(DAILY CALLER) Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin, is running for county commissioner in Florida and says she disagrees with demands to defund the police that some have called for in the wake of George Floyd’s death, according to the Guardian.
Martin was 17-years-old when he was fatally shot by George Zimmerman in 2012, a community watch volunteer who plead self defense and was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges. Fulton has kept a close eye on the protests over the death of George Floyd — her son’s death helping spark the Black Lives Matter movement — and told the Guardian she doesn’t agree with calls to “defund the police.”
“I think we need more police,” she said “We need police with better standards, and police with better ethics and better work habits.”

wnd--2020-06-12--The kneeling craze: Sorry, I have nothing to confess

`` Pick a knee , '' says CNN 's S.E .
Cupp , `` The one that knelt on a neck or the one that knelt to try to prevent it . ''
This kind of ugly false choice – either you adopt my favored form of political protest or you support murder !
– is meant to bully you into participating in groupthink .
Worse , it 's meant to shame the target of Cupp 's exhortation into taking ownership of racism , an evil that may have nothing to do with him .
I find the abuse of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is apparently a provocation , any civilians – by the police abhorrent .
More than any other group in American life , cops , empowered by the state to use force , have special responsibility to protect life and adhere to the law .
But I am no more liable for the actions of Derek Chauvin than is S.E .
Cupp or Al Sharpton .
I have nothing to confess .
The color of my skin is not an indictment of my morality , nor does it strip me of my agency .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ minutes as an act of contrition , that 's their choice .
It is my choice to be embarrassed for them .
There is a yawning difference between having a desire to fix the wrongs of the past and taking responsibility for them .
Kneeling in front of your fellow citizens in cult-like displays of self-flagellation , the kind we saw in Bethesda and North Carolina , where white people begged for absolution while washing the feet of their black neighbors , is antithetical to the egalitarian ideals we should be striving to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or we would n't be here in the first place .
My ancestors were probably boiling leather to survive under Russian monarchs – their progeny sent to death camps under fascism and their children forced to live under the tedious tyranny of communism .
They came here to stop kneeling .
It 's true that immigrants also have an obligation to assume the legacy and historical responsibilities of their new country .
They do so by swearing to uphold the ideals of the Constitution .
Why would we demand that anyone answer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 17th-century slave-trader when we can ask them to celebrate the legacy of John Adams , Abraham Lincoln and the Union private fighting in Antietam to fix the mistakes of the founders ?
( Then again , even if you 're a direct descendent of Gen. Robert E. Lee , you only need beg forgiveness for your own sins . )
If you have policy ideas that will make life better in African American communities that have been left behind in this country , let 's talk about it .
Let 's end @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drug war .
Let 's end mandatory minimums .
Let 's end the power of police unions that protect the worst offenders and teachers ' unions that keep poor black kids in failing schools .
Let 's find ways to create more economic opportunities .
We can do all of that without condemning our country as fundamentally unjust .
Protest in any peaceful way you like , but some of us see no reason to disrespect the flag , either .
Though it 's now largely memory-holed , the original reason Colin Kaepernick @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as `` pigs '' and defended Fidel Castro – took a knee was this : `` I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color . ''
Kneeling may have evolved into a more solemn act , but Kaepernick 's protest was not conceived as an act of respect .
Nor do cable news hosts have the moral authority to define it .
Kneeling is a tacit admission to a number of contentions that I simply do n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the United States , a nation conceived and run by flawed human beings , is inherently racist .
I do n't believe there is institutional racism in America anymore or that the police , as a matter of policy , are hunting down black men .
Murder like that of George Floyd is a rare event .
Chauvin was charged with murder , as were his accessories .
There is not a single politician in the country who excused what happened .
But the definition of racism is always expanding .
Now anyone @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Black Lives Matter and its supporters – champions of a hodgepodge of leftist causes – can be accused of being a bigot .
Well , most Americans want to find ways to improve everyone 's lot , even if they have different ideas about how to accomplish it .
Perhaps those of us who do n't kneel are mistaken in that belief , and perhaps more facts and arguments will change our minds .
Smearing us as racists for refusing to engage in mass acts of performative contrition will not .

