Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 45: Southern View Police Chief Roy Maki is a worried about BLACKS "a RIOT/LOOTING" in response to the death of Sonya Massey

Former Sangamon Sheriff's Deputy Sean Grayson was charged with 1st Degree Murder for the unlawful killing of Sonya Massey.  

In the early morning of July 6th, Sonya Massey was shot to death inside her unincorporated Springfield home after she had called the police for a possible intruder.  The family has viewed the body camera footage but, as far as I know nothing has been released to the press or been improperly leaked.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker reacted to the charges.

"I am enraged that another innocent Black woman had her life taken from her at the hands of a police officer," Pritzker said. "I'm grateful to the Springfield State's Attorney's office for bringing the appropriate charges in this case. May Sonya Massey's memory be a blessing, and may it fuel our work to build a system of justice in this country that truly protects all of its citizens."

In case you didn't know members of The Thin Blue Line don't like Governor Pritzker because he doesn't support them...

In response, the Police Chief of Southern View, Illinois Roy Maki released this ridiculous SAFETY ALERT to his constituents.  Because???  Because black people of course...  

Have you ever heard of Southern View, Illinois?  I had not.  It is a little hamlet of 1600 people abutting Springfield, Illinois at the intersection of 55 and 72.  It's just north of the Illinois State Police recruit Academy.

Sheriff Maki is greatly a-feared of "a RIOT/LOOTING and DESTRUCTION of PROPERTY" from the "Shooting of the Female subject".  First, of all this isn't the Queen's English, no one in America is a "subject".  Victim is the correct title but why is Shooting and Female capitalized?  But, despite placing his phone number for any questions the Sheriff's Office has not responded to press questions of why he felt it necessary to respond to said questions.  I'm reminded when the Cook County Sheriff's Intel Division released a memo about the 30,000 strong ANTIFA army that was going to descend upon Gettysburg for the 4th of July in 2020.

And why would there be RIOT/LOOTING despite all protests being peaceful at this point thus far and that Southern View may not even be involved?  Why because black people of course... 

The Springfield City Council wasn't to pleased with Chief Maki's ridiculous letter,

“I think it was very offensive and unprofessional to say we’re going to be looting and rioting businesses,” said Springfield Alderwoman Lakeisha Purchase. She and fellow city council member Shawn Gregory were at the Wednesday protest to show support for the family and community. She said that there had been no disruption from any of the protests.

Lakeisha?  Well, as Chief Maki would no doubt note, with a name like that she's black and you know how those people are, with the RIOT/LOOTING at all.  No matter how far we've come it always comes back to this; it's an unforgivable crime in this country to be black and no matter what mistreatment, injustice, or extrajudicial killing you face, for some White People it's always 1964 and you people are protesting wrong and just obey the police.

The Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 21: Shooting the (Grand) Rapids, death by Cop

Big Toad Barr's Wild Ride

Lester Holt: Can we talk about the big lie?
Bill Barr: Which one is that?
LH: Well you write about the big lie being black live matter...
BB: Yeah [smirks]
LH: What did you mean by that?
BB: Well Black Lives Matter is based on the premise that the main threat to black welfare in the inner city are out of control police force that gratuitously kill African Americans and that's simply not borne out by the facts. - From an interview of the odious toad Bill Barr by Lester Holt, as the Corporate Media again helps to polish despicable conservative turds and allow a flagrant criminal to re-enter polite society while hawking his book about the Trump White House.

I suppose we had gone too long without an extrajudicial killing of a person of color.  Often Officers will tell me, as I express dismay at these incidents, 'Yeah well police kill far more white people than black.' And I'm not sure how to tell them that this is not a good argument other than to reply like Chidi in The Good Place,  

"Okay. But That's Worse. You, You Do Get How That's Worse, Right?"

And watch them brush off such sarcastic retorts. Why? Well, I don't know but, Police in the United States kill far too many people for any claims by such a noxious criminal asshole like Bill Barr to be taken seriously (of course he is taken seriously by the Corporate Media). In fact, violence and death at the hands of the Police is so pervasive Police and the Federal Government routinely undercount the true number. A study found that over 31,000 people died from Police encounters, but only 14,000 were classified as such;

More than half of all police killings since 1980 do not appear in official government data, according to an explosive new study in The Lancet, a top medical journal. The researchers reveal how “systemic misclassification” in the federal database that tracks the causes of death in America has produced, over four decades, an undercount of more than 17,000 deaths at the hands of police. The proportion of undercounted police killings of Black Americans is even more extreme, the research shows, rising to 60 percent.

So, an unidentified Officer in Grand Rapids, Michigan shot and killed Congolese refugee Patrick Lyoya around 8am on April 4th. Predictably, the incident arises from a traffic stop for improper registration and then escalated out of control ending with the unnamed Officer shooting Lyoya in the back of the head while on top of him.

Now, here's where the bad faith actors will get involved. First off, there's going to be the subjective fear for my life defense. It's impossible to disprove the Officer wasn't scared therefore his killing of Lyoya is justified. Secondly, there is going to be the weapons involved defense. Call it the Kyle Rittenhouse Defense; i.e. there's a gun involved therefore I am afraid the "Criminal" will take the gun from me and kill me with my own gun; ergo we are back to subjective fear for your life defense. Third, every white rightwing asshole including those who justify the January 6th violence against Police, will declare with finality Lyoya should just have complied. And lastly, the video evidence is going to be parsed and dissected frame-by-frame for the simple fact that individual still images from the videos can then be presented in a way to present a wholly different picture as opposed to what went down in real time.

Decades ago Police Departments began crafting these Use-of-Force continuums to create justification of violence against people as began to point out police violence is a problem. To justify the extrajudicial killing of Lyoya. It will be something like this:

1. Lyoya get out of the car (escalation).
2. Lyoya ignores "commands" to get back in the car (defiance).
3. Lyoya runs from the scene (presumption of guilt).
4. Lyoya grabs the taser and ignores commands to drop the taser (active "aggressor")
5. Lyoya continues to "fight" the Officer, they go to the ground, the force of Lyoya's fighting is such that it deactivates the Office's body-worn camera (fear for life)

And thus the Arbitrator will be able to reframe the encounter as Lyoya being the aggressor, who is responsible for the escalation of violence and the passive voice of Officer involved shooting will dominate the narrative until voila the official statement is Justified Shooting.

7-10 years ago I would have concluded the Officer would not have faced consequences but, with the increased high profile incidents and despite Bill Barr's mendacious bullshit, I think once the initial investigation is completed charges may be recommended for the still unnamed Officer.

Comorbidities and the Republican response to Covid really undercut the All Lives Matter movement

ALL LIVES MATTER! 

So you support mask mandates?  Wide-spread Vaccination?  Testing?  School, workplace, business vaccine requirements?  And any other mitigation attempts?  Pushaw!  Never! 

