The Oathkeepers descend upon Ferguson, Missouri probably hoping to murder black people

The Oathkeepers, or more accurately Oathbreakers, have invaded Ferguson, Missouri. Four heavily armed members of the militia say they are in Ferguson to protect Alex Jones Infowars "reporters". The four whiter-than-white tactically loaded to bear militia members marched around the streets of Ferguson right after Ferguson Police engaged in a "Shoot-Out" with Tyrone Harris on the one year anniversary of Michael Brown's murder.

After Michael Brown's murder by Darren Wilson, when black people began to assemble and protest, the Ferguson Police Department decided to greet those initial protests with Overhwelming Force. All legitimate complaints about excessive force, ticky-tack violations, and unconstitutional Stop & Frisk met a literal wall of riot shields and machine guns mounted on military surplus vehicles.

Of course, the complaints of the protesters were vindicated by the Department of Justice Report on the shoddy Police practices of the Ferguson PD which was based on the revenue generating Broken Windows Theory which treats every Person of Color as a potential criminal.

The Oathkeepers, Oathbreakers, were ostensibly founded to protect the American People from the excesses of the Government predicated on their Manifesto which includes the staunch "Not on Our Watch" Motto but, in reality they are a group of lily white Reactionary Conservatives who can be counted upon to support Right-Wing law breakers (e.g. Cliven Bundy) but, absolutely support the violent use of Government power against what they perceive as left-wing agitation (Occupy Wall Street and Ferguson last year after Michael Brown's murder.)

Much like their sister organizations the Unconstitutional Sheriff's of America, the III Inchers errr, Percenters, and the various unaligned Soverign Citizens, the Oathbreakers represent the Re-rise of the Anti-Government Militia Movement in the United States.

In his seminal 1962, SE Finer, in his seminal 1962 book The Man on Horseback: The Role of the Military in Politics, described the underlying mindset which fuels the Oathbreakers, 

"I find in existence a new and heretofore unknown and dangerous concept that the members of our armed forces owe primary allegiance or loyalty to those who temporarily exercise the authority of the Executive Branch of Government rather than to the country and its constitution which they are sworn to defend." 

No proposition, added General MacArthur, 'could be more dangerous.' On the contrary, it is General MacArthur's view which opens Pandora's Box. The moment the military draw this distinction between nation and the government in power, the begin to invent their own private notion of the national interest, and from this it is only a skip to the constrained substitution of this view for that of the civilian government. ( ibid. pg 22-23)

Finer used a quote from General Douglas MacArthur in 1952, who was in a power struggle with President Harry Truman, which famously led to MacArthur's removal as Commanding General during the Korean Conflict.

Like most of the Reactionary Conservatives who make up the American Right today the Oathbreakers are a lily white group who have convinced themselves that the only legitimate government is one which hews closely to their "understanding" and interpretation of the Holy Constitution.

The DOJ shouldn't have released the Ferguson Report (Updated)

"Your sense of freedom is as pale as your skin,"- Tchéky Karyo (as Major Jean Villeneuve) in the 2000 Mel Gibson movie The SlaveOwner... err, The Patriot

The reason the Department of Justice and Attorney General Eric Holder should not have released the Report on Ferguson, MO is because it upset the narrative that's been sold to the American People; that it doesn't matter who you are, everyone in America is treated the same and has a fair shot.

I know many Officers, including several I work with who wished to treat the Michael Brown shooting as a singular event, which occurred ex nihilo, ignoring the years long mistreatment of the black community by the Ferguson Police Officers.

The behavior of the Officers in the DOJ report is shameful and brings dishonor upon all Police Officers for the criminal actions by those Officers and their superiors, who endorsed and encouraged said behavior.

That the FPD was used as a revenue generating arm of the local government is not surprising but, the collective shrug from conservatives is telling. The vast majority of conservatives treated the DOJ report with indifference because they agree with the way Ferguson treated minorities. They agree with using Police to nickel-and-dime the local residents as a way of filling budget gaps.

Conservatives agree with treating black people as guilty until proved innocent and with detaining, citing and fining them for the crime of Living While Black.

Of course some scumbag went and shot two Police Officers, and thus the focus is shifted, from the abuses of the Local Government and Ferguson Police so the System can avoid accountablility.

Conservatives leapt upon the shooting because right-wingers use people to advance their inhuman system of despicable evil, and rolled out the NYPD playbook of blaming the shooting of the Officers on Eric Holder, Al Sharpton, and the President. And thererfore, the Right-Wing Internet Fart Bubble all got on board and blamed the Protestors. Thus, allowing the substance of the Department of Justice Report to slide into the recesses of the internet memory hole.