"Pick a knee," says CNN's S.E. Cupp, "The one that knelt on a neck or the one that knelt to try to prevent it." This kind of ugly false choice – either you adopt my favored form of political protest or you support murder! – is meant to bully you into participating in groupthink. Worse, it's meant to shame the target of Cupp's exhortation into taking ownership of racism, an evil that may have nothing to do with him.
I find the abuse of black civilians – or, though this is apparently a provocation, any civilians – by the police abhorrent. More than any other group in American life, cops, empowered by the state to use force, have special responsibility to protect life and adhere to the law. But I am no more liable for the actions of Derek Chauvin than is S.E. Cupp or Al Sharpton. I have nothing to confess. The color of my skin is not an indictment of my morality, nor does it strip me of my agency.
If senators want to kneel for nine minutes as an act of contrition, that's their choice. It is my choice to be embarrassed for them. There is a yawning difference between having a desire to fix the wrongs of the past and taking responsibility for them. Kneeling in front of your fellow citizens in cult-like displays of self-flagellation, the kind we saw in Bethesda and North Carolina, where white people begged for absolution while washing the feet of their black neighbors, is antithetical to the egalitarian ideals we should be striving to achieve.
Most Americans have historical grievances, or we wouldn't be here in the first place. My ancestors were probably boiling leather to survive under Russian monarchs – their progeny sent to death camps under fascism and their children forced to live under the tedious tyranny of communism. They came here to stop kneeling. It's true that immigrants also have an obligation to assume the legacy and historical responsibilities of their new country. They do so by swearing to uphold the ideals of the Constitution. Why would we demand that anyone answer for the legacy of Jefferson Davis or the 17th-century slave-trader when we can ask them to celebrate the legacy of John Adams, Abraham Lincoln and the Union private fighting in Antietam to fix the mistakes of the founders? (Then again, even if you're a direct descendent of Gen. Robert E. Lee, you only need beg forgiveness for your own sins.)
If you have policy ideas that will make life better in African American communities that have been left behind in this country, let's talk about it. Let's end qualified immunity. Let's end the drug war. Let's end mandatory minimums. Let's end the power of police unions that protect the worst offenders and teachers' unions that keep poor black kids in failing schools. Let's find ways to create more economic opportunities. We can do all of that without condemning our country as fundamentally unjust.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
Protest in any peaceful way you like, but some of us see no reason to disrespect the flag, either. Though it's now largely memory-holed, the original reason Colin Kaepernick – who once wore socks depicting cops as "pigs" and defended Fidel Castro – took a knee was this: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color."
Kneeling may have evolved into a more solemn act, but Kaepernick's protest was not conceived as an act of respect. Nor do cable news hosts have the moral authority to define it.

Chauvin was charged with murder, as were his accessories. There is not a single politician in the country who excused what happened.
But the definition of racism is always expanding. Now anyone who disagrees with the political aspirations of Black Lives Matter and its supporters – champions of a hodgepodge of leftist causes – can be accused of being a bigot. Well, most Americans want to find ways to improve everyone's lot, even if they have different ideas about how to accomplish it.