It's been 10 years since the phrase and hashtag #BlackLivesMatter entered into the lexicon and widespread use.  It really gained traction in 2014 after the extrajudicial killings of Mike Brown in Ferguson, MO and Eric Garner in Staten Island, NY at the hands of white police officers.  As BLM gained influence (not power mind you) it generated pushback amongst the same cadre of bigots who currently use CRT hysteria to advance white power.  But back in 2015 the counter phrase was #AllLivesMatter.

It was clear when All Lives Matter became widespread on the rightwing internet it was a counter-campaign against Black Lives Matter.  And it never fails how disingenuously created phrases then get wide-spread mass repetition through Corporate Media, who never question the genesis of this bad faith agitprop but, instead help boost it.  By 2020 every twisted red-faced, spittle flecked white asshole couldn't wait to scream All lives matter! (sometimes while trying to shoot people with a bow and arrow)...

But, that was then and this is now.  These days everyone on Faux News, every rightwing on-line edge lord, every conservative decided masks and vaccination are Tyranny!  Instead of All Lives Matter, the rightwing position these days is: Fuck you fatties! DIE!  You're diabetic???  DIE! Immunocompromised? Too bad!

Since Feb 2020, the CDC has tracked over 1,100,000 excessive deaths related to Covid.  Those people would be expected to be alive if the Covid Pandemic had not cut short their lives.  And ALL LIVES MATTER!

Except, of course, that phrase was always hollow and when Lt. Gov Dan Patrick of Texas bluntly stated old people should be willing to die to help keep Trump in power it put the lie to the claim the GOP are the pro-life party.  Rightwing and Republican Covid denialism got far worse since then and their efforts in the courts, at Faux News, in Virginia and Florida have reaped the bitter harvest of over a million dead Americans.

Republicans are always willing to sacrifice other peoples' lives to advance their agenda of intolerance and oppression.  This was shown with their casual warmongering in Afghanistan and Iraq.  But, the pro-plague position during the last two years wherein Republicans are not only willing but, increasingly happy to undercut the United States Government covid mitigation strategies and let Americans die horrendously from Covid is an awful harbinger for the plans Republicans have for millions of Us when they next seize power.

Yet again, Conservatives love when Police Officers kill black people. Philando Casitle edition

Yet, again black Americans are forced to swallow a miscarriage of justice.  There are some unforgivable crimes in America;  Poverty, Immigration, and Blackness.

With the advent of cell phone cameras, the public is seeing over and over again the extrajudicial treatment of black America at the hands (and most often barrel of a gun) of the police.

Philando Castile was murdered last summer in Minnesota for the crime of unforgivable blackness.  The defense attorney ran down the list of excuses conservatives always reach for to justify the murder of a black man,

"We have him ignoring his commands. He’s got a gun. He might be the robber. He’s got marijuana in his car,” Mr. Gray told jurors. “Those are the things in Officer Yanez’s head."

These deplorable lies; Castile looks like a bank robber, the officer smells pot, are trotted out to provide right-wingers cover when they justify murder and to buttress their fascist programming all blacks are criminals.  Because conservatives ardently believe that all blacks are criminals.

But, the deplorable NRA has been silent about this murder.  And this would seem to be a huge error on their part.  This incident has the elements of everything the NRA has warned America.  A perfect case for the NRA to burnish their so-called defense of gun owners rights in the face of government tyranny.  But, the NRA can not muster a defense of Philando Castile and the reason is glaringly obvious.

The NRA, as a staunch conservative group, also believes all black people are criminals and thinks this shooting was just and lawful.  The Second Amendment is not for black people.

Of course, so-called Patriot groups are silent about government injustice as well.

This would seem to be difficult to understand until one realizes the Oathbreakers, III Inchers, Unconstitutional Sheriffs of America, and all other right wing militias don't exist to address government malfeasance but, to act as a paramilitary arm for advancing the fascist agenda of The Republican Party.

Of course, conservatives might trot out Criminal Sheriff David Clarke as proof they don't believe all blacks are criminals, but Clarke (or Ben Carson or Thomas Sowell) is the token right-wingers invoke to provide cover for their rampant racism and conservatives love David Clarke because Clarke trained under Vladimir Putin in Russia to learn how to murder prisoners under his command.

Donald Trump rose to the Presidency by realizing that conservatives have been aching for Republicans to drop the dog-whistle politics and loudly and proudly proclaim outright racism and unvarnished bigotry,

Conservative thinking, such as it is, is a fetid swamp of anger, petulance, racism, and the demand for unequal protection under law.  So, don't expect conservatives to rally to #blacklivesmatter or clamour for Colin Kaepernick any time soon.  Conservatives love when black people are murdered.

Heil Trump! MAGAmericans will be the new people and under MAGA Conservaive Neo-Nazis shall rule

"Hail Trump! Hail Our People! Hail Victory!" Conservative Neo-Nazi Dick B. Spencer declares The Drumpf Reich

In 40 days the Republican Party will begin dismantling the social safety net, eliminating Government, and instituting MAGA across the land. MAGA will replace all other forms of patriotism, governance, and free speech in the country. So what do I mean by MAGA?

No longer will Americans be paid in near worthless federal reserve notes (End The FED!!!), instead MAGA Bux will be available to use in Donald Trump's Food Banks (no Trump Steaks for certain people), or Mike Pence's cultural approved centers (No Hamilton!), or to trade in for vouchers for Paul Ryan's CouponCare or the newly created MAGAcare!

MAGAcare will "quickly" and "efficiently" replace the ACA and the failed policy known as Obamacare. Under MAGAcare, poor Americans will have the option to die quickly but, with out the onerus burden of receiving care under the evil tyranny of Obamacare.

Political Correctness (PC) will be eliminated and will be replaced by Patriotic Correctness (PC). Under the New PC, MAGA Speech will be the only speech code approved by Trump and his inner cabal of Conservative Neo-Nazis and accepted by MAGAmericans. Forms of unacceptable speech shall include criticizing Donald Trump, protesting Republicans, rejecting military control of the Government, watching TV other than Faux News or The Apprentice, reading internet sites unapproved by Breitbart, burning Confederate Flags, and refusing to salute during the new National MAGAnthem, these will be punished by MAGAexecutions.

MAGA Lives Matter will quite naturally replace All Lives Matter as MAGAmericans recognize that only their lives matter. Especially since Director of Homeland Security Sheriff David Clarke will have declared Black Lives Matter are terrorists thus allowing the MAGAparamilitary to unleash peace keeping operations on #blm and all those associated with it. MAGAexecutions will swiftly follow as anyone who supports or identifies with #blm will be automatically be a threat and the MAGA Homeland Security agents will always be in fear for their lives.

The EPA will transition into the MAGAPA, a new federal regulatory body which will ruthlessly track down and eliminate the #NODAPL criminal protesters (more MAGAexecutions), and fast track the pipeline, safeguard the inalienable rights of pollution factories to dump petcoke along the Calumet waterway, mercury (HG) into the Great Lakes, rain down lead dust on nearby towns, and spill any other toxic waste into the air and waterways on their property, which are sometimes erroneously referred to as the commons or America.

