FBI Chief Worried About Future of Law Enforcement
Posted On 18 May 2016
At a memorial service for fallen agents last Friday, FBI Director James Comey expressed concerns for the future of law enforcement. Comey has not been on the same page as the rest of the Obama Justice Department when it comes to the anti-police rhetoric of the last couple of years. At times, you have to wonder if Comey isn’t the only person in the entire administration with the sense God gave a goat.
“I worry very much — especially with a lot of controversy around law enforcement these days, and sometimes healthy skepticism becoming cynicism — that young men and women may be discouraged from pursuing this kind of service,” Comey said.
Comey said that the current environment of hatred towards cops may make it difficult for people to choose law enforcement for a career. “I worry very much, are young men and women making that same choice today at the rate we need them to?” he asked. “I don’t know. I think it’s something we all have to worry about.”
That’s an aspect of the conversation that we don’t talk about enough. What happens to the next generation of would-be cops? When you’re more likely to wind up vilified than honored, you might come to think life behind a desk isn’t so bad. We’re not going to simply stop having cops, are we? No. We’re going to have to go to the next round. The people that are so desperate for work that they’re willing to play along with the cumbersome new rules and public sentiments that make being a police officer that much more dangerous.
It’s not just going to be police, either. Who will want to work in our schools after another few years of this liberal nonsense? Who would anyone want to be a teacher in an environment where you can’t even discipline a child without offending his cultural upbringing? Who would want to be the administrator at a college where you might be fired because you can’t answer, on demand, what “white privilege” means to you?
Sure, those positions will be filled, but by whom? Well, it’s the same thing. You get the people who have no alternatives along with a smattering of excellent professionals who are so dedicated to the goal that they’re willing to suffer.
What’s happening affects us right now, yes, but we may not truly see the fruits of this insanity for another ten years. And woe be unto us when it starts to blossom. Whatever joy we may get from saying “we were right” will be cold comfort indeed.
In 1984 I left a developing law practice and entered on duty as an FBI Agent. For almost 25 years I went wherever I was asked working Islamic terrorism and large scale criminal enterprises. I thought I was making some difference but as I look back I realize the world is far worse off now than 1984. We have descended so far down that we now have a President who hates our citizenry, our Constitution and completely ignores the rule of law that is the basis for all our success. I now believe I should have remained a practicing attorney and fought against governmental corruption through one of the many private organizations that exist. I loved being an Agent but as a man who wanted to be an agent of positive change I failed.
You did not fail, your superiors failed while you tried. Thank you for your service in law enforcement.
Take a look at the current makeup of the Civil Rights Division within the DOJ. It is made up entirely of new young liberal lawyers who were chosen specifically from the ranks of liberal., activist, socialist groups. This is no coincidence. This is a deliberate conspiracy as is true in our federal court system as well. The SCOTUS is at the tipping point. When it goes America is done unless the entire SCOTUS charter is reviewed and corrected.
we have no justice anymore , the doj is corrupt, the scotus is corrupt , the white house is corrupt, and most judges are corrupt , so how can you have justice, the man in the white house should be behind bars not running the country
Such a sad state that has engulfed our great nation in just a few short years. Can we ever recover? It is such a mess!
Have the military arrest the entire government is the only way. The government approval rating with the military is below 29%. Now would be the time to act in defense of America.
The ONLY president, that ordered our troops to fire upon our vets, was Herbert Hoover!
Remember reading about the BONUS MARCH?
Great president?
And your point was Comrade dingbat?
Our ONLY, convicted, attorney-general was Nixon’s first, John Mitchell!!
PERFECTLY CLEAR??
this is the results of having a bunch of useless ni**ers running the country , and the cowards in congress to afraid to so no to the scumbag, and maxx the freak in the white house has purged the real americans out of the military , and replaced them with liberal lap dogs , who will not keep there oaths and protect us from enemies from with in, a civil war is coming if they soon don’t get there shit together in d.c.
I am a Caucasian!
I USED to be a REPUBLICAN!
I USED to be a conservative.
Nixon CURED me of that!!
You WANT another Civil War?
Remember Fort Sumter?
Perhaps you used to be a Republican, so was I until May 5, 2016!