wnd--2020-06-12--Cops search home after school reports BB gun in boy's room

Thanks to the coronavirus crisis , Courtney Lancaster got a lesson in government overreach no parent wants to learn .
But it ’ s one every American needs to take to heart .
The Baltimore County woman , whose son took part in online classrooms because of a coronavirus school shutdown , recently found herself facing a police officer at her door requesting to search her home because her son ’ s BB gun had been spotted in the background during a classroom session he joined in his bedroom .
The lesson plan for the day pretty clearly did n't @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ weapon ” apparently alarmed someone badly enough that the viewer took a screenshot of the boy ’ s bedroom during an online class .
The school 's principal was notified , WBFF-TV reported , and the school safety officer passed the picture on to police .
Courtney Lancaster , the boy ’ s mother and a Navy veteran , told WBFF she had no idea what a police officer was doing at her home when he showed up June 1 .
“ The police officer was , he was very nice .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ coming to address an issue with my son 's school , ” Lancaster said .
“ And then explained to me that he was here to search for weapons , in my home .
And I consented to let him in .
And then I , unfortunately , stood there and watched police officers enter my 11-year-old son 's bedroom.
” The search took only 20 minutes , according to the station .
But the effects are still lingering .
Since the incident , Lancaster has contacted Baltimore County school officials to try @ @ @ @ @ @ @ son ’ s private belongings , which were nowhere near school property , had become the business of the school district .
She said she was told she was not allowed to see the screenshot -- an image of her 11-year-old son ’ s bedroom , remember -- because it was not part of his student record .
“ It 's absolutely scary to think about , ” Lancaster told the station .
“ Who are on these calls ?
Who do we have viewing your children and subsequently taking these screenshots that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any purpose ?
” Questioned by WBFF , the school district responded with a statement that was even worse than `` no comment . ''
“ Our longstanding policy is to not debate individual circumstances through the media , ” the statement said , according to WBFF .
“ There are multiple ways for families to share concerns with us .
In general terms , the safety of students and staff is our chief concern , whether we are meeting in classrooms or via continuity of learning.
” In short , `` Talk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should have a lot of questions -- and not just in Baltimore County .
The coronavirus shutdowns affected virtually every school in the country , with countless millions of children taking part in online classes .
This incident , where police officers searched a home because of something that was witnessed in a child ’ s bedroom , raises a host of issues : By what reasoning is an object seen in the background of a scene in a child ’ s home considered at all relevant to school ?
Who might be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how are they being used ?
( If the picture in question were taken from an 11-year-old girl ’ s bedroom , there would probably be a very different conversation going on . )
How far are Americans willing to allow the government to reach into their personal lives ?
The coronavirus conditions aren ’ t going to last forever ( hopefully ) but it ’ s doubtful online classrooms , even at primary school levels , are going to disappear completely .
The BB gun incident from Baltimore County is a case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Americans who open their homes to the prying eyes of the government -- and of busybody gun grabbers who do n't stint at taking pictures of the bedrooms of preteens and sharing them around -- are more vulnerable than most might have thought .
That 's a lesson that should n't be forgotten .

Thanks to the coronavirus crisis, Courtney Lancaster got a lesson in government overreach no parent wants to learn.
But it’s one every American needs to take to heart.
The Baltimore County woman, whose son took part in online classrooms because of a coronavirus school shutdown, recently found herself facing a police officer at her door requesting to search her home because her son’s BB gun had been spotted in the background during a classroom session he joined in his bedroom.
The lesson plan for the day pretty clearly didn't involve the Second Amendment, because the “weapon” apparently alarmed someone badly enough that the viewer took a screenshot of the boy’s bedroom during an online class. The school's principal was notified, WBFF-TV reported, and the school safety officer passed the picture on to police.
Courtney Lancaster, the boy’s mother and a Navy veteran, told WBFF she had no idea what a police officer was doing at her home when he showed up June 1.

The search took only 20 minutes, according to the station. But the effects are still lingering.
Since the incident, Lancaster has contacted Baltimore County school officials to try to get some answers about how her son’s private belongings, which were nowhere near school property, had become the business of the school district.
She said she was told she was not allowed to see the screenshot -- an image of her 11-year-old son’s bedroom, remember -- because it was not part of his student record.
“It's absolutely scary to think about,” Lancaster told the station. “Who are on these calls? Who do we have viewing your children and subsequently taking these screenshots that can be sent anywhere or used for any purpose?”
Questioned by WBFF, the school district responded with a statement that was even worse than "no comment."
“Our longstanding policy is to not debate individual circumstances through the media,” the statement said, according to WBFF. “There are multiple ways for families to share concerns with us. In general terms, the safety of students and staff is our chief concern, whether we are meeting in classrooms or via continuity of learning.”
In short, "Talk to the hand."
But parents should have a lot of questions -- and not just in Baltimore County. The coronavirus shutdowns affected virtually every school in the country, with countless millions of children taking part in online classes.
This incident, where police officers searched a home because of something that was witnessed in a child’s bedroom, raises a host of issues:
By what reasoning is an object seen in the background of a scene in a child’s home considered at all relevant to school?

