The anti-police, negative narrative encourages public feedback to be consistently negative. Internal affairs complaints and inflammatory media coverage is their preferred method.
This weekend's spate of radical Islamic terrorism-driven bombings and a stabbing spree underscore one presidential candidate's perpetual warning that America is under attack. He has consistently issued a call to arms against radical islamic terrorism while his opponent quibbles over offending mass murderers.
Current police reform mania goes deeper than liberal allegations of bias and libertarian mistrust of armed authority. Objective police supporters can at least have civil discourse with these ideologies.
Rhetorically beating White people, good, bad and in-between, over the head about American slavery ( to the convenient exclusion of other nations and individual's sins ) doesn't undo the past nor uplift the present. It does, however, provide invaluable context for current contempt some progressives have for American Blacks.
Public safety is in a dangerous state of flux. Departments are told, by pro crime activists, limitation lobby lawyers and federal judges, that felony suspects now enjoy limited diplomatic immunity. Under these rules of engagement, the subject must be addressed in genteel terms, lest his feelings be hurt.
The early 21st century may well be called, ” the era when police became obsolete. ” A veteran officer told me once that police were obsolete. He arrived at this conclusion after seeing the profession face unprecedented scrutiny.
As someone who stands during the Pledge of Allegiance (raised by a Jim Crow vintage grandmother who always stood on arthritic knees and nerve-damaged feet when it played on TV ), I'm not angered by NFL player Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand during this national tradition.
Raze-ism is my term for the homicidal illogic of urban predators. Raze-ism has two features, 1. Sudden volcanic rage and 2. Inability to accept responsibility for criminal conduct. The raze-ist sees himself as perpetually justified. This perpetual justification is impervious to bi-partisan bribery ( social programs ).
No American group has the market cornered on unfair treatment. I type this as an American raised in the South and stand by my statement. That said, our police officers are a US group mistreated like no other. The blue ( and other colors ) of their uniforms places them in a unique minority status.
My first impression about this Baltimore County case was it seemed scripted. By scripted, I mean it reads like a zealot, determined to spark urban civil war against police, intentionally brandished (and used!) a shotgun against tactical officers with her five year positioned in the line of any return fire. Insanity is a conclusion many will draw, while others, myself included, offer another theory.
I'm VERY somber about the ambush of Baton Rouge officers by Gavin Long and lives lost. Legitimate law enforcement reformers and police supporters must speak in one voice that the solution to alleged bias can't be ambushes and holding a profession hostage.
Last week, Jerman Neveaux, a 19 year old Black man shot and killed David Michel, a White Jefferson Parish sheriffs deputy. Jefferson Parish is minutes away from New Orleans and light years different in terms of law enforcement and generally, civility.
Faced with a University of Illinois arena surrounded by angry protesters, while hundreds more demonstrators infiltrated it, the Trump campaign cancelled his appearance.
National media has been airing dash cam footage of an officer literally dodging a bullet suddenly fired by a driver he'd stopped. It underscores the police admonition, "there's no such thing as a routine traffic stop."
Petitioning West Virginia Governor
To remove the name of the late Senator and Ku Klux Klan member Robert Byrd from the public space, road ways and government buildings (including schools).
Sign Petition
New Orleans hostages and honest policy makers should look to British police privatization-with apologies to PANO (the Police Association of New Orleans)-and American citizen on patrol models like Detroit Street Watchers and the Guardian Angels
for relief from shrinking NOPD staff and growing violent crime. Outsourced police services and dedicated citizens on patrol can take the pressure off of the few officers left on the force- at least until the current mayor leaves office.
"Just like some Africans colluded with willing Arabs and Europeans to sell their brethren, so New Orleans majority Black city council plots with White tourism brokers to profit off the slave trade. To say this is OBSCENE is being kind. This Slave Museum Ship Sellout proves how un-liberal and un-liberating modern liberalism has become! In the spirit of the Africans, American Blacks and righteous Whites who opposed slavery, I must now oppose this obscene plan to profit from human misery. " Cap Black, Anti Crime Activist.
