officials announced a new public safety initiative which implements yoga, meditation and healing circles to communities as an alternative form of unarmed policing. The initiative’s launch cost the city of Los Angeles $2.2 million in city funding.

No worries, taxpayers. In the end there will be a net savings, because in liberal utopia you won’t have to pay for police or prisons.

At a briefing on Monday, Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, who chairs the City Council’s public safety committee, announced the Project TURN initiative-which stands for Therapeutic Unarmed Response for Neighborhoods.

The only response to watching the Land of Fruits and Nuts plunge off a cliff into an abyss of self-parody is to move at top speed in the opposite direction.

Project TURN hopes that therapy, yoga, meditation, and healing circle will reduce the need for officers to engage in neighborhoods in Los Angeles.

If California takes over the federal government via Gavin Newsom or Kamala “Heartbeat Away” Harris, we will learn how well these techniques work at staving off the communist Chinese.

In other news from La-La Land,

Throughout 2022, the Los Angeles Police Department reported 229,584 crimes, an 11.6% increase over the previous year.

Los Angeles could get that number down to zero. All it has to do is cut to the chase and move beyond defunding the police. Disband the department altogether, as the city council promised to do in Minneapolis at the height of Black Lives Matter violence, and it won’t report any crime at all.

Black History Month is when the authorities stop doubling down on their obsessive worship of all things African and instead triple down on it. The cultural Marxist moonbattery is so excessive that Miami police are showcasing a vehicle transformed into a gaudy advertisement for the black supremacist ideology of Black Lives Matter sociopaths who riot against them.

This is actually on the level:

The raised fists have a dual meaning. Like Black Lives Matter itself, they represent both black supremacy and Marxism.

Via Daily Mail:

Mayor Francis Suarez presented the cruiser that was designed by the city police union on Thursday alongside Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales.

The car displayed the ‘Black Power’ symbol along with African flags and the slogan ‘Miami police support Black History Month.’

Maybe next year they will force officers to trade in their uniforms for loincloths.

The pandering is so tastelessly over the top that not even BLM can stomach it:

The Black Live Matter Twitter account also commented on the matter by posting a gif of Cardi B saying, ‘I just hate it.’

Blacks comprise 13% of the US population. Yet Afrocentrism has become our national religion — or at least, our state religion.

The hypocrisy that characterizes leftists is almost superhuman. Consider Hugo Soto-Martinez of the Los Angeles City Council:

Soto-Martinez campaigned against ‘armed militias occupying our neighborhoods,’ saying that the existing policing system was ‘completely corrupt, immoral, and needs to be changed drastically.’

He has advocated defunding the LAPD and California Highway Patrol. “I believe in the eventual goal of abolishing the current system of policing,” barked the moonbat. He called for the “redistribution of police money to other public sector unions.” But then,

On Thursday night, a member of his team placed a call to the LAPD just before 10pm requesting assistance, because Soto-Martinez’s white Lexus had broken down.

‘Extra patrol throughout the night for parked white Lexus belonging to councilmember,’ the LAPD request noted.

Hate-hoaxing extended Squad member Cori Bush, who ran for Congress as a representative of Black Lives Matter in the aftermath of hundreds of antipolice riots, spends a fortune on security. Even she doesn’t have the gall to rely heavily on the local police she demonizes.

Soto-Martinez will go far in liberal politics.

On a tip from Ed McAninch.

When five black cops working for a black police chief in a majority black city beat to death a black guy, people looked for explanations for how this could have happened. The media establishment, applying the When All You’ve Got Is a Hammer principle, jumped the shark completely with the risibly preposterous assertion that white racism is to blame for the Tyre Nichols killing. The actual explanation is erosion — of both standards because of Affirmative Action and the War on Police, and the family because of sexual immorality and the welfare state.

Regarding the erosion of standards:

At least two out of of five Memphis police officers charged with murder in the fatal beatdown of Tyre Nichols joined the force after the department relaxed its hiring requirements.

Tadarrius Bean and Demetrius Haley joined the Memphis PD in August 2020, after education requirements were lowered.

