Blogging at Instapundit, Ed Driscoll links to a series of articles reporting large numbers of sworn police leaving the Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis PDs. Most are going via retirements, some are just bailing.
I can't imagine anyone who reads this blog being even slightly surprised at this outcome. One supposes similar stories exist with respect to police exits in NYC, LA, Chicago, St. Louis, and Atlanta. These are all places tending to diss their LEOs.
For its own good, our society needs to get over this police-bashing phase. Maybe things will calm down after the election.