How far are Americans willing to allow the government to reach into their personal lives? The coronavirus conditions aren’t going to last forever (hopefully) but it’s doubtful online classrooms, even at primary school levels, are going to disappear completely.
The BB gun incident from Baltimore County is a case study in the law of unintended consequences: Americans who open their homes to the prying eyes of the government -- and of busybody gun grabbers who don't stint at taking pictures of the bedrooms of preteens and sharing them around -- are more vulnerable than most might have thought.
That's a lesson that shouldn't be forgotten.

wnd--2020-06-11--Medal of Honor recipient attacks left's 'lies about race'

Editor 's note : Maj. Gen. Patrick Henry Brady was awarded the United States military 's highest decoration , the Medal of Honor , and is former president of the Medal of Honor Society .
I recently lost three dear friends .
All served their country honorably , even spectacularly , before and after their service .
They had beautiful families and died normal deaths .
Despite the fact that all three were Medal of Honor recipients , none received the adulation and elaborate funeral recently gifted to ex-convict George Floyd .
There will be no streets renamed for them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ answer is that the three Medal of Honor heroes represented only three votes .
George Floyd , by no measure a hero , represented a minority voting population whose overwhelming support is absolutely essential to the left in order to win any presidential election .
Losing that vote threatens the abortion industry , the swamp , the media – indeed the entire socialist/communist agenda of the left .
President Trump has done more in three years for minorities than the left has done ever .
Trump may already have more than 20 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the left , he must be portrayed as a racist and destroyed – never mind the damage it does to minorities or America itself .
The left 's greatest nightmare is that blacks come to realize the root cause of the problems they face in today 's America is the Democratic Party , a party founded on slavery , bigotry and exploitation .
Tragically , too much of America is not `` woke '' to the truth about their nation .
As is so often the case , the left-wing media have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the truth is : There is no such thing as `` institutional racism '' in America , period .
The police are not racists , and widespread police brutality is a myth .
Of course there are police who are racists , black and white ; and of course there are police who are brutal , black and white .
But I would bet that in both cases , percentage-wise , it 's less than exists in the general population .
Too many of the `` protesters '' could not care less about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the loot or a selfie .
Those in the media who glamorize the looters and rioters are simply after Trump .
How dare he tell America that a dishonest media is the enemy of the people .
After all , they believe , their job is not to tell us the truth about ourselves ; it is to tell us what to say and how to think – and threaten us if we do not comply .
Why the uproar , even on the right ?
The simple answer is cowardice – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ A typical opening comment by a political or media coward is to go on and on endlessly glamorizing George Floyd and demonizing the bad cop who killed him .
This cowering before the radicals , especially by corporations , is simply the latest form of the old protection racket .

Ensure that justice is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ real tragedy of the disintegrating black family and black-on-black deaths , in Chicago for example .
We should not celebrate or enrich Black Lives Matter , which has openly advocated killing cops .
Black Lives Matter may be the most racist , bigoted and fascist cabal in America .

wnd--2020-06-11--The Barbarians are in charge: Scenes from the sacking of America

