Irresponsible Indoctrination Protests Have Serious Ugly Consequences ~ Police Officer Severly Injured ~ Students Chant, “Hit Him Again, Hit Him Again”

Posted by Tina

Recalling once again how during the sixties civil rights era our nation was admonished over and over again that hatred and racism have to be taught, it sickens me to watch our nations leader and other community leaders teach hatred and resentment. It sickens me further to read that, as a result of this irresponsible behavior, students in Colorado gleefully cheered like a crowd in a Roman Theater for the death of a police officer. The Conservative Treehouse has the story:

Liberal Indoctrination generates gleeful exhibition of hatred – A police officer remains in critical condition as a result of a Denver High School student #Ferguson protest walkout. Four officers responded to students marching down the street, as the officers tried to protect the students from traffic a motorist slammed into the police.

One officer was horrifically injured as his body was run over and dragged by a vehicle. Details now surface of the protesting students cheering the injury and chanting “hit him again, hit him again” while marching around the fallen officers. (video at link above)

Not all of the students were chanting and several of the march organizers later visited the severely injured officer in the hospital. Those that did chant for the driver of the car to, “hit him again,” are not only ignorant of the facts in the recent Brown/Garner high profile cases but have been indoctrinated to hate police officers, particularly white officers, and to believe that blacks are targeted unfairly. They are also being taught that this gives them the right to protest violently and that opinion, without regard to facts, is an acceptable alternative to the rule of law. It’s not surprising that young minds, already conditioned negatively about race, would soak up the Alinsky style messaging of the past few weeks of radical protest. John Perazzo of FrontPage magazine explains:

In his quest to cultivate the type of chaos that would spark social revolution against America’s capitalist system, Alinsky exhorted activists to constantly “rub raw the resentments of the people” and “fan the latent hostilities to the point of overt expression”—but to do this in measured tones, so as not to “scare off” middle-class Americans.

Thus did Obama dutifully and blandly call for “unity” and calm in the immediate aftermath of Michael Brown’s “heartbreaking and tragic” death, even as he repeatedly reminded us that: “police should not be bullying or arresting” anyone without cause; “in too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and left as objects to fear”; “there is no excuse for excessive force by police”; “the justice gap” between whites and nonwhites is unacceptable; “the criminal-justice system doesn’t treat people of all races equally”; and “too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement, guilty of walking while black, or driving while black, judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness.” And when the grand jury in Ferguson subsequently chose not to indict Darren Wilson because the officer obviously had shot Michael Brown in self-defense, Obama pronounced the black community’s indignation to be “an understandable reaction.”

Obama’s carefully chosen words—all delivered in the type of nonthreatening tenor advocated by Saul Alinsky—clearly communicated a single, foundational theme to African Americans: In the racist cesspool known as the United States, black people are routinely treated like second-class citizens, if not subhumans. Oh, and by the way, please remain calm. Wink, wink.

Alinsky also taught that in some cases activists must be completely willing—for the sake of the moral principles in whose name they profess to act—to turn up the proverbial heat and watch society descend into chaos and anarchy; to “go into a state of complete confusion and draw [their] opponent into the vortex of the same confusion.” “Wherever possible,” Alinsky counseled, “go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.” (continues)

This was not the way of civil rights leaders Martin Luther King or Gandhi who inspired him but it is the way of today’s radical race activists and it is the way of many teachers and professors on our nations high school and college campuses. Students today are regularly taught to see events in life through a distorted lens, to be angry and indignant over trumped up or imagined race (And sex/gender) scenarios. As we have found here on PS, some of them are so horrifically indoctrinated that no amount of reasoning or facts presented will penetrate to awaken them from their bigoted stupor. They view the world from an upside down perspective that has been carefully taught.

The work of fundamental transformation takes on many shapes and forms…this is but one of them. The damage to our nation will be great if we allow this insanity to continue. The majority of Americans, including police officers, are not racist. That radical minority that stirs up emotions based on lies, as we’ve seen in these recent cases, will dismiss this position as fantasy or the ravings of someone delusional. Those fighting for freedom and sanity for all in America, for the very soul of America,and against fundamental transformation can take consolation in the following quote:

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
