It’s about time for the adults to step forward and take charge. We’ve got too many highly emotional people running their mouth about perceived racism lurking in the shadows like the boogieman.
“Oakland - For your Friday enjoyment, a delightful mix of mistake, moral panic, and virtue-signaling by a left-wing politician willing to go any lengths, no matter how stupid and pandering, to prove how woke she is.
It started a few days ago with a report of nooses found hanging from a tree in a park in Oakland. The city was stunned. Had some white supremacist chosen to lash out amid the protests over George Floyd’s killing by displaying a notorious symbol of lynching’s? The matter had to be investigated by the FBI, said the Mayor. “
Nah, turns out these were ropes used by kids to swing on. An unidentified black male said he made them, they were not nooses, just swings. Oops.
Next up, the outrageous case of Bubba Wallace, NASCAR driver. He protested the flying of the Confederate flag at NASCAR events and won. He reported a noose was found in his garage at the track. This sparked widespread universal outrage and it results in NASCAR drivers walking behind Wallace to show their support. Only one problem, the FBI determined it was a garage door pull and it had been up since at least last year, long before Bubba arrived. Oops.
So now the FBI is called on to investigate playground swings and garage door pull ropes, ok, it’s not like they got anything better to do, right? Well, I guess it could have been worse, Jussy Smollet could have walked into it and hurt himself.
WASHINGTON - Tensions were high in front of the White House Monday night after Black Lives Matter protesters worked to remove the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square. But, protestors weren’t successful. The statue, like a giant stone wall, proved to be too much for them to topple.
The Supreme Court created qualified immunity in 1967, describing it as a modest exception for public officials who had acted in “good faith” and believed that their conduct was authorized by law.
and galvanized a number of militant groups with varying agendas. That has contributed to the mob violence in a half dozen large cities. The City of Seattle has lost control over it’s capitol hill region to anarchists while the mayor and governor dither, unsure what to do. In San Francisco demonstrators torn down the statue of Francis Scott Key in Golden Gate Park in full view of police who were ordered not to intervene by the mayor. Other old historical monuments are being desecrated under the pretext of ridding ourselves of racism. A climate likely to start mob violence now spreads from coast to coast fueled by allegations of police misconduct.
As a result, Congress is under pressure to prevent further rioting and looting. The democrat controlled Congress views removing the qualified immunity protection as a way of appeasing the various protest groups that now allege systemic racism by law enforcement against black defendants, citing the case of George Floyd. Congress is discussing how to remove this layer of protection from law enforcement nationwide.
country of over 350,000,000 citizens. Every year police can expect over 280,000,000 9-1-1 calls. Out of that number, there are millions more contacts that are self-initiated by police. That represents many opportunities for something to go terribly wrong and occasionally it does.
last 5 years, 24% involved black males suspects. This percentage is suspiciously overrepresented because blacks comprise only 13% of the US population. Many progressive groups cite this as clear evidence of systemic racism in law enforcement.
percent of those arrests. Black or African American juveniles comprised 52.0 percent of all juveniles arrested for violent crimes. Therefore the 25% number of shooting deaths of blacks is not overrepresented at all, but is actually under represented!
now know it and that starts with discrediting police within our community. It’s worth repeating, law enforcement can’t do their job without our community support. To change our government the American people must be convinced that law enforcement [IS] the problem and that all the rioting and looting is a justifiable response to their systemic racism. In other words, the police made them burn, loot and riot. A classic defense position among narcissistic criminals.
The Mayor called this just a silly block party, nothing to be concerned about. She assured everyone there was no need for police to move in and move the occupation force out. Now there has been a shooting and a homicide inside the compound of rainbows and unicorns. At first the mob would not let police in to tend to the victim. That was brilliant.