The Departments of Education shall henceforth be the Department of MAGAducation and the Department Labor will become the MAGAwork. MAGAducation will focus on the conservative truths about America; how there was no one here in the New World when The White Man arrived and even if there were they weren't strip-mining and deforesting the land so they weren't really using the place. And the new MAGAwork will ensure that all Americans are given the freedom to work for as little as possible, eventually transitioning to free labor in order to achieve 100% employment. MAGAwork will set US free.

The 2nd Amendment shall henceforth be known as MAGAmendment and be the first and last argument, especially when some libtard starts speaking that Old PC garbage and tramples on MAGA speech.

In all seriousness, liberals need to start formulating a plan of action and need to hold the Democratic Party to it. That plan should include all manner of parliamentarian rigamarole, political brinksmanship, and outright chicanery.

Because playing by the norms and rules of the system is a receipe for the furtherance of right-wing fascism. RepublicaNazis began their descent into fascism with Nixon's southern strategy, fully embraced it with the addled Raygun's faux cowboy diplomacy, ignored decorum with the hunting of President Clinton, stole the Presidency in 2000, obstructed and derailed the Government through President Obama's tenure, and are now set to inaugurate the worst Government the world has seen since 1932. All of these have been frowned upon by Democrats as they expected Republicans to uphold some traditions and were reluctant to confront the conservative neo-nazi advance.

As Robert F. Kennedy observed in 1962, "We all agreed in the end that if the Russians were ready to go to nuclear war over Cuba, they were ready to go to nuclear war, and that was that. So we might as well have the showdown then as six months later."

The time for Gentlemanly governance is past. RepublicaNazis have completely abandoned even the semblance of cooperation they will stop at nothing to advance the right-wing dream of Neo-Feudal Wage Slave Nation. The Era of Conservative Neo-Nazi Fascist MAGA is upon us.

Right-wing domestic terrorist kills 2 Iowa Police Officers and conservatives don't care

Unless, someone helps advance the evil conservative agenda they do not count as real Americans. Nor do conservatives honor those who do not hold to right-wing orthodoxy. It matters not if you are a Veteran or Police Officer if you oppose them, conservatives will engage in the politics of personal destruction against you.

Conservatives don't give a shit about Cops. On every issue conservatives are bloodsucking parasites who view people as a means of advancing the right-wing agenda of intolerance, oppression, and the adulation of the rich.

The ambush and execution style murder of two Iowa Police Officers, would seem to fulfill the right-wing rhetoric of Obama's and #BlackLivesMatter War on Cops except the alleged murderer is a Trump-lovin', confederate flag wavin', white power spoutin' red-blooded white american name Scott Michael Greene.

Thus, Faux News and the right-wing internet are silent. This attack on Police doesn't conform to their propaganda, it doesn't advance their agenda, it doesn't aid the conservative slow moving coup d'état; thus it is as if it never happened.

Of course, the murderer was allowed to surrender even after killing two cops in two separate ambush style attacks. Personally, I'm okay with his capture because the Iowa State Police and FBI should be able to garner intel from this killer but, the fact that this Trump supporting cop killer can surrender and not be immediately shot dead after killing two officers will not surprise the black and other minority communities, who are never afforded the opportunity to surrender when unarmed.

As we have seen over and over again, right-wing domestic terrorism is coddled and encouraged in America, especially because the perpetrators are overwhelmingly white males. We have an entire News Organization, large swaths of the internet, and elected Republicans officials espousing armed revolution and the removal President HRC immediately after her winning the election. So, two, or three or more dead Cops killed to advance the right-wing take over of America is a price conservatives are willing to pay and willing to extract.

Police Injustice, the Policing System is working as Designed

Lost amongst the Trump-led GOPdammerung, the Dept of Justice released a depressing report on the state of policing in Baltimore. That report has been coupled with two more Police Shootings of young black males, one in Chicago and one in Milwaukee.

Now, the Milwaukee shooting appears to have been lawful, a "good shoot", but, criminals took advantage of the tensions and engaged in assaults and vandalism using the shooting as a pretext. The Chicago shooting is more complex and does not appear to be a "good shot" at this time.

It appears that young black men need to re-learn the lesson their fathers, uncles, and grandfathers learned;

"You need to understand that there are two gangs in the projects. The police are also a gang but they really have the power. I mean, these n* run around with money and cars, but at any moment the cops can get them off the street. Never, never, never piss off the police." -Sudhir Venkatesh recounts a discussion with "Autry" in Gang Leader for a Day (pg. 239)

The system of Policing in America is working as intended. Modern Police Departments were created during the 19th century to deal with 3 changing factors in America; 1) the growth of cities due to Industrialization, 2) the influx of immigrants from new nations, 3) the end of slavery and the Black exodus. Thus, a system needed to be created to deal with problems that original Sheriff's were not designed to handle; to control, disenfranchise, and ghettoize undesireables. To accomplish this it is not necessary that every Police Officer be racist. It is, in fact, desireable for the majority to be color-blind.

Every shooting is not done by a Bocephus white slave master racist cop but, that's what makes the rigged system work. The system by being generally good and staffed by lawful, honorable people creates a space for a bad element to exist and operate. Humans have a difficult time processing issues related to large, anonymous systems. It's too much. An individual bad actor or department can be identified and dealt with but, the system of control which has been created, and feed for centuries works in the background grinding out victims without being addressed.

Overall, the quality of modern police officers is very high but, that's a lie of statistics. In a Nation of 320 Million any one death is a insignificant blip, but such a calculus is used by those who do not suffer from the system.

Ferguson, Missouri two years ago became a microcosm of the harshness of the system. Michael Brown, got into an altercation at a gas station over a pack of swisher sweets, of which, Darren Wilson was unaware.

The altercation between Wilson and Brown at the door of the squad SUV and into the street without video evidence can never be properly reconstructed and one eye witness account will nver be heard but, right-wingers didn't feel comfortable with the known facts and had to start adding elements that were untrue. Conservatives sites claimed Wilson suffered a broken orbital bone from the "beating" he took and Faux News and the right-wing internet ran with the wholly untrue "diary" of Witness 40 to describe the final interaction and last shots fired at Brown.

But, when the Dept of Justice released the report which showed the Ferguson PD had been transformed from Officers into revenue generators to fill budget gaps that received little fanfare. Police Departments have been monitized over the last few decades as villages and cities have had to deal with declining budgets.

On top of turning Police Officers into tax collectors "Broken Windows" Theory has been in place for years. Broken Windows hypothesized that by cracking down on every minor infraction major crime would be detered. Additionally, "Stop & Frisk" and the War on Drugs turned policing from protect and serve into halt and harass.

Taken together, these had the effect of turning LEOs into occupying force, while other factors, the availability of high-powered firearms and long guns have led to a Paramilitary police look and mentality.

