Truck Drivers Say They Won’t Deliver To Cities with Defunded Police Departments

Quote
As cities across the country are discussing defunding or disbanding their police departments, truck drivers are voicing concerns of safety. Seventy-seven percent of truck drivers say they will refuse to deliver freight to cities with defunded police departments.

Truck driving is historically ranked as one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. In 2018, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic reported truck driving as the most deadly job in the country.

Truck drivers have spent the last year on the front line of a global pandemic and protests. Now many are fearful of what might happen if police departs disband or are defunded.

Placations have consequences.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Truck Drivers Say They Won’t Deliver To Cities with Defunded Police Departments

Meanwhile ... no one is doing a thing to stop the defund police movement and mob rule.  It's only going to grow until it is completely out of control and when that happens we will see a civil war.

What's happening in Seattle should be squelched now, not later.  Trump saying that he's going to take care of things and then he doesn't is only encouraging them.  They now know that he's bluffing and they can do whatever the heck they want.

Ehh.... I don't think he's bluffing.  I think he is biding his time.   And timing is everything.

Biding his time exactly for what? Till more police departments are disbanded??  So far that's exactly what's happening as they have no opposition.  Perhaps when larger groups start to make demands throughout the country, will the 'timing' be right then?

Unfortunately this isn't the first time Trump has backpedaled on issues and waited till it was too late and eventually what he said and failed to do left him completely ineffective.

Possibly for public opinion to come around to it being ok for "government" to go in and rescue the minority of American citizens in Seattle that are not rabid leftists and that want their city back.   That would be my guess.  One thing's for sure.... most Americans are NOT in favor of any damned "no go zones" in America like there are in other nations.   These idiots in Seattle are only cementing that as this fiasco goes on, IMO.

Not one of these "Autonomous Zones" will fail to become a jackbooted horror. Just watch.
Nut until they do, and enough of them that it cannot be ignored, even by the Media, then any intervention will be used to decry the actions of the Federal Government as the sort of 'fascism' the Communists are protesting.

This has become a game of optics, of strategy, and the Alinskyite principle of using the enemy's rules against them is in play here.
So, also, is the principle of provoking an overreaction that will make the enemy even more evil than you are, making your side the lesser evil, and we know how that plays out among the masses.

Of course protection rackets in the Zone are being denied. Anybody there want to be the first to step forward and say something (and have a tragic accident)?  Nope. Didn't think so.

Until the internal resistance starts smuggling out video of what is going on, of oppression by those who claim to be the oppressed, of arbitrary and capricious street punishment dealt out on the spot, of the "law" of the law is what I say it is, nothing really can be done without giving the very criminals doing this the fodder to raise an army. Casus Belli: Waaah!! they won't let us have our way!

Let them steep in their own juices for a while, track any money, in or out, and keep supplies short.

Oh, and declare Antifa a terrorist organization. 

It's still Spring, have the roundup in the Fall.

If communites like SPAZ continue to crop up, these urban locations are going to look like Mad Max movies.

That's how sieges work.  After watching videos of Reginald Denny, I would not drive a truck into a riot either.

As cities across the country are discussing defunding or disbanding their police departments, truck drivers are voicing concerns of safety. Seventy-seven percent of truck drivers say they will refuse to deliver freight to cities with defunded police departments.

Truck driving is historically ranked as one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. In 2018, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic reported truck driving as the most deadly job in the country.

Truck drivers have spent the last year on the front line of a global pandemic and protests. Now many are fearful of what might happen if police departs disband or are defunded.

Truck drives have been voicing their concerns on the CDLLife App. After reading about their concerns, CDLLife posted a poll on the app.

We asked drivers on the app, “Would you pick up/deliver to cities with defunded or disbanded police departments? Why or why not?”

To date, 77% of drivers say they will refuse loads to cities with disbanded or defunded police departments.

Normally products and goods to grocery stores and places like Walmart drop off at a main distribution center within each state and then trucks are dispatched to various different stores within the state.  IF the distribution center is inaccessible then it could very easily disrupt the supply of foods and goods, even out to the burbs.

I always figured those centers would be located far from urban centers where land is cheap/plentiful?

I was just thinking about this earlier today (and just finished reading a little more from "The Black Book of communism").

Sooner or later, we're going to have to engage these people -- the new American communist movement. Whether they go by the names of "antifa", or "black lives matter", or CPUSA, or by their most common moniker of "democrat"... doesn't matter. We're still gonna have to fight.

And I don't mean with words or ballots, either.

We can do it sooner, when the fight will be easier, or we can turn or eyes from the reality that such a struggle might even [again] happen on American soil, and put it off.

Words of Winston Churchill:
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

I've posted the American Timeline before.
For some reason it seems to draw little reaction in this forum.
Perhaps the general opinion is, "he's full of sh**!"
Or perhaps folks look at it and then... turn away, being something too disheartening to contemplate.
But looking ahead, I can see this coming.
Can it be stopped before it happens?

@Fishrrman

Or maybe many of us already understand this is the "wave of the future",and don't comment because we have nothing of value to add?

Yeah,many of us can bitch about the time line and claim the schedule is off due to our own personal biases,but big bleeping deal. The story is the same even if it happens on a different day.

Cheap? In most middle to large cities,the cities will give them tax breaks and help them pay their moving expenses to relocate to their city.

It doesn't get any cheaper than "they pay you to come".

They need the jobs to reduce unemployment,and help balance the city budget.

Not to mention attract other companies looking for somewhere to relocate to lower their operating expenses.
