Guest Post by John W. Whitehead
“If you don’t want to get shot, tased, pepper-sprayed, struck with a baton or thrown to the ground, just do what I tell you. Don’t argue with me, don’t call me names, don’t tell me that I can’t stop you, don’t say I’m a racist pig, don’t threaten that you’ll sue me and take away my badge. Don’t scream at me that you pay my salary, and don’t even think of aggressively walking towards me.”—Officer with the Los Angeles Police Department
Americans aren’t dying at the hands of police because of racism.
For that matter, George Floyd didn’t die because he was black and the cop who killed him is white.
Floyd, who died after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes, died because America is being overrun with militarized cops—vigilantes with a badge—who have almost absolute discretion to decide who is a threat, what constitutes resistance, and how harshly they can deal with the citizens they were appointed to “serve and protect.”
These warrior cops may get paid by the citizenry, but they don’t work for us and they certainly aren’t operating within the limits of the U.S. Constitution. As retired Philadelphia police captain Ray Lewis warns, “The system is corrupt. Police really are oppressing not only the black community, but also the whites. They’re an oppressive organization now controlled by the one percent of corporate America. Corporate America is using police forces as their mercenaries.”
Now, not all cops are guns for hire, trained to act as judge, jury and executioner in their interactions with the populace.
However, the unfortunate reality we must come to terms with is that the good cops—the ones who take seriously their oath of office to serve and protect their fellow citizens, uphold the Constitution, and maintain the peace—are increasingly being outnumbered by those who believe the lives (and rights) of police should be valued more than citizens.
It doesn’t matter where you live—big city or small town—it’s the same scenario being played out over and over again in which government agents, hyped up on their own authority and the power of their uniform, ride roughshod over the rights of the citizenry.
Indeed, if you ask police and their enablers what Americans should do to stay alive during encounters with law enforcement, they will tell you to comply, cooperate, obey, not resist, not argue, not make threatening gestures or statements, avoid sudden movements, and submit to a search of their person and belongings during encounters with the police.
In other words, it doesn’t matter if you’re in the right, it doesn’t matter if a cop is in the wrong, it doesn’t matter if you’re being treated with less than the respect you deserve: if you want to emerge from a police encounter with your life and body intact, then you’d better comply, submit, obey orders, respect authority and generally do whatever a cop tells you to do.
In this way, the old police motto to “protect and serve” has become “comply or die.”
This is the unfortunate, misguided, perverse message that has been beaten, shot, tasered and slammed into our collective consciousness over the past few decades, and it has taken root.
This is how we have gone from a nation of laws—where the least among us had just as much right to be treated with dignity and respect as the next person (in principle, at least)—to a nation of law enforcers (revenue collectors with weapons) who treat “we the people” like suspects and criminals.
As a result, Americans as young as 4 years old are being leg shackled, handcuffed, tasered and held at gun point for not being quiet, not being orderly and just being childlike—i.e., not being compliant enough.
Americans as old as 95 are being beaten, shot and killed for questioning an order, hesitating in the face of a directive, and mistaking a policeman crashing through their door for a criminal breaking into their home—i.e., not being submissive enough.
And Americans of every age and skin color are continuing to die at the hands of a government that sees itself as judge, jury and executioner over a populace that have been pre-judged and found guilty, stripped of their rights, and left to suffer at the hands of government agents trained to respond with the utmost degree of violence.
At a time when growing numbers of unarmed people have been shot and killed for just standing a certain way, or moving a certain way, or holding something—anything—that police could misinterpret to be a gun, or igniting some trigger-centric fear in a police officer’s mind that has nothing to do with an actual threat to their safety, even the most benign encounters with police can have fatal consequences.
The problem, as one reporter rightly concluded, is “not that life has gotten that much more dangerous, it’s that authorities have chosen to respond to even innocent situations as if they were in a warzone.”
Worse, militarized police increasingly pose a risk to anyone undergoing a mental health crisis or with special needs whose disabilities may not be immediately apparent or require more finesse than the typical freeze-or-I’ll-shoot tactics employed by America’s police forces. Indeed, disabled individuals make up a third to half of all people killed by law enforcement officers. (People of color are three times more likely to be killed by police than their white counterparts.)
If you’re black and disabled, you’re even more vulnerable.
Specifically, what we’re dealing with today is a skewed shoot-to-kill mindset in which police, trained to view themselves as warriors or soldiers in a war, whether against drugs, or terror, or crime, must “get” the bad guys—i.e., anyone who is a potential target—before the bad guys get them.
