"There are multiple stressors that folks experience," said Caroline Otto, assistant director of the FBI's Resource Planning office. "We have heard very compelling and heart-wrenching stories across the workforce in these areas."

Roughly a hundred or so years ago I would say this may have been something that could be a side-project for those who take interest in that area as it was right around the period cop unions were being established and were being fought against by the state as being a "Bolshevik plot to communize the police" but now the established culture of the non-federal and federal law enforcement are so deeply entertwined with the interests of the State that I can only think the ripe time to attempt active recruiting among the current law enforcement forces is in the event of a civil war where the Communist party is an active player.

We are, on the u.s side, too small and insignificant to even dare focus our meager resources on anything other than rebuilding our roots in the working class. Time spent on trying to radicalize a handful of police is time not spent on organizing working class power.

I won't tell any volunteers who want to pursue trying to flip poor law enforcement to not do so if it is truly something they take interest in, but I won't burn my time nor my party's time on things that have lesser importance to building the tinder for sparking the revolution and building towards a Soviet America

also I wanna point out that in total, there are around 136,000 people working for federal law enforcement, around 35,000 of them at the FBI. In comparison there are 508,000 US Postal Service workers and somewhere around 4,000,000 teachers. So even if even we wanted to sway over the federal piggies, they represent a very small cross section even of public employees. Our time would literally be better spent talking to the 52,000 vending machine service workers in America.

People also fail to consider how many pigs will become traitors to the ruling class when the chips are actually down and they might have to actually suffer for their crimes because they are actually undisciplined cowards. You don’t need to sway any kind of pig because more often than not that’s exactly what they are.

Yeah maybe they'll be traitors in some hypothetical future where their masters stop funding them or they're facing the threat of organized masses. To be a pig in current day America you have to be either clueless or a entity constructed out of raw, vibrating racism. Neither of which is gonna work for us.

I do uphold the current idea that police recruitment rates right now are so shit because of political organizing, especially since 2020. People despise cops now. People who want to be cops want respect, or like you said, they're undisciplined cowards and don't want to face a public who actively hates them.

That saying about how our rulers have names and addresses? Postal workers already know.
