Imagine … A World Without Police

Imagine there ’ s no heaven It ’ s easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today Wouldn ’ t it be great if society was peace-loving , kind , generous , always positive , and thinking about the best interest of its fellow man ?
What if there was unity ; oneness of heart and mind ; if no one disagreed ; if we all shared our material things ?
What if the whole world lived in peace and harmony ?
Can you just imagine a world like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but I can ’ t .
At least not this side of heaven .
Okay , yeah , when Jesus comes back for us , yes , then I can imagine it ; because I think the God of the universe could pull that one off .
But mere mortals ?
I think not .
Now , don ’ t get me wrong , I ’ d love to live in a world like John Lennon wrote about … a true utopia on earth , but here ’ s the problem : It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on drugs when he wrote that song … as in … not in his right mind .
After all , that ’ s what drugs do ; they alter your state of mind from reality into fantasy , and that ’ s the big draw , right ?
Life sucks , so let ’ s take a break from it , drop some acid ; shoot up some heroin , pop some pills and then … just drift away without a care in the world .
I ’ ve had a rough life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ working at a job I hate , so I can understand the escapist temptation , but … here ’ s the problem : the fantasy doesn ’ t last .
The drugs wear off , and you have to come down to the real earth again , and guess what ?
You ’ re still late on your rent , because you spent the money on drugs ; you lost your job because you were passed out on the floor beside the toilet .
Of course , John Lennon didn ’ t have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rich , and rock legends don ’ t get fired .
Right now , I see many people trying to defund the police , and I wonder if , they too , are on drugs .
Our cities are on fire ; buildings being smashed , looters having free reign , and the mental giants of our time , politicians , businessmen , and academians alike want to solve the problem by saying : “ Hey , we ’ ll just disband all the police officers .
Imagine a world without police .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” So , just for the sake of being open-minded ; let ’ s see what a world without the police would look like .
Imagine this : Charlotte was 14 years old , and her parents went out to a nice restaurant on a romantic date .
It was no big deal ; they ’ d done it many times before , and nothing bad had happened .
Charlotte was a cheerleader , very popular at school , and also excelled academically .
She had a bright and happy future .
She @ @ @ @ @ @ @ blue eyes , a slender figure , and the prettiest face you ’ d ever seen .
As soon as her parents left , she went to her room to study .
She worked for a while , then texted her friends a bit .
After an hour she went to the kitchen to make a sandwich .
She liked tomato , cucumber , and mayonnaise so she whipped one up and was just pouring a glass of orange juice when … Jocko was a lifetime criminal .
He ’ d committed hundreds @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been in prison twice already .
He was 28 years old .
Jocko had been watching this house for several weeks , and when the parents had left , he ’ d assumed the house was empty .
So , he walked around the back and knocked on the door .
There was no answer , so he smashed the glass and reached in to unlock the door .
No alarm sounded , so he walked in and began to explore .
Charlotte heard the glass break , so she ran back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The police station was only a mile away , so she picked up her cell phone and dialed nine-one-one .
It seemed to take forever for someone to answer .
Finally , she heard a voice .
“ I ’ m sorry , due to limited manpower and budget cuts , response to your call will be delayed .
We regret any inconvenience this may cause you .
Please leave a message at the beep.
” After the beep , Charlotte left a detailed message explaining the situation and gave her name @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the phone and hid in her closet .
Jocko heard a young woman down the hall talking , so he took out his long-bladed knife and crept closer to the door .
The voice suddenly stopped , so he carefully and quietly pushed the door open slowly .
There was no one in the room .
He peeked under the bed .
No one .
Then he tried the adjacent bathroom , but not a soul was to be found .
Then he heard a sound coming from the closet .
He moved @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ready .
When he opened the door , the light trickled in and he saw a beautiful , young , 14-year-old girl , cowering in the corner .
And that ’ s when Jocko knew … he ’ d hit the jackpot .
Charlotte put up a fight , but Jocko was bigger and stronger .
He punched her several times in the head until she lay unconscious on the carpet .
He pulled out a roll of duct tape , and tied her hands and feet together .
Then he taped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and carried her carefully back to his van .
Outside , Lucille , the 75-year-old neighbor peeked through the curtains and saw the stranger carrying away Charlotte .
Lucille was good woman , so she picked up the phone and dialed nine-one-one .
It rang several times and then a woman said , “ I ’ m sorry , due to limited manpower and budget cuts , response to your call will be delayed .
We regret any inconvenience this may cause you .
Please leave a message at the beep.
” Lucille @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the window .
She took a picture of the van with her cell phone , meaning to give it to the responding officers .