This nationwide epidemic of court-sanctioned police violence carried out with impunity against individuals posing little or no real threat has all but guaranteed that unarmed Americans will keep dying at the hands of militarized police.
Consider just some of the scenarios in which unarmed Americans have been shot and killed by police:
Killed for taking public transit. Oscar Grant, traveling home on a train packed with New Year’s Eve revelers, was pulled off the train while police investigated reports of fighting, shoved against a wall, punched in the head, kneed in the face, then shot and killed by police while lying face down on a train platform.
Killed for standing in a “shooting stance.” In California, police opened fire on and killed a mentally challenged—unarmed—black man within minutes of arriving on the scene, allegedly because he removed a vape smoking device from his pocket and took a “shooting stance.”
Killed for holding a cell phone. Police in Arizona shot a man who was running away from U.S. Marshals after he refused to drop an object that turned out to be a cellphone.
Killed for displaying air fresheners from a rearview mirror. Daunte Wright was shot and killed during a traffic stop over an expired registration and a state law prohibiting motorists from hanging air fresheners and other items from their rearview mirrors. Police claimed to have mistakenly used a gun instead of a Taser.
Killed for behaving oddly and holding a baseball bat. Responding to a domestic disturbance call, Chicago police shot and killed 19-year-old college student Quintonio LeGrier who had reportedly been experiencing mental health problems and was carrying a baseball bat around the apartment where he and his father lived.
Killed for opening the front door. Bettie Jones, who lived on the floor below LeGrier, was also fatally shot—this time, accidentally—when she attempted to open the front door for police.
Killed for being a child in a car pursued by police. Jeremy David Mardis, six years old and autistic, died after being shot multiple times by Louisiana police in the head and torso. Police opened fire on the car—driven by Jeremy’s father, Chris Few, who was also shot—and then allegedly lied, claiming that they were attempting to deliver an outstanding warrant, that Few resisted arrest, that he shot at police (no gun was found), and that he tried to ram his car into a police cruiser. Body camera footage refuted the police’s claims.
Killed for approaching police with a metal spoon. In Alabama, police shot and killed a 50-year-old man who reportedly charged a police officer while holding “a large metal spoon in a threatening manner.”
Killed for holding a tree branch. Georgia police shot and killed a 47-year-old man wearing only shorts and tennis shoes who, when first encountered, was sitting in the woods against a tree, only to start running towards police holding a stick in an “aggressive manner.”
Killed for crawling around naked. Atlanta police shot and killed an unarmed man who was reported to have been “acting deranged, knocking on doors, crawling around on the ground naked.” Police fired two shots at the man after he reportedly starting running towards them.
Killed for hunching over. Responding to a domestic trouble call, multiple officers with the Baltimore County police forced their way inside a home where they proceeded to open fire on an unarmed 41-year-old man who was hunched over in a defensive posture. The man was killed in front of his two young daughters and their mother.
Killed because a police officer accidentally pulled out his gun instead of his taser. An Oklahoma man suspected of trying to sell an illegal handgun was shot and killed after a 73-year-old reserve deputy inadvertently fired his gun instead of his taser. “Oh! I shot him! I’m sorry!” the deputy cried out.
Killed for wearing dark pants and a basketball jersey. Donnell Thompson, a mentally disabled 27-year-old described as gentle and shy, was shot and killed after police—searching for a carjacking suspect reportedly wearing similar clothing—encountered him lying motionless in a neighborhood yard. Police “only” opened fire with an M4 rifle after Thompson first failed to respond to their flash bang grenades and then started running after being hit by foam bullets.
Killed for telling police you lawfully own a firearm. Philando Castile was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop allegedly over a broken tail light. As he was reaching for his license and registration, Castile explained to police that he had a conceal-and-carry permit. That’s all it took for police to shoot Castile four times in the presence of his girlfriend and her 4-year-old daughter.
Killed for leaving anywhere at all when a police officer pulls up. Deravis Caine Rogers was killed after starting to drive away from an apartment complex right around the same time as a police officer pulled up. Despite the fact that the police officer had no reason to believe Rogers was a threat or was suspected of any illegal activity, the officer fired into Rogers’ passenger side window.
Killed for driving while deaf. In North Carolina, a state trooper shot and killed 29-year-old Daniel K. Harris—who was deaf—after Harris initially failed to pull over during a traffic stop.
