There have been some calls for a national blu flu sick-out on July 3rd ,4th, and 5th. In some areas, I can fully understand this attitude. In many cases, it is a fear of people turning on them. I can even understand the people who say to give them a taste of what defunding the police really means.
The good news for America is that, at least on the forums I am in, most officers are saying no to it. The comments include that they would not consider leaving the good people unprotected, that they did not become cops to be liked but did it to help, and unfortunately the honest "No thanks, I need my job". I wish more cops were more enthusiastic about the first two reasons than the third though.
I doubt NYPD will see a significant reduction in patrols this weekend. Unless their union calls for the illegal strike that is.