Retired NYPD detective Mike Alcazar, who teaches at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, notes that this results in “less desirable” candidates.

“They’re desperate. They want police officers,” Alcazar said. “They’re going through it, they check off some boxes, saying, ‘Ok, they’re good enough, get them on.’”

Here’s how desperate:

The department showed signs of struggle with recruiting new police officers, offering $15,000 signing bonuses in 2021 and 2022, Fox 13 reported. …

The department also revealed that [it] was even offering waivers for people who have been convicted on felony charges.

Urban police departments are desperate to find recruits because the heavy emphasis on Affirmative Action shrinks the pool of candidates, and because the liberal establishment’s ferocious hostility to local police — which became conspicuous during the promotion of Black Lives Matter — has made the job unappealing. Few want to put their lives on the line with their hands tied, knowing that politically motivated brass will not have their back, and that the vermin comprising the mainstream media will side with criminals to rally the public against them.

Speaking of Affirmative Action, Memphis is one of the many cities that just happens to have a black woman for a police chief:

Cerelyn “CJ” Davis … was fired from the Atlanta police department in 2008 for her alleged involvement in a sex crimes investigation into the husband of an Atlanta police sergeant…

Two detectives accused Davis of telling them not to investigate Terrill Marion Crane, who was married to sergeant Tonya Crane after the police department obtained photos of him with underage girls.

A federal grand jury later indicted Terrill Crane on child pornography.

Thanks to identity politics, Davis will always be qualified for a top job, no matter how spectacularly she fails.

Personnel standards are not the only conspicuous manifestation of the moonbattery eroding America. Jason Whitlock enraged liberals by coming on Tucker Carlson’s show and drawing attention to what they would call “root causes.” Whitlock confesses to escaping the plantation:

I argued that the five police officers mimicked gang behavior and that the whole sad event is a byproduct of communities overrun with matriarchal values and controlled by single black mothers. I said that the conversation we should be having in reaction to Tyre Nichols centers on the cost of destroying the black family.

For this, the liberal thought police at Google’s YouTube labeled video of his appearance on Tucker Carlson as “inappropriate or offensive to some audiences” — the ultimate endorsement.

As usual, Whitlock makes good points. The intelligentsia was particularly enraged by his…

…attempt to spark a conversation about the real ramifications of America’s growing preference for female authority and alternative family structures. The matriarchy doesn’t work.

The black urban matriarchy has resulted from fatherless homes, resulting in turn from the stratospheric illegitimacy rate caused by the welfare state and the collapse of sexual morality.

General decay of our culture as it is presented to us by the lefty-dominated news and entertainment media also plays a role.

[The Nichols killing] feels like the outgrowth of a rotten culture, a culture where black men are canonized and celebrated for handling petty beefs and disrespect with lethal violence.

Whitlock’s solution is Christianity. It worked for 2,000 years. In stark contrast, liberalism is not working.

CNN’s Van Jones speaks for the establishment by barking about the Nichols killing being “driven by racism.” The implied solution is to double down on the progressive policies that caused the erosion.

No wonder CNN viewership just hit a 9-year low. The pernicious lies comprising the liberal misinformation bubble are so divorced from anything real, they only resonate with fanatics who live in an alternate universe of sheer moonbattery.

Stacey Abrams has finally stopped shrieking that she is the Governor of Georgia, but unfortunately is still active in politics, eating away like rust at American civilization. Her top advisor made the news by siding with the Antifa vermin who recently attacked police in Atlanta.

From Fox News:

A top adviser for Stacey Abrams’ voting rights nonprofit defended anti-cop activists who set a police car ablaze and smashed windows while protesting the death of an environmental activist this past weekend in Atlanta.

“Voting rights” is liberalese for election fraud. The “environmental activist” was Manuel Teran, who used “they/it” pronouns, and who was killed by return fire after shooting a state trooper involved in clearing a moonbat infestation out of the area designated for a new police training facility. Windows were smashed in the building housing the Atlanta Police Foundation, which was also attacked with fireworks and defaced with graffiti.

