content: If things continue the way they do, I fully expect hundreds, maybe thousands of cops will abandon their posts to protect their families. 9-1-1 is already a joke, but there’s still a ways to go. Things will come to a head when dispatch centers start coming under attack. Mark my words, true chaos will not break out through mass attacks on police, but rather on the one advantage they have: organized communication. On the first night of the MN riots, I listened to the police radio from a nearby city. All the day shift officers had been held over, and because they were all deployed in the downtown area, PD supervisors were literally telling them to start sharing radios and rationing their batteries. I can only imagine how unguarded (and easily fellable) the dispatch center(s) were.
