God wants us to be happy. And for the better part, most of us are happy most of the time. At least those of us snuggled in our air conditioned homes with refrigerators are full of food – yeah, we are mostly happy.
When are we unhappy? When our child gets lost in the mall and we are scared to death? When a loved one passes away and we are in horrible mourning? When we are in imminent danger of dying ourselves, like during a heart attack? Or when someone has accosted or robbed us? That’s when we usually call to God, in that moment of grief. In other words, the only time God hears from most of us is when the shit hits the fan.
Cops are like that too. They only get called upon when the shit is hitting the fan. And when they respond they have no idea of what the situation is. It could be a simple yelling match between a man and wife or an active shooter scene. The police officer has no idea. He has to assess the scene in a matter of mere seconds. Which is why the police officer is given the authority to instruct people at scenes. Disobeying the police officer is not just illegal, but it is a huge marker showing that the non-compliant person is probably going to become violent. And when he shows signs of violence the use of force continuum goes into effect.
Most people do not know about the use of force continuum. That is the practice that allows the officer to use one step higher force than the force an offender is using. If an offender is acting belligerent then the officer may handcuff him. If he resists being handcuffed and fights the officer, the officer may use non-lethal force such as pepper spray, baton, or Tasers to incapacitate the offender. If the offender approaches an officer with a knife or other deadly weapon then the officer may resort to the highest level of force, deadly force. That would include shooting the suspect until the threat has ceased. Among other things. Like choking or hitting ther offender in the head with a baton. When deadly force is in play, and the officer is in fear of his own life or someone elses, he may use any force necessary to stop the threat.
Most of us go to our little cubicles or non-dangerous jobs everyday and don’t have to think about the things that police officers do. They don’t go to homes like OJ Simpson’s to socialize and have hoighty-toity parties. They go there because he just brutally murdered two people. Police officers only see the worst of the worst of our society, and those who have never been an officer have no idea how incredibly terribly heinous these offenders are.
Here’s some stats: According to the DOJ stats for 2012-2013, white violent offenders committed only 3.6% of their crimes against black victims. That does not show any kind of a trend toward white racist murders in our country. The number of white police officers who actually did commit murder against black victims is far below 3.6%, which tells me that the selection process for police officers is working.
Alternatively, violent black offenders committed over 40% of their crimes against other blacks, while simultaneously committing another 38% against white victims. What does that say? I don’t even know how to compute that except to say race doesn’t matter to them either – but they are far more prone to commit crime.
In fact although the black population in America comprises only about 20% of the population, 60% of all prisoners are black. We can pussyfoot around and say this or that, their childhood was horrible, they never had a chance because the “man” held them down, or white people are racists and that’s why more black people get put in prison. Or we can be honest and say that these black offenders grew up without fathers and have no sense of right and wrong.
When I hear Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama blame white police officers for shooting black offenders I just want to puke. They are pandering for black votes. And after 40 years of having the black vote, black repression has never been greater. The Democratic party has never done anything for black Americans except tell them the other guy hates them. 78% of black children born in Chicago since 2003 were born to single women. That is the President’s home town. Is that how they are taking care of blacks? Is that how “black leaders” are leading black families?
It doesn’t sound like leading to me. It sounds like absolute chaos. And when I hear BLM members shout “Kill Whitey” during a riot where a black officer killed an armed black suspect – it only confirms to me that chaos is the order of the Democratic way.
Stop throwing law and order under the bus for votes.
