You ha...Thank you for this article Mr. Greenfield. You have put into words what I have suspected but could not express. As the mother of a young police officer, I have grown increasingly alarmed over the hateful rhetoric being aimed at the police by some conservatives lately. I expect it from the left, of course. To hear fellow conservatives claiming all cops are bad and the only good cop is a dead one is frightening. The left has so twisted the narrative that they are even sucking conservatives into blaming the "immune response" instead of the "infection". It seems that these conservatives are losing the ability to discern the the bottom line in this war for our republic. I only hope and pray my son is not taken out by some over zealous person who cannot see the forest for the trees. There is already enough to worry about when he is on duty.

Correct all th...Keliata, regarding your first post:<br />Correct all the way! The looters use an excuse that "the black man can't get ahead; the racist system ensures failure." Explain that to the black businessman who worked his ass off for decades, scrimped & saved, denied his family luxuries in order to invest his profits in his small business, only to see it burned to the ground by black looters (I won't say "his fellow black people", because they have nothing in common other than melanin).<br />About 15 years ago, after (surprise!) a young black man was shot & killed, during the comission of a violent felony, by police in Nashville, TN, some of the residents of the neighborhood rioted. Among the businesses burned was a Dollar General store. The store had been located in that neighborhood because it was near a housing project, & the people needed jobs, according to DG. After things calmed, DG announced that it would rebuild the store, because "the locals need those jobs", and after all, it wasn't their fault that a small percentage of the locals destroyed the store. I haven't shopped at DG since.<br />If we can demand (as we should) that decent Muslims take responsibility for their community, denounce the extremists, & show that they are peaceful, law-abiding folks, why is it we don't demand the same of the black community? Simple: non-black folks are afraid of being called racists.<br />Not I. Call me what you will. I & those who know me know I've not a racist bone in my body. The uninformed accusing me of something of which I'm innocent doesn't make me lose a millisecond of sleep. Decent people of any hue or ideology need to stand up & take back their identity, lest they, by inaction, be lumped in with the evil among them.<br />Sorry for the over-long post, but I'm sick of this.<br />--Tennessee BuddAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-90512772598019373802014-08-21T20:37:29.211-04:002014-08-21T20:37:29.211-04:00"In my neck of the woods the meme being murmu..."In my neck of the woods the meme being murmured is PANTS up, don't loot."<br /><br /><br />ROFL!

The shame is that all this is starkly obvious to the media and the interested politicians, as they persist in calling that ponderous, menacing, hooligan "an unarmed 18 year old" as if he were a fragile, naive innocent, catapulted from another dimension into the maws of a merciless police state. I'd love to know how much these looters are paid, who provides their meals, pays for the buses that deliver them to their battle stations, how many have been to other Sharpton events over the years, and even, perhaps how many union members from all over the country have been mustered to assist in the cause. The media arm of the progressives seem, to a man to be minus integrity, empathy, compassion, civility. They brutalize innocent citizens as thoroughly as the street thugs, just use a different technique.It'd be funny, and not out of the question if some day we find that some or a lot of the demonstrators are being paid with taxpayers' dollars, through federal programs, or on government payrolls. Seems they don't any of them have to be anywhere anytime soon, like, say a job. Until Ferguson runs out of stuff to steal and destroy. Until Irreverand Al creates another feeding ground to keep them sated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-83506614114768635882014-08-21T16:16:34.607-04:002014-08-21T16:16:34.607-04:00In my neck of the woods the meme being murmured is...In my neck of the woods the meme being murmured is PANTS up, don't loot.<br /><br />I wish I were in my 30s and had all sorts of time to play on the internet, coz I'd start a page where people can post a shopped photo of the store they want looted in THEIR memory, if they get killed by an LEO. <br /><br />I'd have lots of middle aged ladies running out of the local yarn shop, their arms brimming with skeins and hanks of merino and angora and roving for home-spinning and Addi Click circular knitting needle sets and Amish-made yarn swifts and expensive coffee table books on aran sweaters and stuff. <br /><br />My husband says his would consist of someones looting the local Bass Pro fishing store, heaped with tackle, just tackle. <br /><br />Our daughter wants the local pet shop's parrot toy aisle looted in her memory, with the proviso that her parrot, Mr. Bingley, gets them all.

That means until that killing shot the perp was still charging the officer intending him harm. It seems to me that the officer fired anumber of non-lethal shots andthat is why six shots were fired. But then you find out that the officer was hit so hard in his eye that his eye socket was shattered. Ask yourself if that is why he failed to stop the perp with one shot? And if after one or two shots and the perp is still charging should the police simply stop shooting to avoid the mondya mornng quarterback view that too many bulets were used? In fact I would argue that the exact and correct number of bullets were fired, no more, no less.