On June 9 , I tweeted out the following : '' Seattle 's East Precinct has fallen , as Police Chief Carmen Best orders Seattle Police to evacuate .
The occupiers , aka the 'peaceful protesters , ' declare victory .
'They 've given us the precinct , ' they boast .
NOT EVEN IN South Africa . ''
A mere day on , and the City of Seattle is de facto occupied territory , fallen to the `` peaceful protesters '' – the same counterculture media darlings who 've been sacking cities across America .
The rabble – Black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police arrest records show is almost entirely local – was further roused by Seattle City Council Member Kshama Sawant , formerly of Mumbai .
Most reprehensibly , Pied Piper Sawant led the `` peacemakers '' to occupy City Hall in downtown Seattle , on Tuesday , June 10 .
The altercation between Council Member Sawant and Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan gives new meaning to the `` broad '' sweep of ideas in this dysfunctional city .
Sawant , a socialist , called on Mayor Durkan , a progressive , to resign over abuse @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and systemic racism ( a meaningless abstraction ) .
This , as the city was being sacked .
As of this writing , the Seattle police has surrendered without defeat .
Seven blocks of downtown Seattle , renamed the `` Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone '' ( CHAZ ) , have been appropriated by the Peaceful Ones , with the imprimatur of the mayor and her police chief ( Carmen Best aforementioned ) .
Now loosed on the public , these buccaneering entrepreneurs are reported to have set up checkpoints to shake down residents @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Not in this satrapy .
On the positive side , Seattle now has that sh -- hole-country vibrancy .
The president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild , SPOG , penned an open letter to lunatic Mayor Durkan , pondering how he would fulfill his sworn oath of office to protect lives and property without so much as tear gas .
He got his answer .
America did .
Across the U.S. , the message to law-abiding Americans , from city , town , county council members and other legislators came loud @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own .
Neither police nor politicians are coming to protect what 's left of your businesses or your banal , bourgeoisie little life .
Last I looked , there were 400,000 `` guardian angels '' in private security toiling to make up for the South African state 's failure to protect its people .
Every year , millions in taxpayers ' money are forked out to private security firms to protect the new South Africa 's police stations .
`` South Africa 's protectors ca n't protect themselves . ''
Will Seattle 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It 's time for them to cut the shafted taxpayers loose .
Let us go private .
When all is said and done , the George Floyd riots are a law-and-order-event .
Nothing else matters in the overarching context of a failed state , in which ordered liberty is dead and the law-abiding are utterly forsaken , even vilified .
Yes , victims are now villains and villains are … martyrs .
Unbeknown to Nikolas Fernandez , a gainfully employed security guard , the Capitol Hill district of Seattle now belongs to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to drive down it , only to be mobbed by the barbarians and forced to shoot an attacker possessing of animal-like agility .
Legacy media quickly turned the narrative on its head .
Fernandez , whose brother is a policeman , had invaded `` peaceful protester '' turf .
His attacker took a bullet for peace .
Hero .
Next came the national kneeling .
Once again , The state of Washington led the way .
On June 1 , after hundreds of looters ransacked major shopping malls in Bellevue , including the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ police chief , Steve Mylett , knelt down like a girl , instead of standing tall like a man for LAW AND ORDER .
`` That was a scary scene in 'Deliverance , ' '' someone quipped on Twitter .
That was it .
There was no stopping the kinky trend .
Soon , Chief Brian Manley of Austin , Texas , broke down in tears for … the protesters , not for property owners robbed .
Real manly .
It 's almost as though WASPs get a homoerotic sexual charge out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The camera panned out across the country to reveal policemen and guardsmen caving .
Against the backdrop of `` Mad Max '' -like dystopian destruction , men in uniform all collapsed to the pavements like yogis to the command of their black tormentors .
One after another .
Here is Santa Cruz Police Chief Andy Mills .
KNEELING .
The forces , police and paramilitary , all squatted like sissies .
Is n't there some a code of conduct preventing uniforms from groveling ?
Police acquit themselves honorably by doing the job ethically @ @ @ @ @ @ @ description .
In Parker , Colorado , masses assumed the postures of ordination : prostration , lying prone , limbs splayed .
Congressional Democrats , led by Nancy , did the same .
Is twerking next ?
Finally !
We have a man in the house !
`` Georgia State Trooper O'Neal Saddler , black , refused to kneel during a Black Lives Matter protest in Hartwell , saying he only kneels '' for God .