You were NEVER a Conservative
AND as Ron White explained, there is NO cure for somethings!
well i’m not really a republican or a democrat , i just want anyone who is going to run the country by the laws we have, and i don’t see government fixing the problem , like regan said government will not fix the problem because government is the problem
No, I don’t remember Fort Sumter, and I doubt you do, other than from studying history. A civil war isn’t determined by only one faction, unless demands of either aren’t Constitutional. It is doubtful if agreement can be reached by either an over-reaching federal government OR those willing to stand against it. And BOTH would have to to stop one.
Did President Washington over-reach when he led federal troops, to cross state lines, to crush the WHISKEY REBELLION?
You are truly a worthless pos and when you die the world will be a better place! If I was somehow informed of your death I would throw a big party to celebrate that fact and there would be dancing in the streets!
thank you ,thank you , thank you, i didn’t think any one would care if i died , and your going to throw me a party thank you
The members of congress and the senate need to be worried about running for reelection. Someone I read while ago was saying that Joe Biden would make a great president because of things he has said while running against Obama and Hillary. Why do people not have enough sense to not believe things politicians say, during election or afterward?
One other factor to be considered is the distrust many folks have in our election process. Bush’s and Obama’s reelection to a second term were both questioned. We have since found out how easy it is to rig voting machines while setting in a parked car outside a voter’s center. We hear of votes not being counted or of precincts cutting off additional votes by closing early or leaving voters standing in line after the cut off time. Illegals being allowed to cast votes, voters voting more than once.
We did recover from Nixon!!
Worlds apart. The country was not in complete disarray during Nixon’s term. No comparison at all.
Not in complete disarray?
Didn’t we have Huston plan”
Didn’t Spiro Agnew PROMISE to protect us from “black panthers”?
Still believe the plane crash, of Dorothy Hunt, was an accident?
Chuck Colson did not!!
Back then as is now there is way too much criminal activity. Just look at all of those people that have died for the Clinton Foundation? Too many knew too much so they had to go.
Ever hear of the Hoover Foundation?
Herbert Hoover oversaw the Food For Belgium program!
A relative of his, Margaret Hoover, ran the Hoover Foundation!
She also sat on a Belgian “education” panel.
PAYBACK??
Expect Rush Limbaugh to get upset about that?
We have recovered from them all so far but this non-American that is holding the office of President is going to be a lot harder. He is also a radical Muslem. He has almost completed his destruction of America and if we stop him now I believe we can stop this take over. Now we need the Military to do the job they also swore to do no matter whether they are foreign or domestic terrorist and that;s what Obama is.
Non-American?
Obama was born in Hawaii!
Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Austria!
Which American is native born?
Nixon, not Obama, invited Muslim Muhammed Ali to the White House!
Our ONLY president, to order our troops to fire upon our vets, was Herbert Hoover!
Ever read about the BONUS MARCH?
Obama was not born in Hawaii. Has Obama given proof of where he was born? Not yet as the Supreme Court of Alabama has done the investigating from the birth certificate Obama has given and declared it a phoney/forgey. During an interview from a news reporter from Obama’s grandmother in Kenya said he was born right across over there at the hospital in Kenya.
Obama had an order to ask military members if they would fire on other Americans and those that wouldn’t were discharged, as well as new members of the military were asked the same question and those that wouldn;t were not accepted. I am a 19 year veteran and I trully believe that Obama is a radical muslem terrorist. He should be shot on sight. That;s my belief. As well as the two you asked about Neither.
The Supreme Court of Alabama overrules the Supreme Court of the United States?
SINCE WHEN??
Since the Supreme Court of the US has not made any kind of ruling. If they say it is not real the Democrats would just come at them and call then racist. The same thing would be if they tried to impeach this idiot we have in the WH. Being he is black they would holler so loud that we are racist against Obama when we aren’t. It is just the way that they are being the ones that are racist. This is nothing but black and white. The birth certificate is phoney. There is so many things about it that isn’t true. When his grandmother stated where he was born in Kenya and now she is no where to be found. Too convient that no one kows where she is. This has nothing to do with color but just about truth.
Isn’t it amazing that Obama has no past friends, teachers or anyone from his past that will talk? He has no school or any other kind of record. Amazing he could pull that off. No one else, even Hillary, can do that.
There was only one person that said anything and that was his grandmother during an interviews in Kenya with her. she was asked where was Obama born? she said right across the way over there. Even after the interview she was no longer seen and is still gone now. seems she was interviewed for the first and last time but the media has not posted that interview but once and i saw it on TV.