Charlotte became conscious in the van several miles from her house .

” Charlotte ’ s father left a message , then drove to the police station .
The doors were locked .
He went back home and cried with his wife .
Jocko played with Charlotte for several hours .

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
– John Lennon
Wouldn’t it be great if society was peace-loving, kind, generous, always positive, and thinking about the best interest of its fellow man? What if there was unity; oneness of heart and mind; if no one disagreed; if we all shared our material things? What if the whole world lived in peace and harmony?

Okay, yeah, when Jesus comes back for us, yes, then I can imagine it; because I think the God of the universe could pull that one off. But mere mortals? I think not.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I’d love to live in a world like John Lennon wrote about … a true utopia on earth, but here’s the problem: It’s highly likely that John was on drugs when he wrote that song … as in … not in his right mind. After all, that’s what drugs do; they alter your state of mind from reality into fantasy, and that’s the big draw, right? Life sucks, so let’s take a break from it, drop some acid; shoot up some heroin, pop some pills and then … just drift away without a care in the world.
I’ve had a rough life; two divorces, financial problems, working at a job I hate, so I can understand the escapist temptation, but … here’s the problem: the fantasy doesn’t last. The drugs wear off, and you have to come down to the real earth again, and guess what? You’re still late on your rent, because you spent the money on drugs; you lost your job because you were passed out on the floor beside the toilet.
Of course, John Lennon didn’t have to worry about that because he was rich, and rock legends don’t get fired. Right now, I see many people trying to defund the police, and I wonder if, they too, are on drugs. Our cities are on fire; buildings being smashed, looters having free reign, and the mental giants of our time, politicians, businessmen, and academians alike want to solve the problem by saying: “Hey, we’ll just disband all the police officers. Imagine a world without police. It’s easy if you try.”
So, just for the sake of being open-minded; let’s see what a world without the police would look like. Imagine this:
Charlotte was 14 years old, and her parents went out to a nice restaurant on a romantic date. It was no big deal; they’d done it many times before, and nothing bad had happened. Charlotte was a cheerleader, very popular at school, and also excelled academically. She had a bright and happy future. She was beautiful, with blonde hair and blue eyes, a slender figure, and the prettiest face you’d ever seen.
As soon as her parents left, she went to her room to study. She worked for a while, then texted her friends a bit. After an hour she went to the kitchen to make a sandwich. She liked tomato, cucumber, and mayonnaise so she whipped one up and was just pouring a glass of orange juice when …
Jocko was a lifetime criminal. He’d committed hundreds of crimes, many violent, and had been in prison twice already. He was 28 years old. Jocko had been watching this house for several weeks, and when the parents had left, he’d assumed the house was empty. So, he walked around the back and knocked on the door. There was no answer, so he smashed the glass and reached in to unlock the door. No alarm sounded, so he walked in and began to explore.
Charlotte heard the glass break, so she ran back to her room and locked the door. The police station was only a mile away, so she picked up her cell phone and dialed nine-one-one. It seemed to take forever for someone to answer. Finally, she heard a voice. “I’m sorry, due to limited manpower and budget cuts, response to your call will be delayed. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you. Please leave a message at the beep.”
After the beep, Charlotte left a detailed message explaining the situation and gave her name and address. Then she hung up the phone and hid in her closet.