A suspect has been arrested, apparently admitted to the shooting, and has been charged. But, not with attempted murder because the suspect wasn't shooting at the Cops, who were hit at a range of 125 yards. Even Darren Wilson's Defense Attorney, St. Louis County Prosecutor Bob McCulloch was forced to admit the evidence did not support attempted murder charges as the suspect was charged with several lesser offenses.

Of course, this hasn't stopped the bleatings of the Right-Wing internet echo chamber which exists only to regurgitate each others incestuous farts.

As always the key is to ignore the bleatings of conservatives, who never add anything substantive to American Politics but, merely pout, flop, and wail like raw nippled chicken-little/chicken-hawks.

Conservative do naught but sow discontent, afflict the afflicted, comfort the comfortable and undermine the 99%. That's what conservatives do, that is the core essence of Conservatism today.

And we see once again, in the response to the abuses in Ferguson, that Conservatives agree with using the awesome power of Government to harass, impoverish, detain, arrest, and imprison minorities because Conservatives believe 98% of Black and Brown people are criminals.

Missouri Lt. Gov Pete Kinder retreated into right-wing meta-bigotry that Democrats are the real racists, "There is more racism in the Justice Department than there is in anywhere I see in the St. Louis area. It is the left. It is the Eric Holder and Obama-left and their minions who are obsessed with race, while the rest of us are moving on beyond it." AG Eric Holder was correct years ago when he noted Americans are cowards when it comes to talking about Race.

The NYPD, Broken Windows, Collars for Dollars and Control of the Poor

Continuing the topic of Police Departments the discussion now focuses on what is the role of Police Departments have in society.

Contrary to popular belief and the motto's stenciled on squad cars, Police Departments were not created to 'Serve & Protect' and keep the peace but, to exert control over the poor and working class. The creation of the Modern Police Force in the United States coincided with increases in immigration, the Industrial Revolution, and the end of Slavery. As such Police Departments were tasked by the Ruling elite to keep the American Working Class, immigrants and minorities in check.

The 1% actually sees only two legitimate "Constitutional" Roles for the US Government, a military for expanding and opening up Foreign Shores for exploitation and the quelling of Domestic Dissent and control of the Poor by the Police

As the work slow down by the New York Brats in Blue has shown not much changed on the home front.

Apparently, the NYPD thinks their slow down is helping them win in their Political Struggle against Mayor Bill de Blasio. As a Police Officer I'm disappointed by their acknowledgement their arrests, notices to appear and citations were not to 'Serve & Protect' but, for the purpose of revenue collection and social control.

It's more than a tacit admission, it's a bold statement the Broken Windows Policing doesn't reduce serious crime but, transforms Police Officers into revenue streams.

The Broken Windows theory, a hypothesis first appearing in 1982 that clamping down small crimes will help keep down more serious crime, while compelling is not supported by the evidence of the last 30 years.

Broken Windows, though it still has its' adherents (namely Rudy Giuliani), has been undercut by an actual analysis of the data. Jens Ludwig and Bernard Harcourt in their 2006 thesis Broken Windows: New Evidence for New York City and a Five City Social Experiment posited the "Broken Yankees Hypothesis" wherein the number of NYC homicides decreases with the increase in Yankees Championships.

Additionally, the elimination if Lead in gasoline has been credibly linked to an overall decrease in crime.

But, that's the point, whether or not the rank and file of New York's Whiniest know it, they weren't created to 'Serve & Protect' and modern police practices are designed as a powerful social control to keep the established Plutocratic Hierarchy in place.

And the Working Classes in their place.

Review the iconic image from Occupy UC Davis, where non-violent "criminals" were treated savagely but, Wall Street criminals guilty of far worse offenses not only avoided this treatment but arrest and prosecution almost entirely,

Now, recall the overall crackdown on Occupy Wall Street and other sister demonstrators by Police Departments Nationwide was cheered and supported by 100% of conservatives. While later, 100% of conservatives supported recalcitrant lawbreaker Cliven Bundy and his army of insurrectionists with their plans to murder Law Enforcement Officers and use women and children as human shields, while Bundy and his other Cattle Barons annex US land for their profit.

In Joseph Wambaugh's first novel, The New Centurions, we follow 3 titular centurions conducting police work in the Civil Rights era in Los Angeles. As demonstrated by several chapters in Wambaugh's novel, the cops spend most of their time gleefully busting homosexuals and prostitutes as part of Vice Squads.

Wambaugh's later works especially The Blue Knight better captured the ennui of Police Officers but, Centurions while honestly reflecting the day-to-day grind of police work, is rife with Reactionary themes, including the "liberal" Officer getting shot mid-way through the book and being killed in the Watts Riots because he's too soft and Wambaugh's most racist 'I don't see black or white just assholes' speech presented by a "black" Officer.