The perception of what was going on rarely matched the reality. It was fueled by a press that was becoming more competetive in getting the best (most sensational) video and images out to the public. The context they portrayed rarely matched the reality on the ground. I remember being part of security for a demonstration in the city I served. Less than 50 protestors were present and yet when the news stories appeared (on local AND national outlets) the viewer would have thought there were thousands present. In addition - one of my fellow officers was kneed in the groin by a "peaceful protestor" as a camera crew were filming the from the chest up. The cop reacted and took the man down and the whole context in the media was of a cop violently arresting an innocent protestor. Only later when the "justice system" had taken its time to fully investigate and adjudicate the matter did the truth come out and the officer was exonerated. The "protestor" was part of an organized anarchist group that came from 2000 miles away to create chaos.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-63117734296233820382014-08-21T12:39:37.474-04:002014-08-21T12:39:37.474-04:00Yeah, it's all the fault of today's leftie...Yeah, it's all the fault of today's lefties, aka KKKK (Kool Kids Kommie Klub). That's why Africa's such a peaceful and serene garden spot, why Somalian pirates aren't hijacking boats, why Boko Haram isn't kidnapping young girls, why South Africans aren't beheading white farmers. Why, if those pesky liberals would just get out of the way black people would all be like Morgan Freeman, Official Black God. We can look to Africa as our proof.<br /><br />Blacks in America have been rioting, to a greater or lesser extent, since 1964. I'm not an apologist for black violence around the globe, but it's really not their fault. Blacks have higher levels of testosterone, which in turn leads to increased violent behavior. The sooner conservatives (and yes, libs too) recognize the incontrovertible biological underpinnings of America's black community, the sooner we may begin to address meaningful solutions like job training, reform of the generational welfare state, and an end to white guilt.<br /><br />P.S. Why didn't blacks in America riot prior to 1964? Same reason South Africa was much more stable during apartheid ... They got hung. Pretty powerful deterrent.<br /><br />P.S.2 - This part may be off the rails, but I believe in reincarnation, and thus I've been a black man. And I may be once again. I don't wanna step into all this outta-control shit during a future go-round, so I pray someone somewhere steps up to acknowledge and work within our racial and cultural differences, strengths and limitations, instead of just blaming Whitey, left and right, for all universal sins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-55177399129457416972014-08-21T11:59:14.777-04:002014-08-21T11:59:14.777-04:00Terrorists choose to exploit the divisions it cre...Terrorists choose to exploit the divisions it creates in its target societies long<br />after the initial event.

And Steyn rightly notes the sheer number of persons killed by the police in the US dwarf any other first world country. But Steyn has failed to note how many US police are killed in the line of duty by criminals in the US. The figure is in the hundreds and this also dwarfs any other first world country. We have a problem. We have a stable working middle class first world population and a growing welfare reliant poor violent third world population operating under the same law and under the same police.

If this cop is charged he won't have a fair trial or even an illusion of a fair trial.<br /><br />Sigh. The shooting death of an 18-year old kid is horrible but the second I see pictures of people rioting it takes a little of my compassion away. Well, not just the rioting but all of the looting. Some of these people are using this tragedy as an excuse to break into electronic stores and steal cell phones.<br /><br />Same thing happened with Katrina. I was worried when weather reports kept indicating that the storm was coming and would be devastating and there were real fears about the levy. Five days and nobody did a thing.<br /><br />Then the catastrophe hit and the second I saw video of people breaking into stores and stealing DVD players...my compassion went down a notch or two. Not only is the rioting counterproductive and destructive the victim gets totally lost.<br /><br />Rioting for the sake of rioting. Martin Luther King held peaceful protests and the civil rights abuses back then were 100x worse. Why can't these people (nothing racist implied by the phrase these people) but seriously: there are other options: yes, insist on a federal investigation, hold protest marches and the old fashioned "sit ins" but destroying property and stealing?<br /><br />Not to mention destroying their own communities and then put their collective hands out to the government to demand that they repair it...<br /><br />The tragic part is the dead kid has become incidental to the rioting, and the future and possibly freedom of this cop is also in danger. Between Obama and Holder what chance does he have for a fair trial?<br /><br />I don't know. I just don't get why tragedies are always an occasion to riot and steal.<br /><br /><br />KeliataAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