Killed for shopping at Walmart. John Crawford III was shot and killed by police responding to reports of an armed man in an Ohio Walmart. Crawford, shopping and talking on his phone, had been holding an unpackaged pellet gun that had been sitting on a store shelf.
Killed for being homeless. Los Angeles police shot an unarmed homeless man after he failed to stop riding his bicycle and then proceeded to run from police.
Killed for brandishing a shoehorn. John Wrana, a 95-year-old World War II veteran, lived in an assisted living center, used a walker to get around, and was shot and killed by police who mistook the shoehorn in his hand for a 2-foot-long machete and fired multiple beanbag rounds from a shotgun at close range.
Killed for playing in a park. Tamir Rice was shot and killed in an Ohio park when a police officer mistook the 12-year-old’s toy airsoft pistol for a real gun.
Killed for having your car break down on the road. Terence Crutcher, unarmed and black, was shot and killed by Oklahoma police after his car broke down on the side of the road. Crutcher was shot in the back while walking towards his car with his hands up.
Killed for being in your own apartment. Botham Jean was shot and killed when a police officer entered Jean’s unlocked apartment, mistaking it for her own and mistaking Jean for a burglar.
Killed for staying up late. Atatiana Jefferson, up late playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew, was shot and killed after neighbors who were concerned about that the lights were on in the house asked police to do a wellness check.
Killed for holding a garden hose. California police were ordered to pay $6.5 million after they opened fire on a man holding a garden hose, believing it to be a gun. Douglas Zerby was shot 12 times and pronounced dead on the scene.
This is what constitutes “law and order” in the American police state.
Making matters worse, when these officers, who have long since ceased to be peace officers, violate their oaths by bullying, beating, tasering, shooting and killing their employers—the taxpayers to whom they owe their allegiance—they are rarely given more than a slap on the hands before resuming their patrols.
This lawlessness on the part of law enforcement, an unmistakable characteristic of a police state, is made possible in large part by police unions which routinely oppose civilian review boards and resist the placement of names and badge numbers on officer uniforms; police agencies that abide by the Blue Code of Silence, the quiet understanding among police that they should not implicate their colleagues for their crimes and misconduct; prosecutors who treat police offenses with greater leniency than civilian offenses; courts that sanction police wrongdoing in the name of security; and legislatures that enhance the power, reach and arsenal of the police, and a citizenry that fails to hold its government accountable to the rule of law.
Indeed, not only are cops protected from most charges of wrongdoing—whether it’s shooting unarmed citizens (including children and old people), raping and abusing young women, falsifying police reports, trafficking drugs, or soliciting sex with minors—but even on the rare occasions when they are fired for misconduct, it’s only a matter of time before they get re-hired again.
Much of the “credit” for shielding these rogue cops goes to influential police unions and laws providing for qualified immunity, police contracts that “provide a shield of protection to officers accused of misdeeds and erect barriers to residents complaining of abuse,” state and federal laws that allow police to walk away without paying a dime for their wrongdoing, and rampant cronyism among government bureaucrats.
It’s happening all across the country.
This is how perverse justice in America has become.
If you’re starting to feel somewhat overwhelmed, intimidated and fearful for your life and your property, you should be, because as I point out in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the only truly compliant, submissive and obedient citizen in a police state is a dead one.

Except the cop didn’t kneel on Floyd’s neck, a different camera angle shown during the trial proved that. And the coroner’s report proved he died from a huge fentayl overdose. What closet has this guy been in? Or he just gets his news from CNN?
I stopped reading after the Whitehead’s initial false premise. What ever points may have followed, I no longer have time for authors that virtue signal to the left before making their point.
It is such a feeling of liberation not to wear a mask. Others will give you the evil eye because you are not virtue signaling in the proper way. They may even suspect that you are a Trump supporter. I am absolutely horrified to see Senior Citizens in their 70’s, 80’s and 90’s struggling to breathe as they negotiate the grocery store isles. It is nothing less than mass murder. Unbelievable.
Well, I agree with the author. The cops have become more militant, more aggressive and more violent. They kill family pets, kill children next to the pet, attack the wrong house, use SWAT for minor crimes and are generally more of a danger to the public than your average criminal whom they don’t even apprehend most of the time.