But, another theme running throughout Centurions, is the belief in an early form of "Broken Windows",

"But today the 'dont's' are dying or being murdered in the name of freedom and we policemen can't save them. Once the people become accustomed to the death of a 'don't', well then, the other 'dont's' die much easier. Usually all the vice laws die first because people are generally vice-ridden anyway. Then the ordinary misdemeanors and some felonies become unenforceable until freedom prevails." - The New Centurions, pg. 86

The problem is once theories like, Broken Windows, Stop & Frisk, and the War on Drugs become conventional wisdom, accepted and entrenched in organizations as Reactionary as Police Departments they are difficult to dislodge.

The post Mike Brown death response by the Ferguson Police was the at least as egregious as Brown's killing. Faced with discontent over the situation the response was the force. It was a typical Police response, when faced with push back and perceived challenges to authority.

But, once you have gone with the full forceful response there are no other options than to further ratchet up force until the situation spirals out of your control.

But, well before the August 2014 killing of Mike Brown, the people of Ferguson have complained that like many poor neighborhoods they are faced with constant harassment and mistreatment by the Police as small infractions and petty violations are punished by fines, fees and costs.

And, once again, therein lies the real reason Police Departments were created for in the first place; Control.

Under the guise of Law & Order, poor and working class people are exposed to constant harassment, "Collars for Dollars", and criminalization for infractions which really aren't crimes. Because it controls them.

Will Justice denied in Ferguson and Fox News Propaganda lead to an all-out shooting war with Police? (Right-Wing Domestic Terrorism Alert)

The miscarriage of justice in Ferguson, Missouri and Staten Island could be the sparks of a new Police/Race War in the United States.

The Two Brooklyn Police Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, who were murdered by a criminal who broadcast his intentions just after shooting his ex-girlfriend in Baltimore, have sparked a furious backlash amongst conservatives.

The NYPD and Police Unions are apparently blaming NY Mayor Bill DeBlasio, Faux News and the right-wing on-line community also place the blame on Attorney General Eric Holder and President Barack Obama. The spectre of anti-police rhetoric by liberals is also listed as the cause of the officers deaths.

It's never the wrong time to punch-a-hippie and Blame the Left for everything wrong in America.

Of course, that there was actually rampant Prosecutorial Misconduct in Ferguson by Bob McCulloch and his assistants can never be the cause, because liberals.

All killings off citizens by their goverment i.e. the state need to be investigated thoroughly by an unbiased agency. That clearly did not happen in Ferguson, where the SA’s office provided instructions to the grand jurors in direct contradiction with USSC ruling in Tennesse v. Garner (1985) and allowed the fabrictions of a lying crazy woman, Witness 40, to be introduced as "evidence".

But, don't expect Faux News to try and bring calm to this situation. This ghoulish race-baiting organization exists to gin up hatred and blame President Obama for everything. The more violence and discontent which embroils the Nation the better Faux News likes it.

It’s especially ironic or cruelly hypocritical for Faux to blame Mayor De Blasio as one of their employees Mike Huckabee, while as Arkansas Governor personally went out of his way to free a man Maurice Clemmons, who murdered 4 Seattle Officers.

Of course, when the right-wing domestic terrorists Jerad and Amanda Miller, who had demonstrable ties to the Cliven Bundy Insurrection, murdered two Las Vegas Police Officers and another man, the Conservatives response was to blame President Obama.

But, focusing your energies on rebutting or calling out the right-wing lies is a sysphiean task, for conservatives are wimps who cry and squeal like 2 year old children denied candy when their lies aren't accepted.

The real despicable truth of the deaths of the Police Officers is conservatives will shamelessly use their deaths to advance their disgusting agenda. Conservatism is an edifice built upon the corpses. A Flordia LEO, Charles Kondek was also murdered over the weekend but, don't expect Right-Wingers to know his name because their I Blame Obama Facebook feeds haven't cycled around to them yet.

Republicans use the dead to advance their agenda of Oppression, Intolerance and Adulation of the Rich and that is exactly what is happening now.

Update:
The sudden swell of concern for Police Officers by conservatives is so much bullshit. Right-Wingers only support LEOs if those Officers are killing unarmed minorities or beating up and pepper spraying peaceful leftist protestors.

Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists have murdered Police Officers at an alarming and increasing rate since President Barack Obama took office.

Just don't expect the murderous attacks by Right-Wingers on Police Officers to ever be broadcast by Mainstream Conservative Media. The job of the Media is to always make Right-Wing arguments seem reasonable and to hide the flaws and evil intentions of Conservatives at every opportunity.

