Irony

We have no numbers, no polls to suggest what support the presidential candidacy of Hillary Clinton would have among police officers in America.  By police officers we mean just that – local, county, village, state, town and city cops.  We do have some very limited anecdotal input suggesting that it may not be too high.

Yet the cops are giving Hillary the keys to the white house.  How is that you ask?  Well, she doesn’t win unless she gets 90+% of the black vote and that 90% had darn well better be applied to a huge, perhaps record, turnout.  Ditto for the Latino vote. Ditto for America’s huge “victimization” crowd.
Keep busting heads, shooting unarmed petty criminals, insisting on your right to self protection, escalation and ultimate prevalence above all other considerations and alternatives and you don’t need to be a genius, or even a pollster to predict who will be your new president in January 2017.
Now some will claim this brief political opinion piece is misguided at best – anti cop and law and order at worst.  Such is the risk of writing the truth and the truth is Mrs. Clinton needs something to rile up the democrat base and keep it panting all the way through November 2016 and this cop issue is a lock on accomplishing her mission.
Is that ironical?

Have a good day.

Months or even years ago I wrote on this site that law and order would break down, anarchy would ensue and people would accept a dictator who can promise safety for the citizenry, even at the cost of their freedom.
We can see this coming closer simply by viewing the Ferguson and Garner messes. Who knew the armed military might local police forces had amassed until they rolled out their arsenal in Ferguson? Does any but the most naïve think for a minute that the cops wouldn't hesitate to use that might on citizens of any race if given the opportunity? The number of those killed by police goes up every year over 400 this year alone. Why do you suppose that is? Maybe they can get away with it, maybe not.
It's time we stop the idolatry of the police. It's time we hold them accountable. Killing a man for selling untaxed cigarettes? Am I the only one who sees the problem here?
Finally, I believe blacks in this country have legitimate concerns regarding the police in this country. But they should have selected a more appropriate case than that of Michael Brown, who, when it comes right down to it, was a thief, bully, drug user, and potential cop killer. Gentle giant my pitooty!