Marisa Pyle, a senior rapid response manager at Abrams’ Fair Fight Action, who also worked as a senior manager for Abrams’ One Georgia leadership committee during her most recent failed Georgia gubernatorial run, rushed to defend the anti-police protesters and the ensuing chaos.

“You cannot commit violence against a window or a car. Killing a human? Now that, that is violence,” Pyle wrote on Twitter this past weekend. “Shame on Atlanta’s leaders who fall into the same tired path of protecting property while our people are murdered by their police.”

Thank you, Marisa, for putting it on the official record that you maniacs side with leftist terrorists against the police.

We are past the point were any informed and reasonable person could support Democrats.

On a tip from Anonymous.

Saturday night in Atlanta, Antifa thugs escalated the War on Police, attacking the Atlanta Police Foundation, smashing windows, and setting a police car on fire. The main pretext was the demise of fellow terrorist Manuel Teran, who was killed by return fire after shooting a state trooper involved in clearing leftists lowlifes from the planned cite of a new Atlanta Police Department Training Facility known by moonbats as Cop City. The violence was not limited to Atlanta. Jared Dowell, the sexually perplexed son of the Democrat whip, took part in an incident in Boston the same night:

The Boston Police Department noted that around 9:30 p.m. on Jan. 21, officers responded to a scene of leftist disturbance at the Parkman Bandstand Monument in the Boston Common.

According to the BPD, officers found the son of House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) vandalizing the monument, writing “NO COP CITY” and “ACAB,” the latter of which stands for “all cops are bastards.” …

When officers intervened to arrest the son of the Democratic whip and restore order, a group of 20 leftist violators began “screaming profanities through megaphones” and interfering with Dowell’s arrest.

Katherine Clark would not be among them. She can do more to advance the progressive agenda from her position in Washington.

An officer was brutally struck in the face and left “bleeding from the nose and mouth” during the leftists’ violent efforts to prevent the arrest, which Dowell is accused of partaking in.

Dowell’s outlook runs in the family:

[H]is BLM-supporting mother stressed in 2020 that it should be “easier to prosecute” officers.

Clark — the Democrat who reportedly failed to properly disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock trades in 2021 —confirmed that her son, whom she refers to as a “daughter” and calls “Riley,” was arrested in Boston, noting that “this is a very difficult time in the cycle of joy and pain in parenting.”

The heart bleeds.

While apparently reluctant to denounce Antifa’s violent attacks on Boston police over the weekend, Clark has previously been quick to accuse her political rivals of fomenting unrest and to warn of violence when politically expedient.

Clark shrieks that Republicans are “extremists” who endanger “our country’s national security” and appeal to “hate speech and violence.” With a straight face, she screams, “The tolerance of violence and bigotry in our political discourse must end” and “Violence begets violence.”

When the Party of Hypocrisy denounces violence, be prepared to defend yourself.

On tips from Bluto, Barry A, and Mr. Freemarket.

The establishment-approved race riots that raged for months on end, causing $billions in damages, have simmered down until such a time as the liberal media finds it expedient to start them up again. The explosion in violent crime that predictably followed in the wake of Black Lives Matter has caused Democrats to tone down their denunciations of local police. But that doesn’t mean showing support for the police is regarded as politically acceptable — even if you are an officer yourself:

A Minnesota police officer was forced to walk back a social media post from earlier this month, after some critics were offended he posted a Thin Blue Line flag to commemorate law enforcement on National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.

In a society under the thumb of moonbats, that constituted thoughtcrime.

Golden Valley Police Chief Virgil Green issued that apology over the weekend after the original post, which is now deleted, was reportedly flooded with comments bringing the intent of the symbol into question.

When the chief of police apologizes for the Thin Blue Line flag, we can hardly expect high morale among officers who are expected to face death on behalf of a hostile public, under the command of invertebrates who do not have their back.