Of course it is a forgery. The name of the hospital on his birth certificate did not even exist at that time in Hawaii. Also, the term “African” was not used under the category of “race” on birth certificates at that time. The term “negro” was used on birth certificates in all 50 states in 1961.
You may have talked to some of the military that are libs. The majority of our military would never fire a shot on American civilians. I’m a vet and my husband retired after 24 years. We are always military. No one we ever talked to would ever fire on their own people. They may of said they would, but I guarantee they will turn their guns on those that gave the order.
Think of their reasoning. If they fire on civilians as well as their brothers and sisters, their family will also get killed. At least they have good logic.
The support POTUS and DOD gets is from blackmail and payoffs. Not commitment or respect.
I am former Military also and I go along with you in that I don’t think they would fire on other American’s either. I wouldn’t have. All of those that even worked for me wouldn’t fire on other Americans whether they were in the military or not. They were our neighbors, friends or who ever they were, as we were all just one. Each watched each others backs. Maybe what Obama was saying and they all just said what he wanted to hear, you know like politicians do.
I don’t see how! Particularly when all we have running is Frick, Frack and Fruzzelnuts! The America Electorate has completely lost any of it’s common sense! A Serial Murder and Liar, An Avowed Socialist, and a Narcissistic, Petulant A_ _, Democrat Pied Piper!
And it is every level of government — no equality before the law, no constitutional rule of law and the people dispossessed of their every unalienable Right. My local county board, for example, is every bit as corrupt as any Congress in Washington, or any General Assembly in Richmond. This dispossession of government of the people is a sad scene repeated across the many states.
The key to ownership of government is taking back at the local grassroots level, and this is why my focus in now at the county level. The dirty little secret is that if the people take control of their affairs immediately about them, those in far off places can exercise little control from the top down.
you are right, and that is why i stay prepared at home , when it comes to my back yard i will defend it , it won’t take a war to fix it , it just need to take out the freaks causing this , and that is in d.c. wipe them out and the states will have to listen to us again, just like d.c. states have racked up so much debt they are owned by d.c. and with out taxes flowing into d.c you will see them panic, that’s why oboma is using blackmail to control the states
Cliven Bundy “law”?
Thanks to Loretta Lynch, and her DOJ, Ahmed Abu Khattallah is in custody!
The charges?
The murders of Ambassador Stevens and his bodyguards!
Nixon YOUR hero??
Bet your last $$ Money, the KenyaKnickker turns him Loose!
Trey Gowdy apprehended him?
And congratulations to them, it only took them four years longer than it did the media to find him! For them, as is the case with every Progressive Institution, that’s very nearly instantaneous!
Rush Limbaugh apprehended him?
i hate to inform you but there were a lot more involved in benghazi then 1 guy , what about them, lynch is a useless peace of oboma stool, don’t worry if we get a real president oboma ,hillary and lynch will all be behind bars
Our ONLY AG to wind up behind bars was Nixon’s first, John Mitchell!!
Perfectly clear?
You’re absolutely right Mr. Richard Bagenstose, especially since the last seven plus years.
Hey Mr FBI Director , you can keep worrying until y’all start doing your job with these political players and not let Obullshit bully you into letting treasonous criminals walk away from just do punishment !! Start with Kilary, Lynch, Holder, Reid and the number one player, Obullshit !!
Agreed, The FBI could have blown the lid off the Clinton case already if they wanted to. There could be a method to their madness, though. Time will tell.
As a retired Cleveland Policeman, I do have to say the people on the job today tend to be a bully with a badge collage boy who is not in touch with the people, as opposed to the street smart copper of the past who was an integral part of the community. – Getting off your keester and out of the car and BSing with the people and the kids is a wonderful thing. Many today just don’t have the talent to do it…but it might just be a sign of the times when you see 2 people sitting next to each other in a bar texting to each other. (damn glad I’m out of touch with the times)
In any case, those of you on the job today,,,Watch yourself out there…and God bless ya. (Hey, we knew the job was tough when we took it, right?)
GLAD I retired back in 1988, and have NO regrets in having done so!
Please don’t forget Kerry. He is responsible for negotiating the Iran Deal because he was on Iran’s side as the US capitulated.
Another wonderful part of Obama’s legacy. He is the most destructive President in modern history.
I think his legacy will be exactly as you described.