The recent Chicago Police shooting of an escaping car thief, and the mentality that led to the long altercation and not split-second decision was neatly avoided, while Chicago police bloggers who blamed both Mayor Rahm and Daley for cutting the training budget. Other anonymous LEOs joined in by saying lack of training was the problem.

This is part and parcel of the system. Bad shoots can be blamed on a lack of training or stress from working conditions and not from the violence/control/dehumanization inherent in the system. But, if these aren't enough to cover the bad shoot, then the character/criminal history of the suspect becomes pertinent and subtle lies can be added to the narrative.

Conservatives have been conditioned by right-wing toxic talk radio, Faux News, and the incestuous right-wing internet sites to reflexively blame all members of the maligned group. After every incident if the perpetrator is black, all members of the black community or #blacklivesmatter are guilty, if the offender is a muslim, all of islam is responsible, if the immigrant is hispanic, he's illegal.

Also, as conservatives have been trained to focus all their ire onto President Obama, every shooting in Chicago, every riot in Milwaukee becomes his fault. Additionally, since they ascribe to President Obama tyrannical powers they demand he turn those powers onto #blm and uniltaerally declare the organization a "terrorist group".

The arguments around #blm today are eeriely similar to those made about the Civil Rights Era; act responsibiliy, don't be so militant, don't do things which cause people to be annoyed or inconvenienced by you and eventually we'll get around to your concerns.

It wasn't until blacks began causing damage to property, in response to police shootings of black men that the media and conservatives began to pay attention. Of course, conservatives immediately called for violence against any and all black people and began demanding shoot-on-sight orders for looters.

Of course, it's hard to take conservatives seriously when they cry and moan about private property damage seeing as they venerate the Boston Tea Party as a near-Holy Event.

But, during the Civil Rights Era, black leaders knew they needed an unassailable champions to be the vanguard of the movement, that even the whiff of impropreity would be the wedge conservatives needed to discredit them and get sentiment against them.

While, the young black men killed in recent years have not be paragons of justice and untainted by criminal backgrounds, society in general and the black community have witnessed numerous incidents of #crimingwhilewhite, in which a white suspect has not been killed by Police and the treatment of President Obama, have created the perception that it doesn't matter what blacks do, because conservatives consider them criminal a priori and right-wing media will spare no effort slandering and smearing the dead black person.

To conservatives no police shooting of a black person is ever bad. No black person has ever been denied his constitutional rights, his right to due process, his right to be free of unlawful search and sezuire. Conservatives believe every black person is a criminal who just hasn't been caught yet.

Conservatives wished Robert Dear killed more people at Planned Parenthood

Now, that a few days have passed Faux News has picked up the White Man's Burden and begun the slow and steady justification of the Domestic Terror Attack on Planned Parenthood.

Right-Wingers follow a set pattern in their process of justifying these incidents of right-wing violence. And groups who ostensibly are not supposed to be right or left are always shown to be front groups for the advancement of white conservative power, because there is no pushback by the Pro-Police #Bluelivesmatter, who should conceivably be upset a Police Officer was killed, but in reality is just another right-wing group dedicated to pushing for white power.

First is misdirection, the conservative internet was awash in bullshit claiming this was a bank robbery and had nothing to do with Planned Parenthood. Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger was brought on CNN to demand Planned Parenthood apologize while the terrorist attack was still unfolding. Afterwards, the Media aided conservatives by playing, 'Oh goodness we don't know what the motivations might be...' for 2 days.

Next comes accusation. Cuban Refugee and potential Communist Infiltrator Ted Cruz jumped in on Jim Hoft's claim that Robert Lewis Dear is actually a "Transgendered leftist activist". The proof of this is a claim by Hoft, is that Dear is registered "female" on his voter registration in North Carolina. But, this tactic is a dual-edged sword because the Conservatives whole-heartedly agree with murdering people who do not adhere to their rigid ideology of hatred, oppression and intolerance.

So, then comes endorsement. Bill O'Reilly when talking about the attacks on Planned Parenthood, devoted his talk show intro to justifying his demonization and call to kill Doctor George Tiller and accentuated words like deserved while Bill-O echoed Robert Lewis Dear by claiming PP is in the "baby parts business".

Meanwhile, the entire conservative media infrastructure is playing the tired old tune, 'Biased liberal media! Biased liberal Media!' Conservative Power must always be served. And conservatives are more than willing to sacrifice anyone, even their so-called revered heroes (Veterans and Cops) to advance their Agenda. Toma over at Sick Horses captured the tweets of Republican Presidential Candidates which showed a remarkable lack of acknowledgment, let alone condemnation, of the Right-Wing Domestic Terror Attack.

And this whole right-wing kabuki dance has one goal in mind, to allow conservatives to wash their hands of any guilt and allow the right-wing wurlitizer to go back into cranking up the conservative domestic terrorists for their next attack. It's the same pattern they follow in murders of black people, although in those cases conservatives viciously slander the dead African-American victim (even if it's a child) with a non-stop smear campaign to justify the murder.

Because what Faux News is doing is letting every liberal, minority, woman, or LBGTQ person in America know that it's open season on them. Faux News is torquing up their pack of "lone wolves" and letting them loose on society. And after a right-wing white terrorist murders you, Faux News and the Conservative Internet will celebrate your death and call for more.

A Conservative Domestic Terrorist Attack on Planned Parenthood but, remember this Fundamental Truth; Blacks are Criminals, Muslims are Terrorists, Whites are Neither. (Updated)

Note: I began this post before the white male Terrorist Attack on Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs. As I type this, the right-wing christian white male domestic terrorist armed with an AK-47, is holed up in the lobby of the Planned Parenthood apparently having been confronted by Police Officers, whom he attempted to murder after they disrupted his plan to commit another conservative domestic terrorist attack.

Chicago releases video footage of the murder of Laquan McDonald by Chicago Police Officer Jason Van Dyke in 2014, a totally unjustified shooting and the right-wing reaction is to deflect and justify the shooting. There is literally no killing of a black person that Faux News and conservative will not defend and support.

A foundational building block of Conservatism is white people are Real America, and every advance by minorities is taken from the American Zero-Sum Pie, reducing the power/influence/undeserved status of white people. It's why conservatives don't push back when Donald Trump tweets out Neo-Nazi Propaganda claiming blacks kill 85% of Americans.

When "whites" commit crimes it's because of some demonic outside force, e.g. Video Games and Violent Movies (which is code for Hollywood and Jews), naughty lyrics in rap music (dastardly black culture influence), mental illness, liberal schooling, and so forth. Thus, we can conclude the virtuous white person was corrupted. Whereas, Muslims are Terrorists because of their religion and Blacks are criminals because of their culture and upbringing. That they are impure due to their inherent nature.

That Muslims are Terrorists/Blacks are Criminals is a fundamental core belief of conservatives. It's why conservatives are so ready to accept every manufactured Faux News "criminal" scandal of the Obama Presidency. Barack Obama is ipso facto a criminal based on his blood, skin color, and upbringing.