Chauvin stood there with his hand in his pocket, kneeling on a prostrate, handcuffed man for almost ten minutes. Regardless of what happened beforehand, it was apparent that Floyd wasn’t dangerous at that point and Chauvin should have climbed off him instead of staring deadpan into the camera while Floyd was saying he couldn’t breathe.
I don’t agree with anything that happened before and during the trial either. There are no winners here, except for the usual race baiters and shit stirrers looking to turn a bad situation into something personally profitable.
Cops are dangerous and out of control. Ditto for the democrats and BLM mobs and leftist politicians pushing the leftist agendas. Note how the cops arrest the Proud Boys and let the Antifa and BLM pukes run free. The cops are the authors of their own misery by being nothing more than enforcers for the leftist agendas while going apeshit on ordinary citizens.
Mygirl, I’ve been on the fence about Chauvin. I gave you a thumbs up on 3 different devices.
Whatever you believe about George Floyd who was less than a good citizen making what he did before entirely relevant (do you think the cops knew him and had dealt with him before). Also he had a fatal dose of fentanyl in his system which causes respiratory failure. Officer Chauvin was simply implementing his training. His knee on Chauvin’s neck was what he was trained to do. This Cop would never have been convicted if the case was held in another venue. The problem is that all cops are not bad. In fact most are very good and are trying to enforce the law and protect the public. That is the job they have been trained to do.What do you propose to replace the rule of law with? In most cases when a person is shot they are in the midst of committing a crime. How, for example, would you handle a person who is armed and in the act of attacking another person? I use this example because it happens often. Are we just simply to ignore crime and let it consume our cities and communities. How do you propose to protect law abiding citizens? ‘Systemic racism’ is a chimera that does not exist. It has been created by outside globalist forces to sew discord between the races and instigate a race war. It is pathetically obvious what is being done and we should not fall for it. If American was ‘systemically’ racist then how did Barack Obama win the Presidency twice? The only systemic racism in America today is the racism being practiced in academia, the media and government against white people. How did Susan Rice rise to such a position of power? Kamala Harris, Condalezza Rice, Colin Powell? Were they the victims of systemic racism? No, on the contrary, they would not use that as an excuse for failure. They simply chose to rise above their circumstances whatever they were. It is a myth that white people are privileged. Do you not think that white people have struggles too? We’re all equally mortal by the way. Do you not think that implies a struggle?
I agonize over children wearing the damn masks when they are outside.
Over whether they should or shouldn’t wear them outside? They shouldn’t even be wearing them inside.
it’s sick, dangerous and criminal.
Systemic racism is the weaponization of victimhood.
If you wants to see LOTS of pictures and vids of Kneegrows and White Libfuks celebrating, Derek in his orange jumpsuit, Derek’s hot wife (now ex-wife), Hollyweird celebrity reactions, Al Sharpton crying for joy …. and much moar …

Wow. That’s seems to go against ALL the actual forensic evidence. Not that facts matter, you see.
I can understand why folks have the knee-jerk reaction of –“I stopped reading …”. But, you should keep reading because he does a decent job of documenting many other legitimate (imho) Copfuk Moments.

Speaking of copfuks …
Shouldn’t we consider whether or not Derek was a copfuk? Note: I’m not saying his guilt or innocence should be based on his copfukery!
Nevertheless, I believe none of you would like him based on what his record indicates (IF the article below is accurate). He has 24 complaints against him, and even fellow Men In Blue thought he was a loose cannon.
Decide for yourself ….

BS! Floyd just needed to comply with reasonable requests from the cops. He could have just sat in the cop car and deescalated the whole situation. Except he was higher than a kite and stupid.
Any “good” cop who witnesses the “bad” cops doing wrong and doesn’t speak up is worse than the “bad” cops.
America should have a bad cop registry. If BLM can doxx the jury shouldn’t copfucks be doxxed as well?
Former cop telling people to not get a conceal carry license…too bad he’s no longer a cop since he is what a cop should be….
Thanks for posting. I have hesitated to get one for the same reasons he points out. Sort of a little validation on my stance from a credible source
Came across this video post several weeks ago. First time that I ever heard anyone but myself say that a CCL is the ticket to a Red Flag visit someday…and prolly sooner than most can imagine.

Anyone with a brain now knows that black people are immune from prosecution, regardless of what kinds of crime they commit. They are the protected class. It is probably wise to avoid black people whenever and wherever possible. There are many really nice black people but unfortunately the loud and obnoxious ones outnumber them and you don’t know who’s ok and who’s not.
Best to keep Grey Man status going forward and…..