On June 9, I tweeted out the following:
"Seattle's East Precinct has fallen, as Police Chief Carmen Best orders Seattle Police to evacuate. The occupiers, aka the 'peaceful protesters,' declare victory. 'They've given us the precinct,' they boast. NOT EVEN IN South Africa."
A mere day on, and the City of Seattle is de facto occupied territory, fallen to the "peaceful protesters" – the same counterculture media darlings who've been sacking cities across America.
The rabble – Black Lives Matter sympathizers, which, as police arrest records show is almost entirely local – was further roused by Seattle City Council Member Kshama Sawant, formerly of Mumbai.
Most reprehensibly, Pied Piper Sawant led the "peacemakers" to occupy City Hall in downtown Seattle, on Tuesday, June 10.
TRENDING: Is this the 'Final Battle'?
The altercation between Council Member Sawant and Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan gives new meaning to the "broad" sweep of ideas in this dysfunctional city. Sawant, a socialist, called on Mayor Durkan, a progressive, to resign over abuse of power (what power?) and systemic racism (a meaningless abstraction). This, as the city was being sacked.
Surrender monkeys
As of this writing, the Seattle police has surrendered without defeat.
Seven blocks of downtown Seattle, renamed the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" (CHAZ), have been appropriated by the Peaceful Ones, with the imprimatur of the mayor and her police chief (Carmen Best aforementioned). Now loosed on the public, these buccaneering entrepreneurs are reported to have set up checkpoints to shake down residents who imagine they may come and go. Not in this satrapy.
On the positive side, Seattle now has that sh--hole-country vibrancy.
The president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, SPOG, penned an open letter to lunatic Mayor Durkan, pondering how he would fulfill his sworn oath of office to protect lives and property without so much as tear gas.
He got his answer. America did. Across the U.S., the message to law-abiding Americans, from city, town, county council members and other legislators came loud and clear: You're on your own. Neither police nor politicians are coming to protect what's left of your businesses or your banal, bourgeoisie little life.
Last I looked, there were 400,000 "guardian angels" in private security toiling to make up for the South African state's failure to protect its people. Every year, millions in taxpayers' money are forked out to private security firms to protect the new South Africa's police stations. "South Africa's protectors can't protect themselves." Will Seattle's neutered policemen be investigating this option? It's time for them to cut the shafted taxpayers loose. Let us go private.
When all is said and done, the George Floyd riots are a law-and-order-event. Nothing else matters in the overarching context of a failed state, in which ordered liberty is dead and the law-abiding are utterly forsaken, even vilified.
Yes, victims are now villains and villains are … martyrs. Unbeknown to Nikolas Fernandez, a gainfully employed security guard, the Capitol Hill district of Seattle now belongs to the "peaceful protesters." Fernandez dared to drive down it, only to be mobbed by the barbarians and forced to shoot an attacker possessing of animal-like agility. Legacy media quickly turned the narrative on its head. Fernandez, whose brother is a policeman, had invaded "peaceful protester" turf. His attacker took a bullet for peace. Hero.
Kneeling ninnies
Next came the national kneeling. Once again, The state of Washington led the way. On June 1, after hundreds of looters ransacked major shopping malls in Bellevue, including the spectacular Bellevue Square, that city's police chief, Steve Mylett, knelt down like a girl, instead of standing tall like a man for LAW AND ORDER.
"That was a scary scene in 'Deliverance,'" someone quipped on Twitter. That was it. There was no stopping the kinky trend.
Soon, Chief Brian Manley of Austin, Texas, broke down in tears for … the protesters, not for property owners robbed. Real manly. It's almost as though WASPs get a homoerotic sexual charge out of prostrating themselves to The Evil Other.
The camera panned out across the country to reveal policemen and guardsmen caving. Against the backdrop of "Mad Max"-like dystopian destruction, men in uniform all collapsed to the pavements like yogis to the command of their black tormentors. One after another. Here is Santa Cruz Police Chief Andy Mills. KNEELING.
The forces, police and paramilitary, all squatted like sissies. Isn't there some a code of conduct preventing uniforms from groveling? Police acquit themselves honorably by doing the job ethically. Activism is not in the job description.
In Parker, Colorado, masses assumed the postures of ordination: prostration, lying prone, limbs splayed.
Congressional Democrats, led by Nancy, did the same. Is twerking next? Finally! We have a man in the house! "Georgia State Trooper O'Neal Saddler, black, refused to kneel during a Black Lives Matter protest in Hartwell, saying he only kneels" for God.
And what a hot, decadent mess was this national guard bump-and-grind in Atlanta: men, women and everything in-between, mostly fat, hips swaying as they give themselves over to Dionysian urges.
Cops can't be responsible for every misstep a feeble-minded protester takes. An elderly geezer, Martin Gugino, in Buffalo, New York, came right up to a cop's face when the latter was on the march. Cop pushed the git to get past him. The geezer was expecting a group hug. Wasn't prepared for a shove. He lost his balance and fell back like a twig. I saw no excess force, except a "get out of my face" shove. But the cops were hung out to dry.
Frey the faker
As to Jacob Frey's schtick: His was total grief appropriation. Frey is the mayor of Minneapolis, where George Floyd, in whose honor the global orgy of abreaction and destruction is being carried out, died by cop. Only people who knew an individual can legitimately have a Frey-like grand mal when mourning him. Otherwise, Frey's performance at the casket was farcical, inauthentic; histrionic. The advice of Humphrey Bogart, playing Rick Blaine in "Casablanca" (channeled by Woody Allen in "Play It Again Sam"), should have been considered: "I never saw a dame yet that didn't understand a good slap in the mouth. …"
The spectacle of mass contagion, where members of the public turn into professional mourners, flocking to funeral happenings for victims they never knew – this is warped. Grief is not a tribal affair. Communities don't grieve; individuals who incur loss do. These are professional pornographers, not mourners. These phony displays among regular folks are at the root of our festering cultural commons.
As kids, we knew our local policeman by name. He patrolled our neighborhoods regularly and joshed around with us. He lived among us.
Community policing, however, is a thing of the past. Former Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson – notorious for shooting Michael Brown – gave a clue as to why. Wilson told The New Yorker that while he didn't want to work in a white area, liked the black community and had fun there – he had experienced "culture shock."
Wilson described venturing into a "different culture": a "pre-gang culture where you're just running in the streets, not worried about working in the morning, just worried about your immediate gratification." For his candor about an alien culture overtaking America, Wilson was called racist by CNN's Boris Sanchez and Kate Bolduan.
"To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely," said Edmund Burke, in his "Reflections on the Revolution in France" (1790). Wilson's words suggest a variation on Burke's theme: To make cops love the communities they police, the communities they police ought to be lovely.
Burke further reminded us in 1790 that, "To love the little platoon we belong to is the first principle (the germ as it were) of public affections." But what happens when those little platoons are not so little and not so lovely?
A country that is without a modicum of cultural cohesion and is, by D.C. design, comprised of ever-accreting, competing factions – this kind of country cannot be lovely in the Burkean sense.
In fairness to law enforcement, communities in America must be damn difficult to police.


