The Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 44: What if it wasn't Tyreek Hill? Republicans would have loved to seen him killed.

Miami-Dade Police Officer tries to make Dolphins
WR Tryeek Hill inactive to win his Fan Duel Parlay
No doubt on the Leon Muck hellsite of X-Twitter the Just Comply Guys are back at it telling black people they deserve mistreatment up to and including extrajudicial murder at the hands of the Police because no black person, no matter how rich or famous has any rights, the Police or Justice System is bound to recognize.  To Republicans every black person is a priori guilty of something and therefore they deserve whatever happens to them. 

On NFL Opening Sunday, Tyreek Hill was stopped for speeding as he went to play in the Dolphins home opener.  When Hill told the Officer just "Give me my ticket, bro, so I can go, I'm gonna be late. Do what you gotta do," this did not sit well with the Miami-Dade Biker Cops, who within one minute of conducting the traffic stop, escalated the situation out of control, yanked Hill out of the car onto the pavement, where they put a knee on his back.  Hill was paraded to the curb, thrown to the ground when he didn't sit fast enough, handcuffed, and was subject to some really unprofessional wise ass comments about his knee surgery,

"What a coincidence.  Did you have surgery on your ears when we told you to put the window down?"

Miami Dolphins superstar wideout Tyreek Hill was treated the way Republicans and white people want to treat every Blackman in America; with maximum force and no regard of rights, liberties, or the vaunted due process they pay lip service too.

His real crime?  The original sin of Unforgivable Blackness.  Of course, the hispanic officers were not happy that they were being called out for participating in the Systematic Racist American Justice system, 

"I'm just being a Black man, that's it," Hill called out. "I'm just being Black in America."

"We're dark, too, brother," one officer replied. "We're people of color, too. Don't play like that's special."

Brother! 

As you read the encounter so many things point to the Miami-Dade Officers out of control anger at Hill, when he dismissed them with 'just give me the ticket I gotta go' that snapped whatever slender reed of self-control the Officers had, they wanted the window down to visibly search for something anything they could see to arrest him, they wanted the window down so they could smell for the faintest wiff of canabis, they wanted him out of the car to demonstrate their authority.  As other Dolphin players saw this they approached arms raised because black men know how trigger happy Police in America are towards black men.  Even at 10 am on a Sunday morning.  Hill was kept almost half-an-hour until his rich powerful agent Drew Rosenhaus arrived on scene.  Hill never even played the "Do you know who I am?" card.  

Stephen Ross, the billionaire owner of the Dolphins is a fanatical supporter of senile traitor Trump, I'm certain if Hill had been killed by the Officers that day he'd be first in line to receive compensation for the value of his lost property, just like back in the old days.

Recall that under Florida Tyrant Little Boots DeSantis police officers from across the country can come down to Florida, no questions asked, to pick up policing again.  Which is why the Fascist Police Union (in Florida they are euphemistically called South Florida Benevolent Police Association) went on to declare Hill was being uncooperative.

What if it wasn't Tyreek Hill?  Well, everyone knows there'd be another Police "involved" killing of a black man...

Honk to Unmask the Kids

The official Republican position on Masks is: they do incalculable harm to children both physically and developmentally and are Tyranny.  Books, too.  The Republican position on guns and school shootings is dead children is the price of freedom.

I'm not going to relitigate the school shooting debate; We, the People lost that one.  The NRA, gun manufacturers and unrestricted gun violence advocates were victorious.  More guns is always the answer...

There were several protests of Schools and school districts Friday by rich white people.  Arriving in their $75,000 vehicles and wearing the ubiquitous expensive puffy 3/4 length jackets gaggles of entitled white women demand you Honk to Unmask the kids... 

Some of the school kids on the bus unimpressed by the Murder of Karens proceeded to "flip off the grown-ups in unison" as they passed by the protest.  Back in my day, we would've mooned them.

These actions would seem to be hypocritical from the crowd which always intones Just Follow the Rules until you understand that conservatives firmly believe rules don't apply to them.  Rules and Laws and Police exist to protect them and keep The Other in check.
This dynamic plays out everyday, in hundreds of cities and towns, and thousands of interactions. 

The entire controversy over Masks is a giant explosion of the pouting privileged taking umbrage at the effrontery of having to follow rules they! don't! want! too! follow!

The Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 9: Damn! They're very slowly getting away!

They're... very... slowly... getting... away!

So, a Tucson Police Officer posted on an off-duty assignment at a Walmart is going to be terminated for shooting a 61-year old wheel-chair bound shoplifter. 

But, but, but! The dastardly shoplifter was committing a crime (he had reportedly stolen a toolbox) and allegedly brandished a knife at the Officer when asked to provide proof of payment.  Clearly, this was a "criminal" with a dangerous weapon, issuing threats, and entering another store with innocent people around.  So why is the Officer not being lauded for stopping a person who refused to follow lawful orders?

First, understand the "just comply" responders are talking about those people complying with Police, conservatives are special snowflakes who can flout law enforcement at will, up to and including, beating Officers who are trying to stop Insurrectionists storming the U.S. Capitol.

Second, this is a Police Department policy failure.  Off-duty Officers shouldn't be working as mall cops.  Carrying his duty weapon?  Call for an officer to respond and identify the man.  Take pictures of the man.  Follow him from more than 5 feet away.  Or... pump 9 rounds into a guy in a wheel-chair.

Third, this is nothing more than a misdemeanor retail theft.  Who the fuck fucking cares?  A fucking toolbox.  But, this is America... and the Gun is the Final Arbiter of the Law.

It's also part of the Dave Grossman Police Officer Training mantra;  Use more Violence. Murder! Kill! Kill!  Kill!  If you think I'm being hyperbolic, I'm not;  Grossman self-titled his training method as KilLOLogy

Grossman, of course, is highly deceitful about his training claiming his Warrior Training (Grossman changed it to "Sheepdogs" in the last few years) is about saving lives.  The inversion of reality through language is a classic Police technique.  Like when an Officer writes in his report 'he assisted a person to the ground' instead of writing he threw the guy down. 

What Grossman's grotesque training actually does is create fear-driven murder drones over-eager to drop the hammer and kill "civilians" because of their subjective fear which has been trained into them.  The damage the despicable Grossman has done to Law Enforcement is going to take a generation to repair. 

Of course, here in Illinois we have a spate of mob grab mass thefts of high end merchandise.  Now, the thefts themselves are being conducted by black people but, the question is who is funding this and who is the end buyer?  Clearly, the thieves are not selling the Louis Vuitton bags in the alleyways of the Mag Mile.  So where are they ending up?

In the meantime, continue to expect Police Officers to gun down Americans.
