Furious former California sheriff's deputy tears into progressive counties for 'not having our backs' and 'crazy woke district attorneys' as she reveals what she quit the force

A former California sheriff's deputy who left the force after being brutally attacked by a suspect gave future law enforcement a chilling warning,saying being a cop is 'not worth it.'

Meagan McCarthy quit the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department in 2022 after she was attacked by a suspect who beat her before gaining control of her gun and firing shots at the mother.

The man who attacked her in the 2019 incident, Ari Young,was acquitted of attempted murder and assault charges after a reform to the state's jury selection process allowed those with an "expressed bias" against law enforcement to sit on the case,according to McCarthy. 

Now the ex-cop is cautioning anyone considering joining the force to reconsider because lawmakers will not protect them.

'It would be really hard for me to go and serve the institution of law enforcement,just because the politicians,the elected officials,our leaders do not have our backs,' McCarthy told Fox News.

Young proceeded to fire it at the officer multiple times as she attempts to run away.

The bullets fired at the McCarthy missed and she luckily escaped the incident without life-threatening injury. She was taken to hospital without serious injury.

On May 31,2023 a jury acquitted Young - who suffers from schizophrenia - of the attempted murder charge,but did find him guilty of negligent discharge of a firearm.

'If my boys or my daughter came to me and said "Mom,I want to be a cop" I would give them every reason not to be.'

'I took a lot of pride in being a cop,' she said. 'I love serving the community,and I just wish that law enforcement was able to get that pendulum swinging back for them.'