Jocko heard a young woman down the hall talking, so he took out his long-bladed knife and crept closer to the door. The voice suddenly stopped, so he carefully and quietly pushed the door open slowly. There was no one in the room. He peeked under the bed. No one. Then he tried the adjacent bathroom, but not a soul was to be found. Then he heard a sound coming from the closet. He moved slowly forward, with the knife at the ready. When he opened the door, the light trickled in and he saw a beautiful, young, 14-year-old girl, cowering in the corner. And that’s when Jocko knew … he’d hit the jackpot.
Charlotte put up a fight, but Jocko was bigger and stronger. He punched her several times in the head until she lay unconscious on the carpet. He pulled out a roll of duct tape, and tied her hands and feet together. Then he taped over her mouth and picked her up and carried her carefully back to his van.
Outside, Lucille, the 75-year-old neighbor peeked through the curtains and saw the stranger carrying away Charlotte. Lucille was good woman, so she picked up the phone and dialed nine-one-one. It rang several times and then a woman said, “I’m sorry, due to limited manpower and budget cuts, response to your call will be delayed. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you. Please leave a message at the beep.”
Lucille left a brief message and returned to the window. She took a picture of the van with her cell phone, meaning to give it to the responding officers. They never came.
Charlotte became conscious in the van several miles from her house. She tried to scream, but the duct tape wouldn’t let her. She kicked the side of the van, but to no avail. Jocko laughed out loud. He wasn’t worried. Instead, he just thought about all the fun he was going to have with Charlotte.
Charlotte’s parents came home a few hours later and walked into her room to tell her good night. They found evidence of a scuffle, and blood on the white carpet. Her mother broke down in tears, while her father pulled out his cell phone and dialed nine-one-one. He waited for what seemed like an enormous amount of time before a woman spoke, “I’m sorry, due to limited manpower and budget cuts, response to your call will be delayed. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you. Please leave a message at the beep.”
Charlotte’s father left a message, then drove to the police station. The doors were locked. He went back home and cried with his wife.
Jocko played with Charlotte for several hours. He beat her, then raped her. Then talked to her for a while and raped her again. When morning finally came, and he’d grown tired of the sport, he unceremoniously slit Charlotte’s beautiful throat and tossed her in the weeds at the side of the dirt road. He didn’t care if anyone found her, because his was a life of impunity, of wanton pleasure and debased, carnality. He knew that no one would track him down. He went home and got a good day’s sleep, then he woke up at sunset … and then he did it all over again.
Imagine a world without police. Imagine a world without religion, with no one to tell you what is right or wrong. Without God, we all decide for ourselves.
Three days later, as Charlotte’s body was bloated and rotting, and maggots feasted on her decomposing flesh, a social worker from the state visited her parent’s home. And she said, “Oh, I’m sorry for the delay, we hope it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience, but, we are short-staffed right now. I’m sure you understand.”
Charlotte’s parents were progressive and open-minded, but they didn’t understand. They’d marched with Black Lives Matter, and they’d kneeled dutifully in compliance. At the time, they’d felt good about it, superior, and even proud. They were doing their part to make the world a better place. They’d always believed that people should just get along; that the world really could be a heaven on earth.
Imagine a world without consequences, a world without heaven or hell. Without police, there is no consequence in this world, and, without hell, there is no punishment after death.
Three days after that, Charlotte’s body was found by a farmer. The next day they held a memorial service in her honor. They had marched for change, but … the change they got was … unexpected.
In reality, the whole John Lennon utopian world is a free-for-all, where only the strong endure. I understand that improvements can be made; improvements can always be made. But let’s not make policy based on a drug-infested rock star’s utopian lyrics. After all, your daughter’s life may depend on it.