Many right-wing institutions, books, toxic radio, and conservative news sites exist to defend and advance this narrative. Conservative react to every shooting by referencing Chicago, as though that is the only place in the United States affected by gun violence. Faux News and conservatives justify every shooting of a black person by Police, and every incident of right-wing rage (i.e. Cliven Bundy Insurrection, The Dylann Roof Terrorist Attack in South Carolina) is in reality the fault of President Obama.

Conservatives don't call the criminal incidents of white male rage "terrorism" because they fundamentally agree with the actions. Now, right-wingers may denounce the attacks but more often than not they obliquely justify the action by denouncing a tangential or unrelated issue, such as blaming government regulations for the murder of Eric Garner in Long Island instead of blaming the white police officer applying a choke hold for a business offense.

Domestic Terrorism by conservatives has been on the rise since President Obama's inauguration and will continue until he's out of office. At that time either the conservative domestic terror sleeper cells will go dormant or they will pivot towards misogyny and continue their campaign of violence against America.

Update 1:
The right-wing domestic terrorist surrendered to Law Enforcement. One Police Officer and One citizen have died from his attack. Hopefully, none of the others wounded by this conservative criminal will succumb to their wounds. Now, all that remains is for Faux News and Republicans to minimize this incident and deflect as much blame onto President Obama and Planned Parenthood as possible.

Seriously, Congressman Adam Kinzinger was brought onto CNN to demand the Director of Planned Parenthood apologize, justify the shooters actions because of the "barbaric videos" conservatives have allegedly seen and then proclaim if the shooting was at Planned Parenthood it's because of mental illness.

Update 2:
Colorado Springs is a hotbed of conservative insanity with the Air Force Academy and Focus on the Family being located there. But, no doubt the recent lie-a-thon by Congress, especially Congressman Jason Chaffetz and all the other bloated fat ass white Republican men attacking Planned Parenthood with outright false manufactured information convinced this right-wing domestic terrorist he had to do something.

Update 3:
This is the second mass shooting by a crazed white male gunman in Colorado Springs inside a month. Just 4 weeks earlier Noah Harpham, paraded around with his M-16 brandishing the weapon, his neighbor called 911 only to be informed snidely that Colorado has Open-Carry Laws before Harpham murdered 3 people and was gunned down himself.

#BlackLivesMatter protesters targeted and shot by Conservatives in Minneapolis (Updated)

Back in July, I pointed out that the Conservative Media Machine was preparing to target and destroy the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The summer and early autumn witnessed the declaration by Faux News that #BlackLivesMatter was a Terrorist Organization and the right-wing incestuous internet sucked in the emissions and dutifully regurgitated it to their conservative drones.

Well, the Summer of demonization has moved into the Autumn of outright violence,

Five protesters were shot late Monday night near the Black Lives Matter encampment at the Fourth Precinct police station in north Minneapolis, according to police. 

Those who were shot sustained non-life-threatening injuries, said police spokesman John Elder in a statement. 

Miski Noor, a media contact for Black Lives Matter, said “a group of white supremacists showed up at the protest, as they have done most nights.” 

One of the three counterdemonstrators wore a mask, said Dana Jaehnert, who had been at the protest site since early evening. 

When about a dozen protesters attempted to herd the group away from the area, Noor said, they “opened fire on about six protesters,” hitting five of them. Jaehnert said she heard four gunshots. 

The shootings occurred at 10:45 p.m. on Morgan Avenue N. about a block north of the precinct station.

Not, that this will soften the right's position on #Blacklivesmatter. In fact, I would predict most conservative sites will proclaim the BLM protestors have been asking for it, or they threatened the White Supremacists, while Alex Jones and his Acolytes declare this to be a False Flag Operation. And Conservatives will comfortably slide right back into their unrestrained bigotry and rabid racism.

When BLM began to protest Bernie Sanders many liberals and Bernie Bros pouted BLM should be protesting at Republican Rallies. I often pointed out black people were too smart to do this because they knew at best they would be forcibly removed and at worst, beaten, imprisioned or killed. In fact, conservatives and every Republican running for President are quite comfortable with Polcie Officers killing black people because they believe being black is prima facie evidence of being a criminal.

Now, on the heels of Donald Trump's White Power Supporters beating a single #BlackLivesMatter protester and then Trump and others in his campaign justifying it, we now have this shooting in Minnesota. This is not surprising because the majority of Conservatives are racist neo-confederates and white power domestic terrorists.

Update:
As if to prove the Minnesota Republican Party is comprised of racists who support the shooting of 5 BLM protesters by conservative domestic terrorists, the Minnesota GOP 7th Congressional District tweeted out their complaints about the #Negroproblem.

The Suicide of GI Joe Gliniewicz

I was very nearly ordered months back to be part of the "Honor" Guard, which drew Police Officers from across the country, for fallen Fox Lake Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz. Due to my misgivings about Gliniewicz, I did not want to attend or be associated in anyway with the detail and fortunately two more senior Officers took the detail.

At the time of the incident, I had my suspicions about the "homicide" of Lt Gliniewicz. But, many Police Officers, including some I work with, took this as more evidence in the War on Cops aided by the villianous President Barack Obama and the thuggish #BlackLivesMatter movement. Thus, everyone rushed to quickly deify Gliniewicz and he was showered with honors and his family with monies.

Sadly today, Lake County Authorities announced Gliniewicz took his own life and staged a false crime scene, to cover his suicide.

While Gliniewicz created a crime scene designed to appear as though three suspects had attacked him and shot him with his own weapon there were holes and inconsistencies which became apparent and undercut the belief it was a homicide.

Why had his squad car sat for nearly 20 minutes at the location prior to him calling off he was investigating 3 suspicious persons (2 white males and 1 black male) in the area.

If there was a fight why were there no key-ups? I've been in my share of on duty fights with suspects (and others) and once you hear the intermittent key-ups you know a 10-10 is in progress.

I know two fellow Officers, NIPAS team members, who were on scene that day and the fatal wound on Gliniewicz was difficult to explain. The working theory was that after having fought with and taken Gliniewicz's gun from him, they shot him once in the chest (causing him to double over) before luckily placing the final shot downwards behind his outer vest carrier at the neck.

Officers conducting a search of the nearby marsh-lands reportedly began to "fall-out" and tear up their uniforms within 10 minutes of searching in the swampy area. 3 perps running from the scene would have shredded themselves or been so bogged down as to quit running outright.

Tracking K-9's had no hits and developed no leads from the scene of the incident.

But, nonetheless the FBI and Major Crimes Task Force investigated the incident as a homicide. Until Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd spoke at a news conference a few days later that he was not going to rule the death a homicide.

And that's when all the rumors began to circulate. One of the worst was Gliniewicz had engaged in indecent illegal behavior with children in his Fox Lake Young Police Explorers club.

