The External Cost of One Minnesota Cop Is Very High

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Antifa blacks, an outfit of the Democrat Party, went on a looting and burning rampage in Atlanta. The female police chief and female mayor let it happen the first night.  The female police chief protected the police rather than the city.  She changed her mind when the governor sent in the National Guard. She reports that the police have learned that the protests in Atlanta of George Floyd’s death at the hands of police in Minnesota were infiltrated by “terrorists who came to destroy not protest” and declared a policy of non-toleration of violence.

Law and order whites don’t comprehend that their toleration of gratuitous police violence against members of the public—often outright murder—is not in their interest, especially when white liberals have been teaching blacks to hate white people for decades.  The power and influence of whites in society is collapsing because they did not stand up for justice and accountability.

This time multi-city violent protests are occurring despite the imposition of accountability.  The police officer was arrested.  This is a change from the past when protesters were enraged by the free pass given to police. It is a sign of worsening race relations.

Blacks are developing a solidarity while whites are split into many opposing factions.  As of this time three other states have had to call out their National Guard to protect property and people against violence. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/500306-more-states-mobilize-their-national-guards-as-george-floyd-protests

Police violence against the public actually has more white victims than black.  One difference is that white people stand for it and black people no longer do.  Blacks see the police violence as racism.  If white people protested police violence against whites, blacks might see the problem for what it really is—bullies and psychopaths who enjoy the exercise of power and are not held accountable.  All Americans need to unite in opposition to the misuse of authority that has become rampant in our society.

The problem goes far beyond police violence. In the 21st century we have had a white president who declared his power to detain citizens indefinitely without charges despite the Constitution’s prohibition, and we have had a black president who declared his power to execute citizens on suspicion of being a terrorist without due process of law.  Other violations of the Constitution are now commonplace such as spying and home intrusions without warrants and routine violations of privacy.  Congress, the judiciary, and the media have proved to be no barrier to the construction of a police state.

The Identity Politics championed by Democrats makes unity impossible while the toleration of Constitutional violations in the name of national security by both political parties undermines our liberty that is based on government accountability.  America, now a diverse multicultural entity, needs unity, but it is becoming a Tower of Babel.

The outcome of this is predictable.

The police officer was arrested.

I’ve seen no evidence of this. Could the author be misinformed?

The author is a Reagan administration hack turned boomer-tard columnist.

He is misinformed almost by definition.

Since 1982, the doctrine of “sovereign immunity” was expanded to cover almost every government official by the U S Supreme Court.

This was a big mistake, as it removed responsibility for official actions from those who are supposed to be our “public servants”.

Regardless of behavior, it is almost impossible to personally sue any government official for acts that they perform as a part of their official duties.

This expansion of “the king can do no wrong” “official immunity” doctrine has done more to enable abusive behavior by government officials “under color of authority” than any other.

It is possible to sue public officials for “deprivation of civil rights” but the bar is set so high that it is almost impossible to prevail in such cases.

In many cases, judges routinely throw out such cases, citing “lack of standing to sue” or just by invoking the “sovereign immunity” privilege.

When the few successful lawsuits are filed against public officials, their municipalities usually pay out awards from taxpayer coffers in order to avoid an extensive trial. It is less expensive to pay out a claim than to be subject to a costly court trial.

“Official immunity” is derived from “the divine right of kings” and has no place in any society. When it comes to public officials, “equal justice under law” must be the norm, not the exception.

Abolish “official immunity” for ALL public officials.

Antifa is no agent of anyone or anything. Angry anarchists don’t carry membership cards. Happy anarchist don’t carry them either, but the chances of finding a happy one to ask is quite small. Sometimes rather than writing bullshit it’s better to remain silent and observe.

Look into the life of Buenaventura Durruti; it may soon become relevant again.

Interesting guy. Spain had an anarchist political party. I lived there during the final Franco years and for a long time after. I’ve wondered more than once how I’d have felt about Durruti had I been a dirt poor Spaniard back then, but I wasn’t one and my second wife’s uncle was a Franco general, so it was a topic that rarely came up.

then perhaps you better remain silent and observe.
“antifa is no agent of anyone” is a lilly-livered idealist dream.

they are absolutely influenced by many outside sources with organized interests.
actions are membership cards. get real.

Have to disagree with the other Anonymous.
One particular Antifa supporter happens to be AG Ellison’s warped son who is a member of the local city council in said problem area right now. No need for a card, just hand them money and support to show what you really are.