Clearly, all of us are outraged by what happened to George Floyd. It was reprehensible and wrong. Justice for George, though, has given way to something bigger. The Democrats and the Left are using Floyd’s tragic death to advance far-left ideology.

clashdaily--2020-06-11--How Trump Ending An Obama-Era Nuclear Policy Breaks China’s Leverage Over Our Allies

Why on God ’ s green earth would Trump want to reverse a policy banning the financing of overseas nuclear power ?
You see , according to a document released by Pompeo , China had been twisting the arm of one of our strategic allies , to get things they desperately wanted .
The United States stands with our allies and partners against the Chinese Communist Party ’ s coercive bullying tactics .
In the latest example , Beijing has reportedly threatened to punish British bank HSBC and to break commitments to build nuclear power plants in the United Kingdom @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5G network .
Shenzhen-based Huawei is an extension of the Chinese Communist Party ’ s surveillance state .
The CCP ’ s browbeating of HSBC , in particular , should serve as a cautionary tale .
Just last week , the bank ’ s Asia-Pacific CEO , Peter Wong , a member of the Chinese People ’ s Political Consultative Conference , signed a petition supporting Beijing ’ s disastrous decision to destroy Hong Kong ’ s autonomy and to break commitments made in an U.N.-registered treaty .
That show of fealty seems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Beijing , which continues to use the bank ’ s business in China as political leverage against London .
Beijing ’ s aggressive behavior shows why countries should avoid economic overreliance on China and should guard their critical infrastructure from CCP influence .
Australia , Denmark , and other free nations have recently faced pressure from CCP interests to bow to China ’ s political wishes .
The United States stands ready to assist our friends in the U.K. with any needs they have , from building secure and reliable nuclear power plants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their citizens ’ privacy .
Free nations deal in true friendship and desire mutual prosperity , not political and corporate kowtows .
— StateDept And here is a news story that just HAPPENED to come out the same day .
The Trump administration is rescinding an Obama-era ban on the federal government providing financing for civilian nuclear energy projects abroad , the Washington Examiner has exclusively learned .
The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation is proposing this week to reverse a ban that prevents it from funding civil nuclear projects overseas .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comment on the proposed policy change .
“ Access to affordable and reliable power is essential for developing countries to advance their economies , ” Laura Allen , a spokeswoman for the DFC , told the Washington Examiner .
“ This change would bring advances in technology and offer a zero-emission power source to the developing world while serving as an alternative to the predatory financing of authoritarian regimes.
” The move delivers on a longtime request from Senate Energy Committee Chairwoman Lisa Murkowski , a Republican , and her colleague Joe Manchin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who argued that the prohibition “ sends a harmful signal that American primacy in the civil nuclear sector is waning.
” “ Nuclear energy technology can help meet the world ’ s clean energy needs , ” Murkowski told the Washington Examiner in reaction to the policy change Tuesday .
“ Our energy future is global , and steps like this DFC decision are crucial to meeting climate and energy leadership goals .
Lifting this prohibition will simultaneously strengthen the U.S. economy while boosting international relations and global energy security.
” – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ?
China would LOVE to get Chinese Telecom companies into the 5G market into any of the member countries of the Five-Eyes Intelligence Alliance ( USA , UK , Canada , Australia , New Zealand ) .
If our information is flowing across their network , it is almost guaranteed that China will be able to monitor the information flow .
We do NOT want China having unfettered access to our information flow .
Opening this up just ‘ happens ’ to break the leverage China can bring to bear upon the UK @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chinese Telecom ’ s 5G Network .

Why on God’s green earth would Trump want to reverse a policy banning the financing of overseas nuclear power?
It made perfect strategic sense.
You see, according to a document released by Pompeo, China had been twisting the arm of one of our strategic allies, to get things they desperately wanted.
Simply put, China is a bully.
The United States stands with our allies and partners against the Chinese Communist Party’s coercive bullying tactics. In the latest example, Beijing has reportedly threatened to punish British bank HSBC and to break commitments to build nuclear power plants in the United Kingdom unless London allows Huawei to build its 5G network. Shenzhen-based Huawei is an extension of the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance state. The CCP’s browbeating of HSBC, in particular, should serve as a cautionary tale. Just last week, the bank’s Asia-Pacific CEO, Peter Wong, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, signed a petition supporting Beijing’s disastrous decision to destroy Hong Kong’s autonomy and to break commitments made in an U.N.-registered treaty. That show of fealty seems to have earned HSBC little respect in Beijing, which continues to use the bank’s business in China as political leverage against London. Beijing’s aggressive behavior shows why countries should avoid economic overreliance on China and should guard their critical infrastructure from CCP influence. Australia, Denmark, and other free nations have recently faced pressure from CCP interests to bow to China’s political wishes. The United States stands ready to assist our friends in the U.K. with any needs they have, from building secure and reliable nuclear power plants to developing trusted 5G solutions that protect their citizens’ privacy. Free nations deal in true friendship and desire mutual prosperity, not political and corporate kowtows. — StateDept
And here is a news story that just HAPPENED to come out the same day.
The Trump administration is rescinding an Obama-era ban on the federal government providing financing for civilian nuclear energy projects abroad, the Washington Examiner has exclusively learned. The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation is proposing this week to reverse a ban that prevents it from funding civil nuclear projects overseas. The agency will take 30 days of public comment on the proposed policy change. “Access to affordable and reliable power is essential for developing countries to advance their economies,” Laura Allen, a spokeswoman for the DFC, told the Washington Examiner. “This change would bring advances in technology and offer a zero-emission power source to the developing world while serving as an alternative to the predatory financing of authoritarian regimes.” The move delivers on a longtime request from Senate Energy Committee Chairwoman Lisa Murkowski, a Republican, and her colleague Joe Manchin, the panel’s top Democrat, who argued that the prohibition “sends a harmful signal that American primacy in the civil nuclear sector is waning.” “Nuclear energy technology can help meet the world’s clean energy needs,” Murkowski told the Washington Examiner in reaction to the policy change Tuesday. “Our energy future is global, and steps like this DFC decision are crucial to meeting climate and energy leadership goals. Lifting this prohibition will simultaneously strengthen the U.S. economy while boosting international relations and global energy security.”– Examiner
Why are those two stories connected?
China would LOVE to get Chinese Telecom companies into the 5G market into any of the member countries of the Five-Eyes Intelligence Alliance (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand). If our information is flowing across their network, it is almost guaranteed that China will be able to monitor the information flow.
We do NOT want China having unfettered access to our information flow.
Opening this up just ‘happens’ to break the leverage China can bring to bear upon the UK, twisting their arm to adopt Communist Chinese Telecom’s 5G Network.