They are the designated Amerikan Proletariat. Our Amerikan Dictatorship of the Proletariat is simply empowering and protecting them from the wicked white Amerikan bourgeoises. No sarc intended.
Why buy one? Just take one over!!

Smart people will do whatever possible to leave these Urban Amerikan Utopias. They won’t like being trapped with ‘them’ when the Pilgrims surround and lay siege.
So what came first? The bad cops or the plague of mostly minorities in general or cohort of drug-addled white folks committing crime and generally being parasites on the rest of us?
Now the cops have become just another class of criminal that specializes in “hut, hut, hut!”….and Order out of Chaos is the operational theory for the leftists.
When you stand back and look at the broader picture the mosaic pieces fall into place showing the now obvious plan of the left to destroy America from within, pitting all segments of society against each other…..so that the machinations of the elite are obscured.
It would be great if the cops quit en masse, let’s just get to Spicy Time so we can purge the country and rebuild.

The usurpers in the White House are now decrying how that poor innocent little black girl was killed by the evil white cop. No mention of the knife or how she was fixing to stab another poor little innocent black girl in the throat nor any mention of how that ‘little’ child topped the scales at over 200lbs. and was bigger than a yearling calf.

When gov’t lies about all things big and small, what do we have?
Can’t talk that way about our betters.
Columbus, Ohio, is one of the biggest Democrat Shithole cities there is. Everyone knows that if you have to go anywhere in Columbus, you first look at the crime map and avoid the hotspots, which comprise about the whole damn south central part of it.
U of Ohio and state crapital. Is Cincin, Akron, Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton really appreciably better?
Cincinnati is another shithole where you have to peek at a crime map before you go there. Dayton, too. You’re right, they’re all bad!
Louisville, Kentucky, is a big shithole. It’s a prima donna one, in that, they actually elect Bolshevk Jews to run their government.
The last time I was there was in 2008, down by the Brown Hotel. That’s where I nearly got run down by some crazy Mexicans fighting right there, in front of hundreds of people.
A white Ford van was speeding down the street. The driver and passenger were Hispanics, and so was the one on the hood, clutching the windshield wipers hoping he wouldn’t lose grip. The driver ran that van up on the sidewalk, and when he hit the curb, Windshield Wiper Pablo lost grip and hit the pavement. He must have rolled a dozen times. The beat cop standing right there just stood there while they sped off, and everyone went back to talking.
I haven’t been back since then.
Very few american cities over 250k are worth a shiite. And they all have a cadre’ of gimmiedats that lower the value therein. Even our county seat of 1,600 people bear this out. The county has approx. 1% of a certain demographic, but the county seat’s population is 7% gimmieDat. congregate where their lifestyle is programmed and nurtured.
Pope Francis doesn’t support said position. Neither does Pelosi, Durban, or the dead Kennedys. ;0
That cop is probably wishing he had slowed down getting to that particular disturbance and just let nature take its course. If you are a white man or woman still working in a big city police department on the enforcement side, then you are a fool.
Another Whitehead example of muddled thinking, although virtually every word he wrote is true. He scrupulously avoids casting any blame where it really belongs: The descent of the USA into a multi-racial mess. Of course, the spinelessness of our political and judicial “leaders” make it worse as we stagger towards a semi-Marxist, identity politics tyranny.
I have no beef with his account of out of control cops. We all know that both the nature of police and the kind of people in the police have changed, and not for the better. I am not going to defend the bad cops. They make their own reputation. I have had only one unpleasant encounter with a cop in my life (among many). In all other cases the cops were polite and professional. In one instance, one of my kids was having an emotional crisis and they had to come to the house.. The cops could not have been kinder and more understanding. They calmed him down and explained that if he went to the hospital with my wife there would be no record of it and things would be fine. He calmed down and things turned out well. The unpleasant one was when a deputy yelled at me for crossing a solid white line while waiting in line to pick my kids up from school. I got over it..
Let me be blunt. American society is collapsing and we expect the police to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. They can’t. A country that refuses to accept the total implosion of black America – caused by leftist hate and absurd liberal social policies – and the resulting pathologies (pre-ordained in most cases by genetics) is sticking its head in the sand.
Regarding the militarization of the police, I place much of the blame squarely at the influence of the Israelis and thuggish American law enforcement officials. The Israelis have played a nefarious role in making our police view the general public much as they view the Palestinians. While the hand is largely hidden, it is there is you care to look for it. The hiring and promotion of men unfit to be peace officers due to their character and temperament is also to blame.