Another 3 a.m. theory was Gliniewicz was involved in theft and fraud with the former Fox Lake Police Chief Mike Behan, who had hastily retired amidst allegations of official misconduct along with another Fox Lake Officer, and the three had met out there to discuss options when Gliniewicz was ambushed and killed in order to keep him quiet.

While a Hollywood Style Dirty Cop scenario didn't happen, it appears Gliniewicz took his own his life because he was stealing. Thousands of pages of documents reveal GI Joe was embezzling funds from his Police Explorer's group and was worried that Fox Lake Village Administrator Anne Marrin was about to be uncover his criminal activity.

Betrayal is the word used by many about this incident and the entirety of Charles Joseph Gliniewicz's life and death.

Update:
Besides his years long con and thievery, the worst aspect of Gliniewicz's "carefully staged suicide" is the danger he put fellow his officers in, he risked the lives of his so-called brothers-in-blue and even worse  he put the three innocent men he tried to frame for his "murder" in danger of being killed.

The "suspcious" two whites and a black men could very easily have been gunned down by a righteous Police Officer seeking "justice" and those individuals were idnetified and questioned.

But, now the focus has shifted to his complicit wife and eldest son and it seems highly probable that both knew about GI Joe's thefts and most likely were engaged in the scams as well.

This who debacle also reflects so badly on the Police and authorities. Some of this information revealed was known back then how could they in good conscience go forward with that sham of a Parade and Funeral Ceremony?

Jonah Goldberg knows what it means to be authentically black in America

"You don't know what you're talking about, do you?  Friendo..." - Anton Chigurh

Jonah Goldberg expounded his impressive resume that he has built sitting on his expansive backside. Besides being a subject matter expert on Fascism, the Iraq War, the Pulitzer Prize Nominating Procedure, Neopotism, Special Forces Mission budget costs, Goldberg took time out to whitesplain what it takes to be an authentic African-American these days,

But what’s remarkable is that at no point in this conversation did anyone call attention to the fact that Carson is an African-American. One could argue that he’s even more authentically African-American than Barack Obama, given that Obama’s mother was white and he was raised in part by his white grandparents. In his autobiography, Obama writes at length about how he grew up outside the traditional African-American experience — in Hawaii and Indonesia — and how he consciously chose to adopt a black identity when he was in college. Meanwhile, Carson grew up in Detroit, the son of a very poor, very hard-working single mother. 

I have one minor quibble with Goldberg because everyone he speaks to knows that President Obama was born in Kenyan, before his mother and ACORN secretly snuck him in to steal the Presidency of America, one can't get more African/American than that!

But, Jonah also offers up the ubiquitous conservative opener, "One Could Argue..." which is found in every right-wing screed that's going to be horribly offensive but, allows the bigoted writer to hide behind the plausible denial that it's not their argument but one could argue...

Jonah Goldberg is merely travelling down a long road lit by the fire of burning crosses in his whitesplaining of the authentic African-American experience. His comments echo the Post Civil War, whites such as Rev. George Alexander McGuire, who in 1903, stated African-Americans need to ruthlessly "ostracize such brutes in their own race" as he blamed the black community for the lynchings of blacks across the country.

Even today, most conservatives echo these sentiments, and blame the entire black populace, for the actions of "bad negroes" as they were once referred and offer up the "Politics of Respectability" as the way for blacks to avoid being murdered or racially profiled by Police Officers and slandered by bigots on Faux News.

As for Jonah, he's a paragon of the "white race". He championed the Phony Global War on Terror, with the express statements that he would never put his life on the line.

As for why my sorry a** isn't in the kill zone, lots of people think this is a searingly pertinent question. No answer I could give -- I'm 35 years old, my family couldn't afford the lost income, I have a baby daughter, my a** is, er, sorry, are a few -- ever seem to suffice.

Undaunted with being a ChickenHawk Jonah showed his absolute hog-shit ignorance when asked about military missions when Piers Morgan asked him how much the Kill Bin Laden Mission cost.

Instead of admitting he has no idea because Jonah Goldberg never had any intention of going anywhere near the military, he pulled a number out of his expansive flabby chicken hawk ass.

Goldberg: It was a pretty cheap operation.

Morgan: How much does it cost?

Goldberg: It didn't cost --

Morgan: What's your idea of cheap?

Goldberg: Are we really going to do this sort of high school debating tactic crap?

Morgan: Yes. I'm curious what you think of what cheap means.

Goldberg: I would put it at – I don't know, $50 million, $40 million...

Morgan: Wow. And that's cheap in the Republican world?

The blubbering and blubbery Jonah retreated to the position he inherited from his mommy at the NRO, turned to Rich Lowry and cried about how mean Piers Morgan was to him. Rich Lowry dutifully declared him the winner, "Jonah Goldberg 1, Piers Morgan 0". The Right-Wing Alternate Reality Internet jumped to Jonah's defense and World Net Daily Writer David Limbaugh wrote,

After being waterboarded into answering, Jonah ventured a guess of $50 million, after which Morgan spent the next several minutes sputtering indignantly about how a Republican such as Goldberg could think $50 million is pocket change.

After Jonah wrote his book Liberal Fascism, he and his publisher, repeatedly and for years, lied that Jonah was twice nominated for a Pultizer Prize, when the truth is Jonah has only ever been nominated for a Putz Prize. Of course, actual historians lambasted Jonah's book, Historians stand up to 'Liberal Fascism' and its abuse of history, while Beck blithely promotes it, via Crooks and Lairs.

A liar, coward, dilettante, chicken hawk, braggart, and buffoon, Jonah Goldberg is at least authentic, he is an authentic Conservative.

Questions Mount in The Death of Fox Lake Police Officer Joe Gliniewicz

Update:I've sat on this for a while, but now that the
news media is reporting on it, there are mounting questions concerning whom exactly is responsible for the Death of Joe Gliniewicz. Because of the failures with the search for the suspects and internal investigations involving the Fox Lake Chief, the on-going investigation has not ruled out suicide or, even worse, Blue-on-Blue murder. I can only hope no Fox Lake Officer was involved but, as the media digs it's becoming frighteningly possible that this was not the murder we thought it was.

Today was the funeral procession for slain Fox Lake Police LT Charles Joesph Gliniewicz. Over 1000 Police Vehicles and several thousand police officers attended. You know who wasn't there?  Sean Hannity, Charles Krauthammer, Racist Limbaugh, Erick Erickson, Ben Shapiro, or any of the Faux News bigots or right-wing internet trolls.

Because LT Joe Gliniewicz's murderous assailants don't fit the race baiting narrative the right wing media is attempting to craft. See 2 of the 3 suspects, obliquely referred to in this Washington Times article as Suspicious Men (without a description), are white.

So, it runs counter to the ratfucking of #BlackLivesMatter and the War on Cops narrative the Incestuous Right-Wing Media is trying to create.

It's the same reason Faux News and the Right-Wing Media didn't proclaim the War on Cops when conservative second amendment heroes Jerad and Amanda Miller killed 2 Police Officers in Las Vegas declaring, "This is the beginning of the revolution!" or when Richard Poplawski assassinated 3 Pittsburgh Officers in 2009 because he feared President Obama's Coming Gun Ban.