clashdaily--2020-06-11--LEADERSHIP FAIL: Gov Inslee Was Clueless That Seattle Had Been Abandoned To The Mob

C ’ mon… really ?
Why would someone tell a lie that makes him look even MORE incompetent than the facts on the ground do ?
Unless he ’ s trying to buy time for … someone ?
But which side would that be helping ?
Part of a major American city has fallen to an unruly mob that has already adopted a Warlord culture for ‘ maintaining order ’ within their boundaries .
They rushed in to fill the gap being left behind when police and the National Guard were sent away from defending one of the police stations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ complicit Mayor ( whose compliance or resignation they are already demanding ) , their revolution seized part of the city ( trapping 500 homeowners , and some businesses ) within a territory that claims to not even be part of America anymore .
Instead of being the least concerned that it might be true , he ’ s laughing about it !
The unprintable combination of profanities that come to mind in response to his reaction doesn ’ t even BEGIN to express my contempt for how he ’ s left an American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by our own version of warlords .
In case he ’ s forgotten , there are some 500 US citizens trapped in those few blocks of territory .
And the anarchists are already demanding that more territory be added to their ‘ takings ’ .
And this is an interesting point .
If some of those 2A protesters had conquered 6 blocks of a major city and declared it to be independent of the United States of America , we ’ d be looking at a whole other story from the press .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Order in his state .
It ’ s about time he started earning his paycheck .
Maybe start by cutting off cell and internet service to those 5 blocks and disrupt their contact with each other and coordination with the outside world .
Maybe cut off utilities , too , offering amnesty or at least leniency for anyone coming out quietly… except for the leaders who should be tried under any relevant laws on the books relating to insurrection .

C’mon… really? Why would someone tell a lie that makes him look even MORE incompetent than the facts on the ground do?

If a bunch of MAGAs took over a section of Seattle & declared their independence, the media would lose their marbles. And you know Jay Inslee would be preening in front of the cameras declaring a statewide emergency instead of pretending he knew nothing about it. — Tom Bevan (@TomBevanRCP) June 11, 2020

In Conclusion…
Every American citizen ought to be outraged that the State abused its power in the wrongful death of Mr. George Floyd.
If we are truly committed to the notion of justice, every American citizen should be similarly outraged that, for what appear to be political reasons, a decorated military officer was maliciously prosecuted by the State to the point of financial and professional ruination even when he was believed, by the very people who were investigating him, to have committed no offense.
We want justice invoked for those who have maliciously wronged George Floyd.
We also want justice invoked for those who have maliciously wronged General Flynn.

First and foremost , it ’ s factually incorrect .

The word “ antebellum ” is literally just Latin for “ pre-war.

