Police officers, your organization was designed to keep a lid on the criminal element. Your function is generally to round up the stragglers of society. Your place of work is staffed, trained, and equipped with this in mind.
The closest thing you know to something like this is riot control. There are lots of people doing crazy things during a riot, and you may think you know all about how to control a crowd.
But take any big riot, like say the LA riots... the number of people you have to control is a slim minority of the population at large. Most people aren't out rioting, most people are home protecting their family and property. You think because it's a big crowd, that you know how to control "big crowds".
BLM riots, you were told to stand down. You didn't actually control those. So you can't tell yourselves that "you controlled those BLM riots". You were there to act as witnesses and "referees" that stay mostly out of the way.
When the Great Awakening comes to your area, you may think that you can just go to work as usual, and this is going to be just another big crowd you might need to control.
In any given area, about 50% of the population is sick of globohomo's shit, and fed up with your civic leaders' garbage. This isn't some small segment of the population you will be face to face with. This will be HALF YOUR TOWN.
You ready to stand down half of your town? All two dozen of you? You're going to put the boot to grandma's neck now? And the neighbor who brought you homemade jam? Or her teenage sons? These peaceful people, from all walks of life, who are not hurting anyone. And for what? How will that look when it gets posted on the internet for the whole world to see? These aren't rioters. They aren't stealing nikes and they arent burning anything down. They aren't screaming like wild dogs. The same use of force that you are trained to use for riots and mobs isn't proportionate.
Where is it in your job denoscription that you have to do such a thing? This isn't a mob, it isn't a riot, it isn't violent, it isn't full of criminals and dregs of society. This isn't a hippie lovefest with a bunch of high teenagers. This is LITERALLY HALF YOUR TOWN. What exactly do you think you have to control, in your function as a police officer?
Your bosses may tell you "go out there and send those people home" or "go take their gas" or "start arresting people". But this is NOT a situation where your bosses have any right to ask you to do that. And if it were me, I would step out of the way and let the politicians responsible for this mess face their own consequences and stop trying to use all two dozen of you cops as meat shields that they cower behind as they go to parties that cost triple what you make in a whole year, ignoring the division they've caused with their own crap policies.
Ask yourself "at what point is this not in my job denoscription?" Surely, if your boss asked you to go sacrifice yourself by jumping off a cliff for his wife's satan-ritual, you would say no. Because that just goes too far.
Asking you to stand in between their quivering asses, and The People, is going too far. It's asking too much of you. If/when this comes to your town, and it's your cowardly mayor telling you to do this to your neighbors... you do NOT have to comply.
The Great Awakening is coming, and no amount of citations or tear gas canisters can stop it. If you stop for a minute to think about it, you will realize that you cannot turn back this tide. So don't let your mayor use you as a meat shield.
May the Peace of Jesus be with you always.