And he damn well should be. Obama and the liberals agenda with all the weekly manufactured crisis created by Obama in places like Baltimore, Ferguson, New Orleans were all planned and orchestrated by Obama and Holder with the purpose of having the DOJ come in and take control of the local police departments. This has been the Obama’s plan to federalize as many local law enforcement entities as possible under the disguise of phony trumped up charges of “discrimination”. He doesn’t have much time left to destroy America so watch for more stupid and dangerous and unconstitutional executive orders as possible. Congress, why do you even still exist?
Comey is right. The Obama Hillary effect is going to destroy everything the FBI stands for. Right now a large segment of Native Americans say it means full blooded Indian. Sure it no longer stands for integrity. Better find Hillary guilty of mishandling Secret documents or the agency is DONE!
Our ONLY, jailed, attorney-general was Nixon’s first, John Mitchell!
REPUBLICAN “law and order”?
INOPERATIVE!!
Wish you were here on the res to state your case. Your chosen candidate now is who? And you represent law and order? You are not police or military. Just another opinion.
THERE IS A GOLFER NAMED JACK NICHOLSON WHO WAS FINED MILLIONS FOR INSIDER TRADING. HE BROKE THE LAW. THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT ARE ALLOWED TO INSIDE TRADE ARE THE HOUSE AND SENATE. THEY PASSED A LAW THAT MADE THEM ABOVE THE LAW. ONE TERM PER TERMITE. THE ONLY LOBBY IS IN A TRUMP HOTEL.

when judges side with bent cops even though they know beyond doubt that the cop is lying, how can anyone trust the courts or the cops. If you want proof that cops can NOT be trusted, just ask the people of NEW ORLEANS who the biggest looters were during Katrina.
And when our laws are selectively enforced from the highest levels how can we trust in anything within our country?
Our ONLY, jailed, attorney-general was Nixon’s first, John Mitchell!
Good role model??
So much BS in one article. May I suggest that cops need to be respected. No cop is going to be respected IF he is perceived as a shoot first and shoot to kill coward. The dirty harry generation of cops is what we have today. The minimally qualified to wear that badge is NOT what we need.
The cameras on cops will discourage the bad seeds from doing harm IF they know that they will be prosecuted. The FBI director is dead wrong. We don’t want a gestapo police state where the police are judge, jury and executioner. Times are changing once again. The veil over the peoples eyes is being lifted. More news outlets that are not controlled by the police state are available. This is a good thing.
Ever hear of police officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo?
They were murdered by Jerad Miller and Amanda Miller!
Their gang leader was Cliven Bundy!
Ever hear of Ray Kot, Sunil Rattu and Martin Caballero?
They were murdered at Trump Taj Mahal!
When you have a president who wont shut down the borders. He wants to give the illegals a pass for being here and a right to vote in our country. Lets the criminal element out of jail and a right for felons to vote. Lets drug pushers out of jail. Gives illegals medical attention when citizens no longer have a doctor or a plan in a community hospital. When we have a piece of scheit president who should be ventilated with bullets for backing the seperation of the american people we have got a problem. Our military is being set up for a fall. Obama is the enemy and him and his administration should be hung by the neck until dead.
If you want credibility to resurface again you need to do your jobs. Hillary Clinton is nothing but a criminal from her emails, her actions of the choices she made by getting 4 American’s killed, and the list goes on and on and. It is past time she needs to be prosecuted for those as well as other actions. Just by doing that and Prosecution of Bill Clinton also for Rape is but a start. It is right now that we need this part done so now you can earn your credibility again. Then wipe out the corruption of politicians.
Why be in law enforcement ? they seem to just go after the little guy, the biggies end up with a pass. Plus if you do shoot a criminal you get hung out to dry.!!!!!
No American President has ever prosecuted a past president…..maybe you are Eric Hartman but you are not looking at history. The biggest problems were Dick Cheney in W’s admin…….but I would prefer him to Hillary!
What ? Obozo don’t count ? the worst President this country has ever known.!!!!!!!
I really hat to agree with some of you, but one of the biggest mistakes Obama made was not prosecuting W and his band of marauding idiots first thing out of the box.
GW Bush an B Obama have proven that anyone can be Pres..no special skills needed..lets see if u have enough nerve to state the 1 of the 2 big reasons… W an marauders should have been investigated open to public..
Save our civilization. Cancel any and all policies established by Obama and the Left if Repubs gain the White House.