Joel Patrick is an unapologetic Christian, conservative patriot. He’s also a pretty astute guy.
He says that apologizing for things that you’ve never done–like owning slaves–to people who have never been slaves doesn’t help.
Putting on blackface in “solidarity” isn’t a thing and is actually offensive.
He also says that the Black Power fist is a symbol of Black Supremacy, and posting it is promoting racism.
Neither rioting nor graffiti helps black people. It actually perpetuates the same tired stereotypes of black people as violent and destructive.
But he’s not just smacking around the woke, white leftists, he’s got some great things that all people, regardless of race, can do that will help.
Without stealing his thunder, it has to do with jobs.
Watch:
He’s talking about trade schools, jobs, self-reliance…and he’s even using this great talk to promote his own music.
This is the kind of thing that we should teach all of our kids, not just ones who are black.
Speaking of great teaching…

Megyn Kelly makes some pretty great points about censorship of movies and television shows .

HBO Max has , therefore , pulled the multiple Academy Award-winning film from its catalog temporarily until it can provide proper historical context .
This censorship of movies is a slippery slope .

Megyn Kelly makes some pretty great points about censorship of movies and television shows.
Now that we’re having a national conversation about race relations in the United States–and globally, for that matter–the woke leftists are trying to outdo themselves with their virtue signaling by finding things suddenly “problematic.”
After being publicly shamed in a Los Angeles Times opinion piece by John Ridley, the Oscar-winning screenwriter who wrote 12 Years A Slave, the online movie streaming service, HBO Max, has decided that the classic film, Gone With The Wind is one of those artifacts from a by-gone era that should no longer be acceptable because it glamorizes the Antebellum South, romanticizes slavery, and portrays African Americans in stereotypical ways. HBO Max has, therefore, pulled the multiple Academy Award-winning film from its catalog temporarily until it can provide proper historical context.
This censorship of movies is a slippery slope.
Few people in 2020 can watch Gone With The Wind and not cringe at the way that African Americans are portrayed in the film. That said, Megyn Kelly asks what about all of the other “problematic” portrayals of other groups in films? Do we get rid of all movies that portray women as sex objects?
Megyn Kelly is slamming HBO Max for temporarily pulling the classic film Gone with the Wind following criticism that it romanticizes slavery, saying ‘Where does this end?’ ‘Are we going to pull all of the movies in which women are treated as sex objects too? Guess how many films we’ll have left? Where does this end?’ she tweeted Wednesday. The journalist sarcastically argued that if movie giants and streaming sites start to pull down controversial shows and films that means hits like Friends, Game of Thrones, and Law and Order must be taken down too.

Ok @hbomax – let’s do this – every episode of “Friends” needs to go right now. If not, you hate women (& LGBTQ ppl,
who also don’t fare well on “Friends”). Obviously Game of Thrones has to go right now. Anything by John Hughes … Woody Allen… could go on & on… & on…& on… https://t.co/dVXWssnFKF — Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) June 10, 2020

‘Live PD’ is consistently one of the highest rated shows on cable. But now it may go away bc even watching a police show is somehow offensive to some. (Secret option #2: if you don’t like it, don’t watch.) https://t.co/CKmlcoZxnN — Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) June 10, 2020

Good point – Law & Order has to go too. Our Corporate Protectors must see how evil it is. https://t.co/yBNVL6Vcky — Megyn Kelly (@megynkelly) June 10, 2020
It turns out that she’s not wrong, but it’s even more ridiculous than she imagined.
There doesn’t seem to be a problem with Law & Order (yet) but a children’s show is now being criticized for the positive depiction of a “good cop” who happens to be a dog.

She’s right. We need to see where we were and how far we have become.
This is why watching Gone With The Wind is so uncomfortable to watch now. It’s the same with Breakfast At Tiffany’s and scores of other classic movies. Millennials are absolutely shocked at the anti-LGBT and lack of diversity in the long-running NBC sitcom Friends and wondered how that could have been on television so recently.
Sometimes, our contemporary cultural tunnel-vision can keep us from recognizing some great truth that is sometimes portrayed in uncomfortable ways.
Speaking of recognizing great truth…

‘Black Lives Matter’ Isn’t Just An Anti-Racism Slogan It’s A Leftist Political Movement–Here’s The 411