Conservatives don't care about Joe Gliniewicz. All they care about is using the deaths of Police Officers to advance the Right-Wing Agenda of Oppression and Intolerance. What they support is the Legal System of Law & Order; the use of Police Power and Authority to Oppress and Advance White Supremacy.

Update:
On-Line Conservatives have rushed to demand President Obama denounce the attacks on Police Officers, pointing out Barack made comments after Trayvon Martin's death. When the President's numerous comments denouncing the attacks are referenced, right-wing internet scolds cry 'Bullshit!' because it undermines what they desparately want to believe.

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.

Sandra Bland died for the "crime" of being Uppity. A Police Officer's View.

First off, there is literally no death of any black person at the hands of the Police which Faux News and Conservatives will not justify and defend.

Nothing will make them deviate from their playbook of, minimizing the LEOs actions, demanding the black person prostrate themselves completely and then slandering the victim after their death.

An arrest is not a conviction. Of course, Conservatives believe every black person is a born criminal. Thus, begins to ex post facto justification for Bland's death via the murdering of her character. It's the right-wing way.

Bland's toxicology report showed cannabinoids in her blood. Weed Smoking is only acceptable if you're white. The same with gun ownership.

There's a massive amount of wrong with this whole escapade. Even the release of the dashcam video which Ava DuVernay, the director of Selma, legitimately called doctored, was so fraught with "glitches" the Texas Department of Public Safety is turned it over to the FBI for authentication that no editing has been done and any apparent errors are problems with uploading. Texas DPS has also released 3 hours (out of 72) of Bland's incarceration but, there is no camera inside the cell and big gaps in video coverage down the hallway to the cell. So, whatever happened inside Bland's cell is never going to be known.

Now, I know exactly what Deputy Brian Encinia was doing when he zoomed up on Bland's vehicle, i.e. checking her license plate status to see if the driver is Suspended or has a Warrant. Nothing showed up on his squad car computer screen but, when she makes a minor traffic violation, failure to signal lane change, he's got his Probable Cause, to pull her over and run a name check and also get a better look inside the interior of the vehicle.

Well, he's got nothing. So he writes the moving violation and returns to Bland's window. And that's when he sees his opening.

When an officer or deputy escalates aggression it's either because he's weak and unsure of himself or he's trying to torque the person up in order to get a reaction ," a" rise out if that person. Deputy Brian Encinia starts in on Bland, seemingly asking innocuous questions, Sandra Bland answers the questions in too flippant a tone for Deputy Encinia and he rapidly descends into Eric Cartman level 'Respect My Authoritah'.

Conservatives of course begin the character assassination of Bland at this point. Calling her arrogant, demanding she obey* the orders of the Deputy, and blaming his verbal aggression on her. With indefensible incidents such as this, Conservatives focus on one aspect, Encinia's right to order her out from the car, instead of the totality of the circumstances.

Now, while Encinia can legally her out of the vehicle, she's not under arrest at that point as the Deputy asserts, but is being temporarily lawfully detained. But, once this "arrogant" black woman talked back to him Encinia apparently lost his composure, threatened "I will light you up", called for backing units, and the situation was totally out of control. A good Police Officer must be able to ratchet down during encounters. Encinia was apparently too weak or too stupid to do this.

Because prior to getting her out of the vehicle, there's nothing there. No DUI, No warrants known to him at the time, no major moving violations, no contraband in the vehicle. Just a black woman who didn't know her place.

Resisting/Obstructing are the catch-alls Police Departments use to charge a person whom they most likely should not have arrested. Much of what's wrong here stems from the decision to put the Resisting/Battery to a Peace Officer charge on Bland to cover for Encinia's mistakes.

I don't know what Waller County Texas lockup procedures are but, Bland should have been released on an IBond after she couldn't come up with the money. They had her car. They had already positively identified her. No felony had been committed. So, why wasn't she bonded out? Because as a further demonstration to her that if you don't prostrate yourself before the law, you are going to spend a whole weekend in lockup, to teach that uppity n-slur some manners.

Usually temporary holding cells contain no items like plastic bags no trash can liners and her food** would not be delivered in one. I never let the arrestee have plastic dinnerware, a straw or even the plastic lid on the drink. Also it's Standard Operating Procedure that even arrestee without self-admitted suicidal thoughts are made to give up shoe laces, belts and even drawstrings on hoodies.

Additionally, during processing prior to being placed into a Holding Cell, it is SOP to ask if the arrestee if they have ever harmed them-self or attempted suicide. And if Deputies knew she had a history of suicidal thoughts, as the processing form shows, then they are obligated and responsible for her well-being. If that means taking her to the Hospital for close non-stop observation and an evaluation by a Doctor, too bad they made the arrest.

The Waller County Sheriff Department didn't do this, most likely, because the Deputies believed she was feigning Incarceratius, in order to get out of lockup.

So, Sandra Bland is dead. The Texas Authorities are in overdrive to prove she committed suicide, but even if she did (which sadly I'm not ready to concede) her death nonetheless is still on Waller County Sheriff because they decided to hold a potentially suicidal person for 3 days for the Unforgivable Crime of being Black in America.

* - Conservatives have for years gotten away with this hypocritical dichotomy of fear-monging about distrusting government so much so that they've purchased 100 million guns and deployed themselves to Counter Jade Helm yet they unequivocally accept every Government Official declaration concerning the suspicious deaths of black people by authorities. It could not be any clearer that Conservatives support and desire the murder of black people by Police.

** - much was made of Dylann Roof, the white conservative domestic terrorist getting fed Burger King after he was under arrest. This is non-controversial. My Department provides McDonald's for every meal for someone held in our temporary detention cells.

Bernie Sanders needs to care about #Blacklivesmatter because Republicans do not (Update: Bernie Sanders is a Nazi)

In the Marine Corps my job was to focus on WET (Weather, Enemy, Terrain), the biggest enemy of America today is the Republican Party, on whom most of my posts focus.

But, it's important for the leaders of the Democratic Party or those who wish to secure the Democratic Presidential Nomination to remember not to take votes for granted.

#Blacklivesmatter descended upon Netroots Nation 15 and made a couple candidates, Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley uncomfortable. From all the reporting I've read O'Malley acquitted himself well, staying and speaking 1-on-1 with people, allowing them to voice their concerns. But, Bernie Sanders was apparently unprepared and could not deviate from his message about economic injustice and income inequality from which he ardently believes all injustices in the United States flow.

While, I tend to believe that more economic opportunities for Americans would help eliminate some of the problems we face, People of Color face another more dangerous barrier, which I do not. The frightening prospect that they will be killed by Police Officers or Stand Your Ground Gun Maniacs who adhere to the Conservative belief that all people of color are criminals.