As long as Obama remains in office,although that is now down to eight months and minus,then he’ll continue to sabotage our constitution with more illegals,more LGBT rights imposed onto a divided American public,and the eventual abuse of our own law enforcement,when they are used against honest Americans,like the HRC and ACLU,being used by radical LGBT factions,when they encounter other people,who don’t agree,or have any business to do with Gay equality,and the equally absurd Transgender bathroom laws,that are driving a huge stake through our civil rights venues-this fraud will continue to divide our Nation,until we fall,and suffering for a self chosen minority out there,is NOT realistic,nor is Obama’s unrealistic edicts being imposed on a validly disagreed public,which will continue to cause problems! we all need to come back to reality already,and end this gross abuse of our civil rights laws at the hands of an irresponsible and opportunist president,and impeach this fraud!!
I worry to, about a total lack of Justice, but, I worry more about an FBI Director who has not managed to do his Duty. Why haven’t you done anything about Hillary, Mr. Director? Accountability starts at the Top.
Why would anyone want to be a cop, or in any part of Law Enforcement, when you are targeted not just by the criminals, but your own mayor, governor, or president of the US? I thank God that I reached retirement and was able to get out just as the hunt by liberal politicians was starting to become the norm! The politicians want to hire “professionals” who have a college education and additional trading to qualify as an officer, on top of the general police academy. Who would go thru all that just to get a low paying job working nights, weekends, holidays, in hurricanes and tornadoes, hot sweaty nights on city streets, long lonely patrols on highways with help an hour away, and just to put the cherry on top, you will be thrown under the bus at the slightest chance that you may have done something wrong, or even questionable. And when you are found not guilty, because everyone knows you are really guilty, the politicians said so, you still get ostracized and run out of town because they branded you guilty from day one! And after you have been made destitute, paying for your own lawyers to prove your innocence, you don’t even get a “sorry” from your own politicians for hanging you out to dry, let alone reimbursed for all the legal fees.
SO WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO BE A COP?
I taught school for 37 years and worked in the summers as a ranger. When I retired from school I was lucky enough to get the chief ranger position and work full time for 7 years. Seldom did I encounter the disrespect that I see given to teachers and LEO today. Common sense seems to have disappeared. We are politically correct and common sense stupid. We have done a great deal to stop racism and have offered blacks more opportunities than any other country yet Obama thinks we need a conversation about blacks. How about a conversation about all the good whites have done yet we are supposed to feel guilty when a small segment of the population cause half the crimes. No wonder the younger generation does not want to take up law enforcement especially when they see the double standard that people like Hillary the immoral liar follows. I think if we all knew all the criminality her, her husband and Obama were involved we would scream bloody murder.
if you want more police back them up,not many are inclined to be in law enforcement when they think they will have to go on trial for shooting a bad guy.we need a president who will stand with the cops not vilify them.
Whenever the elites take over a country they look the cops do as they please as long as they back there plays. You know how corrupt the cops are in Mexico they’re the same in all Third World countries and that’s coming here, unless we stand our ground and take our country back from the mentally ill , That’s taken power. It’s time to bandit gather America and get ready when they come you’ll have to defend one another be ready together we cannot fail divided we will not stand. God bless America
I wish we knew who has been pushing Pinocchiobama forward. It’s like he just suddenly popped out of hell with a phony birth certificate and all of congress is afraid to do anything about it. He swore to uphold the Constitution and has done everything BUT. It’s like there are NO Repubs in congress.
Be very careful whom you put in congress. NO RINOs.
Thank Obama and Holder
If, America vote in Hillary, they will just get another 8 years of Bill.. but then if the people do not want to think for themselves or are too stupid to think for themselves, they will get what they deserve.
It upsets me that while there are people going without on the streets of America, and the poverty that is now in America that millions are spent on each candidate to get them into government.
Now just think… can the normal, decent, moral, American afford to do this even with the backing of the people???, of course not, unless he is like Trump and has made his own millions.. So who are you more likely to get as President???, a criminal, who gets his money from crime, drugs etc, and who is he then going to have to pay back for helping him?, criminals..
Here in Australia we generally only have to suffer 6 weeks of that rot and it does not cost everything to get there.. how you guys put up with the length of your elections, I do not know. It is time each state went it alone.. Imagine if you had just one moral state, !!!! 70% of the people would shift there. 70% of Americans are not immoral, perhaps they are just so full of chemicals from their food which has made the once wonderfully, active Americans, docile.