This goes beyond Minnesota, birthplace of the Cult of George Floyd. The Thin Blue Line flag has been banned by the LAPD, lest officers take pride in their profession. Nationwide, the liberals in charge continue to abet criminals and tie police hands.

The inevitable retention and recruitment crisis will reduce the quality of officers until we have police fit for the police state progressives are progressing toward.

On a tip from Steve T.

The thin blue line flag represents support for police officers, who put their lives on the line to defend us from lowlifes. Naturally, the lowlifes don’t like it. Lowlifes are represented by the party that controls Los Angeles. Consequently, the thin blue line flag is banned — at the police department:

The Los Angeles Police Department banned the Thin Blue Line flag from public areas within police departments this week over a complaint that the flag represented “violent, extremist views.”

Any view leftists want to suppress is “extremist,” including the opinion that criminals should be arrested.

LA Police Chief Michel Moore says the thin blue line flag represents “the honor, valor, dedication, and sacrifice of law enforcement to protect our communities” but also “undemocratic, racist, and bigoted views.” Political lackeys are good at talking out of both sides of their mouths.

As the liberal establishment’s aggressive embrace of Black Lives Matter established, criminals are the good guys and local police are the bad guys. Therefore, a flag representing support for police is thoughtcrime.

The LAPD chief ordered all flags with the symbol to be removed from public areas.

The Los Angeles Police Protective League responds:

“It is difficult to express the level of utter disgust and disappointment with Chief Moore’s politically pandering directive to remove Thin Blue Line flags and memorials for fallen officers from all public areas within our police stations. This direction came as a result of complaints from anti-police, criminal apologists, and activists who hold too much sway over our city leaders and, unfortunately, our Chief.”

Moonbats screech that the thin blue line flag is “white supremacist.” That this is untrue is particularly obvious in Los Angeles, where most cops are either black or Hispanic.

Moore has made it explicit that higher-ups do not have the backs of officers on the street. The inevitable effect on morale will degrade public safety. This is in accordance with the liberal agenda, as George Soros having placed pro-criminal Los Angeles County DA George Gascon in power confirms. The likely intent of deliberately increasing violent crime is to set the stage for a major gun grab, leaving law-abiding citizens still less safe.

At the head of the stampede of people escaping the dysfunctional hellhole moonbats are making of New York are police officers:

The NYPD saw 3,701 cops retire or resign in 2022…

The War on Police that pro-crime liberals waged in the name of their patron saint George Floyd predictably set off the exodus. Who wants to risk his life to protect people who prove they don’t deserve it every election? The Democrats New Yorkers overwhelmingly vote for tie cops’ hands and side with the criminals.

The mass migration took place as the NYPD hired 1,982 officers in 2022, leaving the department down some 1,700 cops…

Now minority residents are less oppressed by systemic racism. They can walk the streets in safety, not fearing random violence. Or at least, that’s how it ought to work according to the ideology espoused by liberal elitists who would not dare set foot in a Bronx housing project without a police escort.

Bail reform, resentment for the city’s vaccination mandate, the defund-the-police movement, cops feeling disrespected, and the lure of higher pay and lower stress proved to be the final push out the door for many cops.

The good news is that Florida will have experienced candidates to choose from:

Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is vocal about his support for police agencies, launched the Law Enforcement Recruitment Bonus Payment Program, which offers officers from other states up to $5,000 as a sign-on bonus.

Even with lower pay, Florida police end up with more to spend due to New York’s brutal tax burden. Also, in Florida they are more likely to be treated with respect, and to work for people who have their back.

The bad news is that the quality of those serving in the NYPD will continue to deteriorate as recruiters get more desperate. Denigration of police will become a self-fulfilling prophecy in liberal cities like New York, where people will end up with the police they have earned.

On a tip from Wiggins.

No wonder people are escaping in droves from Democrat-dominated states like California, New York, and Illinois. Even as crime remains out of control in the aftermath of Black Lives Matter, liberals double down on marginalizing police and facilitating lawlessness. Deep blue Illinois has just jumped off a cliff by putting into force the dementedly pro-criminal SAFE-T Act.