wnd--2020-06-11--Race protests morphing into 'French Revolution fervor'

wnd--2020-06-13--As Trump plans to resume MAGA rallies, Dems and media declare him a racist

Now that Democrats have lost the ability to suppress Americans by keeping them locked indoors amid the coronavirus outbreak , they have resorted to their favored tactic : crying about racism .
A month ago , a rally that would see Trump supporters gather en masse would have drawn widespread condemnation over its potential health ramifications .
The coronavirus was supposedly why we were all forced to avoid church pews and small businesses in favor of holing up inside and buying ( or being unable to buy ) toilet paper at Walmart and Target locations .
The country is opening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and citizens in a number of Democrat-run cities have looted some of their big box retailers right out of business .
TRENDING : Black leader unleashes on media at White House : 'Quit lying ' about Trump President Donald Trump will also be resuming his wildly popular campaign rallies , the first of which will be held Friday , June 19 , at the over 19,000-seat BOK Center arena in Tulsa , Oklahoma .
Democrats , who are married to a candidate who is probably struggling to find Tulsa on a map @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and their media allies no longer have the high ground on the “ stay home and save lives ” argument , now that they have overwhelmingly supported massive gatherings of protestors , and in some cases , looters and rioters .
Now , they ’ re using a chapter in Tulsa ’ s history to try to suppress the rally , and are doing the same thing with the Republican National Convention , which is slated to begin Aug. 24 in Jacksonville , Florida .
`` [ G ] iven Trump 's history @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement , many instead see the upcoming campaign event as a call out to rally white supremacists , '' CNN reported , referencing to a tweet from Sen. Kamala Harris .
Sen. Harris shared a Los Angeles Times article on Twitter linking Trump ’ s Tulsa rally -- which is the same day the country commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States , a day known as “ Juneteenth ” -- to Tulsa 's ugly race riot .
“ This is n't just a wink to white supremacists -- he 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” she tweeted .
The LA Times wrote , “ The Trump rally will occur on Juneteenth Day , when many Americans commemorate the end of slavery , in a city that was home to an infamous 1921 massacre of Black people , one of the worst racial atrocities in the nation ’ s history.
” In Tulsa , the infamous violence actually occurred between May 31 and June 1 in 1921 , and it might have been the most deadly peacetime racial clash in the country ’ s history , when America @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the ground .