Many people are now shouting “ Black Lives Matter ” as they march in solidarity to end racism , but do they know that this is a much larger political movement ?
We were all disgusted as we watched George Floyd ’ s life end on video as a member of law enforcement pushed his knee on the prone man ’ s neck .
There isn ’ t one person that I have encountered in my day-to-day life or online that supports Derek Chauvin in this incident .
Hundreds of thousands of people were outraged and took their outrage to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been told is systemic racism against African Americans in the United States .
The statistics , however , do not back up that claim .
Still , the hurt and outrage is real–statistics do not reflect the feelings within the black community which should not be glossed-over or dismissed .
We do need to hear each other .
Unfortunately , part of the problem is that the media sensationalizes and pushes the narrative that African Americans are targetted for violence by police despite facts showing that is not the case .
The media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ All the narrative that ’ s fit to print.
” Trending : WHOOPS : Ilhan CHEERED ‘ Defund The Police ’ , Now Seattle Is Looking Like Somalia But now that the narrative is out there , and it ’ s pervasive , and individual African Americans of all political stripes say that they do feel targetted by police , the outrage over the situation has exploded and the Black Lives Matter movement has come to the forefront .
But who and what exactly are they ?
Black Lives Matter began as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin .
It was founded by three women , licia Garza , Patrisse Cullors , and Opal Tometi .
BLM has now become an international human rights organization that focuses on combating violence and systemic racism against blacks .
It ’ s a 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) charity that has received millions in funding from far-left organizations like the Ford Foundation and George Soros ’ s Open Society Foundation .
Although it bills itself as a movement based around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , there is much more to what they believe .
Much of it is what you ’ d expect from a leftwing black identitarian movement .
One thing that critics often note is that Black Lives Matter doesn ’ t seem to be terribly concerned about black-on-black crime , and haven ’ t done much in places where that is rampant like Chicago and Baltimore .
Here are some screenshots of their “ What We Believe ” page .
The black identitarian roots are at the core , which is no surprise for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Here ’ s where it starts to get interesting , and it ’ s exposed as not just an organization that is committed to dealing with police brutality and racism , but also about intersectional identity politics .
We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children .
We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “ double shifts ” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work .
We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ villages ” that collectively care for one another , especially our children , to the degree that mothers , parents , and children are comfortable .
We foster a queer‐affirming network .
When we gather , we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking , or rather , the belief that all in the world are heterosexual ( unless s/he or they disclose otherwise ) .
BLM is a black identitarian neo-Marxist organization rooted in modern intersectional feminism .
The founders have made it clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ liberation movement , it ’ s different in that it seeks to “ center the leadership ” of Black women , queer and trans people rather than heterosexual , cisgender black men who were leaders of other movements .
They ’ re protesting the killing of ( mostly ) heterosexual cis-gender black men and leveraging that for fundraising , but those guys can take a backseat in their movement because they ’ re overrepresented in other Black Liberation movements .
We know that BLM has been making a push to “ defund the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tab on their website .
“ We demand acknowledgment and accountability for the devaluation and dehumanization of Black life at the hands of the police .
We call for radical , sustainable solutions that affirm the prosperity of Black lives , ” states the website .
The website continues , “ We call for an end to the systemic racism that allows this culture of corruption to go unchecked and our lives to be taken .
We call for a national defunding of police .
We demand investment in our communities and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ survive , but thrive.
” BLM also has a “ get out the vote ” campaign called WhatMatters2020 , and coincidentally , the issues that matter are all the same as the ones viewed as important by the left .
In this TEDTalks interview , the founders make it clear that they are avowed leftists .
Opal Tometi says that there is “ criminalization ” of the “ existence ” of Blacks .
No , that ’ s not a thing that happens .
They cover these issues from a black lens : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ political aims posing as an anti-racism civil rights organization .
It leverages the outrage over the deaths of black men while telling them that they should allow black women , queer , and trans women to take the lead .
And finally , it is a black identitarian movement , which is purposely antithetical to the message of the great Civil Rights leader , Rev .
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. BLM as an organization clearly states its purpose is to tie blackness to far-left policies which further entrenches the idea that politics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s just not true .
Black lives do matter , but pushing this organization to the forefront will further divide our politics , and that hurts everyone .