The elimination of cash bail as in New York was held up for now by a judge, but the rest went into effect Sunday. Aspects include…

…limiting when defendants can be deemed flight risks, allowing defendants under electronic monitoring to leave home for 48 hours before they can be charged with escape, and preventing police from arresting non-violent trespassers…

You thought Chicago could not get any worse? Democrats can make anything worse.

Critics say that the new measures will handcuff police and increase crime by releasing criminals with tickets rather than arresting them for certain crimes.

Democrats have been generating violent anarchy on purpose. Their #1 donor, ahead of even Sam Bankman-Fried, is George Soros, who has spent $millions installing pro-criminal DAs along the lines of Alvin Bragg (New York), George Gascon (Los Angeles), Kim Foxx (Chicago), Kim Ogg (Houston), Larry Krasner (Philadelphia), Chesa Boudin (San Francisco), and Kim Gardner (St Louis). The resulting explosion in crime was clearly premeditated.

The new law also allows for anonymous misconduct complaints against police officers when in the past officers were able to know the identity of the person accusing them.

The effect on morale, recruitment, and retention of police officers will be as intended, resulting in fewer and lower quality cops.

“When I said that this is the most dangerous law I’ve ever seen, I believe that,” Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau told Fox News.

The Most Dangerous Law is also known as the Purge Law, in reference to the movies/TV series about crime being made legal for 12 hours once a year to keep the population down. In Illinois, the Purge will take place all year around, until the population disappears completely. This is the fate of every state that succumbs to the Democrat Death Spiral, whereby Democrats drive out sane people, resulting in ever more radical Democrats getting elected.

Progressives have no fear that voters will hold them responsible for the crime they create. It occurs mainly among constituencies that have already succumbed to the Democrat Death Spiral, where there is no chance of anyone but Democrats winning elections.

To grasp their motive, consider that there are two major impediments to the liberal agenda: the First Amendment (which they have been taking a sledgehammer to) and the Second Amendment.

When hamstringing police results in violent crime, the solution is to disarm law-abiding citizens. If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on not being a Democrat.

On tips from Varla and Occam’s Stubble.

Anarchotyranny means that even as Democrats tighten the ligature on fundamental liberties like freedom of religion and the right of self-defense, they further erode law and order at the local level. A bill filed in Texas last week would forbid law enforcement from using nonlethal or as they call it nowadays “less-lethal” ammunition, which is designed to incapacitate but not kill, in case BLM/Antifa rioters or other criminals get hurt:

Rep. Erin Zwiener, a Hays County [Austin area] Democrat, filed the bill that would prohibit police from using less-lethal ammunition to control crowds. According to Zwiener’s bill, House Bill 974, less-lethal ammunition includes those commonly known as rubber bullets, wooden bullets, sponge rounds and bean bag rounds.

California’s Alameda County (Oakland area) has already agreed to stop using rubber bullets after hooligans were injured in the 2020 riots. Moonbattery-addled Washington State has passed a law banning them.

Those tasked with maintaining public order are not happy:

“How many times do we have to do this circle?” [Dallas Police Association president Mike] Mata said. “We started with the [lateral vascular neck restraint] and it was a great tool, but just like anything else, when it’s done improperly, it can injure. Then we went to the baton. Well, we can’t use the baton because it’s an aggressive impact weapon that can injure – obviously, you’re hitting someone with a steel stick. Then we went to the Taser. Well, they looked to stop doing the Taser because if you’re a person who’s going through some form of drug-induced or you’re in poor health there’s a chance you could have a heart attack. Then, we had to stop using the pepper spray for the same reasons.”

Stern admonitions will still be allowed, so long as officers don’t raise their voices or say anything offensive.

With the hundreds of Black Lives Matter/Antifa riots that occurred in 2020, Democrats exploited street violence as a political weapon, just as Nazis did with the Sturmabteilung. The next time the liberal establishment finds it advantageous to whip urban mobs into a frenzy over some alleged social injustice, the police will find their hands tied all the tighter.