Now that Democrats have lost the ability to suppress Americans by keeping them locked indoors amid the coronavirus outbreak, they have resorted to their favored tactic: crying about racism.
A month ago, a rally that would see Trump supporters gather en masse would have drawn widespread condemnation over its potential health ramifications.
The coronavirus was supposedly why we were all forced to avoid church pews and small businesses in favor of holing up inside and buying (or being unable to buy) toilet paper at Walmart and Target locations.
A lot has changed.
The country is opening back up and so are small businesses, and citizens in a number of Democrat-run cities have looted some of their big box retailers right out of business.

President Donald Trump will also be resuming his wildly popular campaign rallies, the first of which will be held Friday, June 19, at the over 19,000-seat BOK Center arena in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Democrats, who are married to a candidate who is probably struggling to find Tulsa on a map, are not pleased.
The Democrats and their media allies no longer have the high ground on the “stay home and save lives” argument, now that they have overwhelmingly supported massive gatherings of protestors, and in some cases, looters and rioters.
Now, they’re using a chapter in Tulsa’s history to try to suppress the rally, and are doing the same thing with the Republican National Convention, which is slated to begin Aug. 24 in Jacksonville, Florida.
"[G]iven Trump's history of racist statements, including the birther movement, many instead see the upcoming campaign event as a call out to rally white supremacists," CNN reported, referencing to a tweet from Sen. Kamala Harris.
Sen. Harris shared a Los Angeles Times article on Twitter linking Trump’s Tulsa rally -- which is the same day the country commemorates the ending of slavery in the United States, a day known as “Juneteenth” -- to Tulsa's ugly race riot.
“This isn't just a wink to white supremacists -- he's throwing them a welcome home party,” she tweeted.

The LA Times wrote, “The Trump rally will occur on Juneteenth Day, when many Americans commemorate the end of slavery, in a city that was home to an infamous 1921 massacre of Black people, one of the worst racial atrocities in the nation’s history.”
In Tulsa, the infamous violence actually occurred between May 31 and June 1 in 1921, and it might have been the most deadly peacetime racial clash in the country’s history, when America's most prosperous black community was burned to the ground.
It was a dark chapter in the city’s history, and Tulsans are expected to talk about the 99-year-old event every day now.
But correlating that event with a Trump rally set to be held on Juneteenth by a president who represents the party that ended slavery is an attempt by Harris and other Democrats to further stoke existing racial tensions.
In a statement to NBC News, Democratic Rep. Karen Bass of California said the decision to hold a rally in Tulsa on that date "is disrespectful to the lives and community that was lost during the Tulsa race riot."
"This was the worst act of racial violence to date," she continued, "and yet this is the place that the president, who has pursued nothing but a hostile and oppressive agenda for black people since his inauguration, has chosen to celebrate."
"To make matters worse, he has chosen Juneteenth, a day of our emancipation. This is ridiculous and yet another slap in the face to black people."
"99 years ago a white mob massacred hundreds of Black people in the Greenwood District of Tulsa," Democratic Rep. Joe Kennedy of Massachusetts tweeted. "The most racist President of my lifetime knows exactly what message he’s sending when he goes there on Juneteenth."
Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas tweeted that a "Trump rally with rebel flags (a symbol of slavery and racism) in Tulsa, OK (the place of #TulsaMassacre) on Juneteenth (a day of emancipation recognition) is more than a slap in the face to African Americans; it is overt racism from the highest office in the land."
Joe Biden’s director for strategic communications, Kamau Marshall, joined in as well, tweeting, "How racist is Donald Trump: He's so racist that he plans on having one of his first campaign rallies on June 19th in Tulsa, OK."
In another attempt to smear Trump for perceived racial insensitivity, PBS NewsHour White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor attempted to link the date of the Jacksonville RNC kickoff with “Ax Handle Saturday.”
“President Trump’s planned convention speech in Jacksonville, Florida, on Aug. 27 falls on the city’s 60th anniversary of a brutal KKK-orchestrated attack on black activists known as 'Ax Handle Saturday,'” Alcindor posted on Twitter.