The media’s slogan seems to be, “All the narrative that’s fit to print.”
But now that the narrative is out there, and it’s pervasive, and individual African Americans of all political stripes say that they do feel targeted by police, the outrage over the situation has exploded and the Black Lives Matter movement has come to the forefront.
But who and what exactly are they?
Black Lives Matter began as a hashtag on social media in 2013 after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin. It was founded by three women, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi. BLM has now become an international human rights organization that focuses on combating violence and systemic racism against blacks. It’s a 501(c)(3) charity that has received millions in funding from far-left organizations like the Ford Foundation and George Soros’s Open Society Foundation.
Although it bills itself as a movement based around racial justice and opposition to police brutality, there is much more to what they believe.
Much of it is what you’d expect from a left-wing black identitarian movement.
One thing that critics often note is that Black Lives Matter doesn’t seem to be terribly concerned about black-on-black crime, and hasn’t done much in places where that is rampant like Chicago and Baltimore. They certainly don’t mention the black lives that are snuffed out by abortion year after year. Black Lives Matter only seems to care about are black lives when there’s an altercation with a white cop.
Here are some screenshots of their “What We Believe” page.
The black identitarian roots are at the core, which is no surprise for an organization named Black Lives Matter.
We are unapologetically Black in our positioning. In affirming that Black Lives Matter, we need not qualify our position. To love and desire freedom and justice for ourselves is a prerequisite for wanting the same for others. We see ourselves as part of the global Black family, and we are aware of the different ways we are impacted or privileged as Black people who exist in different parts of the world.
Here’s where it starts to get interesting, and it’s exposed as not just an organization that is committed to dealing with police brutality and racism, but also about intersectional identity politics.
We make our spaces family-friendly and enable parents to fully participate with their children. We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work. We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable. We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).
BLM is a black identitarian neo-Marxist organization rooted in modern intersectional feminism. The founders have made it clear that BLM is not just any Black liberation movement, it’s different in that it seeks to “center the leadership” of Black women, queer and trans people rather than heterosexual, cisgender black men who were leaders of other movements.
From their “Herstory” page:
They’re protesting the killing of (mostly) heterosexual cis-gender black men and leveraging that for fundraising, but those guys can take a backseat in their movement because they’re overrepresented in other Black Liberation movements.
We know that BLM has been making a push to “defund the police”–it’s a featured tab on their website. “We demand acknowledgment and accountability for the devaluation and dehumanization of Black life at the hands of the police. We call for radical, sustainable solutions that affirm the prosperity of Black lives,” states the website. The website continues, “We call for an end to the systemic racism that allows this culture of corruption to go unchecked and our lives to be taken. We call for a national defunding of police. We demand investment in our communities and the resources to ensure Black people not only survive, but thrive.”
BLM also has a “get out the vote” campaign called WhatMatters2020, and coincidentally, the issues that matter are all the same as the ones viewed as important by the left.
In this TEDTalks interview, the founders make it clear that they are avowed leftists. Opal Tometi says that there is “criminalization” of the “existence” of Blacks. No, that’s not a thing that happens.
They cover these issues from a black lens:
feminism/female leaders
climate change
justice
the gender pay gap
immigrants
illegal aliens
This is a leftist organization with leftist political aims posing as an anti-racism civil rights organization. It leverages the outrage over the deaths of black men while telling them that they should allow black women, queer, and trans women to take the lead. And finally, it is a black identitarian movement, which is purposely antithetical to the message of the great Civil Rights leader, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
BLM as an organization clearly states its purpose is to tie blackness to far-left policies which further entrenches the idea that politics and race are inseparable. That’s just not true.
Black lives do matter, but pushing this organization to the forefront will further divide our politics, and that hurts everyone.

The show , for anyone interested @ @ @ @ @ .

It’s every cop-meets-black-man story they’ve ever told rolled up into one.
It’s brilliant.
A cop has his gun drawn, pointed at his own reflection in bulletproof glass, and the ricochet hits himself in the groin.
There’s a memorable catchphrase uttered in the moment.
It’s caught on film. And it becomes a CNN story… complete with the logo and everything.
Then we get to see the story evolve from a simple misunderstanding.
To a story about a victim… To a story about a villainous cop… Followed by a lot of TV talking heads shouting at each other.
A lot like how it really happens.
(Fair warning, the clip has a lot of profanity.)
This captured the whole CNN fake-news experiment so brilliantly… and like most of the best art, it takes swipes at people on both sides.
The show, for anyone interested, is called Paradise PD.