Conservatism is Terrorism.

Conservatives love when Cops kill Black People

In the aftermath of the injustice in St. Louis County, the riots and protests are going to obscure the macro and micro evils the murder of Mike Brown by Darren Wilson have re-illustrated.

After Prosectuor Robert P. McCulloch declared there would be no indictment conservatives gleefully took to every media platform they infest to trumpet their unabashed glee, celebrating, as is their wont, the killing of a minority.

Once again we have confirmation of the despicable nature of conservatives. Right-wingers only support Law Enforcement Agencies and Officers when those agents are conducting one of three activites; undermining Leftist Protests, destroying Unions, and killing or incarcerating black men.

Recall that during Cliven Bundy Insurrection, Conservatives flocked to the area to shoot and kill Law Enforcement Officers. Cop Killer Jerad Miller spent 4 days at Bundy's Camp. Conservative Domestic Terror Groups detailed their plans to shot at Officers while hiding behind women and children.

Conservatives don't support the Rule of Law unless that Law is being used to murder minorities or oppress liberals.

For instance the recent spate of Marijuana legislation laws being passed around the country would seem to indicate the pot is not a dangerous drug. But, in this case conservatives found comfort in an old canard, first proferred by William Randolph Hearst, Reefer Madness. Brown had smoked cannabis! Proof that Brown was high meant Wilson's non-lethal attempts were ineffectual! Cannabis is only a dangerous drug when blacks smoke it.

Of course, much of the right-wing defense of Darren Wilson was based on outright fabrications. Jim Hoft, the St. Louis based dumbest man on the internet hyped the "Orbital-eye socket blowout" injury Wilson supposedly suffered. Hoft and other conservatives bloggers posted and reposted a CAT-Scan which showed the broken eyesocket. It was proven the images used by conservatives bloggers was not of Wilson but taken from a University of Iowa medical textbook. Of course, this didn't dissuade the right-wing liars as they doubled-down on their lies and claimed it was illustrative of the injury Wilson suffered.

But, the real damage had been done because the Lie was in the conservative bloodstream and despite all refutations and evidence against conservatives would continue to parrot that Brown had savagely (purposeful word choice) beaten Wilson.

Now, with the Grand Jury decision we got actual photo evidence of Wilson. He suffered no injuries. His photos showed nothing more than a lip herpe and a popped zit on his right cheek.

Conservatives also hyped Brown's size as justification, Faux News going so far as to claim Brown could not be considered unarmed because of his height and weight. But, what was never mentioned was that Darren Wilson is no tiny wisp. But, while Wilson is 6'4 and 225+, he is a soft doughy disgrace.

This of course allowed Darren Wilson, that squishy slack-jawed wimp, to play up the scary black man defense. Brown despite being unarmed became the Hulk.

Wilson's Grand Jury Testimony, again designed by Prosecutor McCulloch to allow Wilson's "version of events" to be promulgated without cross examination, was a puerile collection of childish analogies.

Grabbing Brown was like a "5 year old holding onto Hulk Hogan", Brown was shrugging off the effects of the bullets and "looked like he was bulking up to run through the shots", while his face was "the most instense aggressive face" and "it looks like a demon". So pathetic was Wilson's testimony it was only to be outdone by the bullshit diary of "witness 40" which was submitted along with all the other mass of lies in order to confuse the Grand Jurors into coming back with no indictment.

It's been pointed out that Prosecutor Robert McCulloch did a fanastic job as the Defense Attorney of Darren Wilson and McCulloch may have been working out his own demons with this case. His father was a Police Officer who was murdered in the line of duty by a black man, while 4 other close family members have worked as Police Officers in St. Louis.

But, McCullochs goals are likely larger. He probably wants to be Attorney General for Missouri and aiding Wilson in escaping trial is a big shout out to white Missourians that they have a friend in McCulloch against the Demon-faced scary black man.

So... Wilson probably got away with murder. The physical evidence doesn't match with Wilson's testimony. The claim about the initial encounter and how exactly Brown "attacked" Wilson, the idea he spotted the cigarellos in Wilson's hand, why did Wilson try and present his weapon while seated in the SUV, the chase and the four times Wilson fired at Brown all of these incidents have enough inconsistencies to warrant further investigation. Nonetheless, I'm not going to guess at how the incident went down and we will never know the truth but, Wilson's entire testimony was crafted to make everyone believe he was in fear for his life.

And Wilson may have feared for his life in the end. But, in the end, Conservatives got what they wanted; freedom for a white cop who killed a black teenager.