All the white progressives posting and tweeting their irritation that Bernie Sanders was "ambushed" at the Netroots Nation conference and upset the GOP candidates aren't being subjected to similar tactics need to check themselves and understand #Blacklivesmatter isn't going to approach Republicans because they understand Republicans don't believe Black Lives Matter. Republicans are perfectly content with the situation as it exists today. Republicans are absolutely fine with Police Officers murdering People of Color.

But, Bernie Sanders is ostensibly running for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. As such, he needs to address the issues of Democrats, whom People of Color overwhelmingly, support and identify.

And if Bernie wants to win a nomination outside the comfy confines of his home state of Vermont he needs to be able to field hard questions and weather a few punches thrown his direction from the Left because the despicable vitriol, evil hatred, and vicious attacks from the Right during the campaign will dwarf this incident.

Update: And just like that the odious Kevin D. Williamson of the Conservative Cesspool NationalReview has labeled Bernie Sanders a National-Socialist.  

In the Bernieverse, there’s a whole lot of nationalism mixed up in the socialism. He is, in fact, leading a national-socialist movement, which is a queasy and uncomfortable thing to write about a man who is the son of Jewish immigrants from Poland and whose family was murdered in the Holocaust. But there is no other way to characterize his views and his politics.  

Williamson goes on in his putrid article to use the National Socialism tag an additional four times as he obliquely proclaims Senator Sanders is Adolf Hitler. And remember Bernie isn't even a real threat at this point and Conservatives are more than willing to go full HITLER! on him.

Now, of course I understand the Corporate Conservative Media can't wait to use this incident to ratfuck the Democratic Party because that's what they do. The Media serve the interests of the Plutocracy and that is the main opponent of Bernie Sanders.

In reality, though this incident is of little concern because Hillary Rodham Clinton is by far and away the front runner for the Democratic Nomination. But, the Left needs to ensure all the disparate voices of their collation are heard.

Prepare to have the #Blacklivesmatter movement ratfucked becuase Conservatives Love when Cops kill Black People

The United States has always vilified and demonized black people. Now, I'm not advising you to drive down Roosevelt Ave into Lawndale, the Vice Lords "Holy City", anytime soon but, in America every Black Person is a priori a criminal.

However, it's even more nefarious than just rabidly defending every White Officer who guns down an unarmed black man. The Conservative Media Complex in this Nation will spare no duplicitous strategy in obfuscating, muck-racking and slandering any black person who happens to be executed by Police Officers or self-appointed Neighborhood Watch Captains.

And not content with demonizing the murdered black person Faux News, rabidly racist right-wing internet media and so-called Libertarians immediately seek to minimize and lie about the actions of the murderous white racists. As when they pretended that Dylann Roof's murderous domestic terrorist attack was really on attack on the Christian Faith. A gorgeous, devious lie which allowed conservatives to segue into the phony War on American Christians. And this is because, the majority of conservatives are white domestic terrorists and racist neoconfederates.

It's fortunate no racist, insane "Witness 40" came forward to lie about the murder of Walter Scott, as "Witness 40" did with her "first-hand journal" of the Mike Brown's murder. Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin and other conservative villains relentlessly referenced her so-called account as justification for Brown's execution. And that the bystander had the courage to record Scott's killing at significant risk to his own life, so the right-wing internet fart bubble wasn't able to lie to justify Scott's execution.

Every police officer should know the basic meaning, if not the entire ruling of the 1985 SCOTUS Tennessee v. Garner, which explicitly lays why a LEO can not shoot a fleeing suspect.

As well as, the 1989 Graham v. Connor, which requires the Officer take into account the severity of the crime when effecting an arrest or "seizure".

But, these ruling are why every Officer has been coached to proclaim fearing for his life in these incidents. Because don't fool yourself, every LEO has received official and unofficial advice prior to any statements.

But, the unconstitutional summary executions of black people isn't slowing down. In Stonewall, Mississippi a horse and buggy driver named Jonathan Sanders was choked to death by a part-time Police Officer who apparently wanted to show off to his wife (who was on a ride-along) how he could terrorize and brutalize black people.

The "suicide" of Sandra Bland in Texas stems directly from a violation of Graham v. Connor. During a traffic stop, not a Forcible Felony stop, Bland was thrown to ground and forcibly restrained before being put into a holding cell where Texas Officials proclaim they think they saw a plastic bag which she must have used to hang herself. Already the Texas Deputy who forcefully threw Bland to the ground on the traffic stop has been suspended for violating Department Policy on "courtesy during traffic stops." But, since Sheriff Glenn Smith, has previously been fired as a Police Chief before being elected Sheriff, for being racist it'll be up to the Texas Rangers, FBI and Department of Justice to ensure a proper investigation is conducted.

But, don't expect the Right-Wing Media Complex or the rabid racist white conservatives to give a fuck about Supreme Court Rulings, Department Policies or visual video evidence. None of those facets have dissuaded them before and they won't in regards to Bland's "suicide" or any of the deaths of blacks at the hands of Police. Conservatives believe the Police exist for the purpose of Killing Black People.

Already, the scouring of her past has begun as youtube videos have been found wherein Bland talks about suffering from depression. As with criminal background becomes de rigueur evidence that the killing of Mike Brown or Eric Garner or Trayvon Martin were justified, Bland's depression is going to be used by conservative bigots to proclaim she committed suicide and allow them to go back to stating all blacks are criminals who get what they deserve.

But, while these instances are case by case instances of conservative Ratfucking of the murdered individual, a systemic institutional catch-all Ratfuck is being developed by powerful members of the Law Enforcement Community to undermine the entire #Blacklivesmatter movement.

Recall, the "Credible Evidence" of a truce/pact between major factions of the Folks/Peoples Gang structure ivo Baltimore to engage in open warfare and attempts to murder Police Officers was leaked by Law Enforcement Intelligence Community.

While, this accomplished the desired effect of turning attention from Freddie Gray's death via a "rough ride" and towards getting public opinion against the protesters while allowing the media to broadcast the protests were a coordinated criminal enterprise by career criminals (i.e. Black people).

Of course, Faux News ran dozens of segments a day about property damage and a burned out CVS, which every dutiful right-wing blogger repeated on every platform of social media in order to delegitimize the movement and turn every person involved into a criminal suspect.

But, it was just the opening salvo in the whispering campaign trying to paint the #Blacklivesmatter movement as being funded by criminal gangs, foreign governments and international terrorist organizations.

The Right-Wing is not going to allow #Blacklivesmatter to succeed. It's not the 1960's anymore, they can't rely on proclamations of "Outside Agitators" and expect the majority of Americans to support the shooting and strangulation of unarmed blacks. They learned a great deal from their success at lying about Iraq and building a groundswell of support by disseminating false intelligence and propaganda.

Each and every black person's murder is going to strengthen the resolve of Conservatives, it's going to sharpen their vitriol and heighten they pandering to the most reactionary rabid racist elements of their party, which are no longer just a unspoken minority but the loud and vociferous super majority of the Right.