When I first started hearing cops refer to citizens as “civilians”, I was puzzled. As a former Marine officer, I knew very well that if you are not a member of the armed forces, you are a civilian. Our cops are civilians, members of the community, as they should be. Having worked in many countries where the police are formal members of the armed forces I know the difference. The police are, of course, an armed force and in international law are recognized as a paramilitary force. In wartime the police can be viewed as either adjuncts to the military or not. For example, when we invaded Germany after World War II, the local German police were for the most part left in place, as a civilian police force, even though some German police units were active combatants. Our police are civilians and we should be thankful for that. This used to be understood by all Americans. Not now. I cringe when I see police in green semi-military uniforms with long arms. I fully understand the need for special police units to deal with emergencies (SWAT, for example) but as a rule they should stick to normal police garb and be proud of it.
Unfortunately, that cat is not going to walked back. The disgraceful words of Biden with reference to the Chauvin trial are another marker on the path to widespread disorder on our streets. The result will be a drastic decline in the quality of police recruits, the departure of older, more mature and steady cops, and a growing reluctance to confront dangerous criminals. The new cops will feel they have to impose their authority on somebody and it won’t be armed and drugged out blacks. They will increasingly target middle class Americans, or nobody at all. This will ignite a vicious cycle of loss of support for the police at the very time that civil conflict approaches. This is an ugly scenario.
The hiring of more women and so-called minorities will worsen the situation by an order of magnitude. Women have no business being cops in America except in narrowly defined areas. Patrol cops? No way. To send women out on the mean streets to deal with violent criminals is to invite disaster. Size does matter, as does aggression, both traits lacking in women. Is it any wonder they end up shooting and killing people when a male cops would merely overpower them with a nightstick? Their presence in the police, as in the military, demoralizes the men and erodes the élan and team spirit needed in any such organizations.
As for minorities, especially blacks, some are excellent cops. That being said, these men will soon be placed in an unbearable position of divided loyalties. Study the history of the Royal Irish Constabulary in the Irish Rebellion and you will see what I mean.
We are headed for vigilantism and local informal law enforcement. I have seen that up close. You think Chauvin kneeling on Floyd’s neck was bad? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
The Crips and Blood will have a better chance at being L&E before most whites from now on.
You just had to drag Israelis/Jews into your screed. Fck you long and hard. xxoo
fck you 2 (at least) too.
He’s right, though, you fucking moron.
People like you make Christians seem like the most unimaginable wretched, pathetic, weak effete creation ever. Tell it to the Pope. He must also be a Jew.
Who in God’s name is this hare-lipped big trotter FalconFlight? An extra from Deliverance? Whew!
Is dat yer best? Me thinks yes.
You idiot. I did not mention Jews. I said Israel, a foreign country. You clearly are unaware of Israeli influence in our government, miltary, police, and foreign affairs. American Jews are not Israelis, you dumb shit.
Talk about the whole gambit of American so-called Christians; from Catholic to Presbyterians, from the Episcopalians to the Lutherans and Methodists and the Evangelical types, like Obama’s Church of Christ…they are driving our exile, not a few JINO Jews. Does anyone ever say the Catholic Pelosi, Cuomo, Durban, Kennedys or the others, etc. ect. ? No
You really are a moron. If you are so ass blasted about the hook noses getting, well deserved, criticism then this is the wrong website for you.
Does anyone ever say the Catholic Pelosi, Cuomo, Durban, Kennedys or the others, etc. ect. ? No
Yes, as a matter of fact — I’ve seen articles critisizing catholic clergy for allowing Pelousi and Cuomo to receive communion despite being pro-abortion. Apparently you don’t read enough…
I don’t think the country is going to hold together much longer. It will likely be an economic cataclysm, perhaps combined with a military disaster, that will speed it up. Either way, when the Government suck tit runs dry, there will be chaos, especially where there is already disorder.
Places otherwise known as Flyover Country will face hard and lean times, but there will be order. The urban areas will be places no one will remain at, and many will return to extended family who hail from small town or rural America. There’s already people coming back to where I live. Their children speak in Non-Appalachian dialects , but their parents do, sort of. I ran into a kid one time who had a very distinct Bronx accent, and he said he already loved the quietness and relative peace of the place his mother came from.
There’s no stampede outta either MSP or Portland, especially on a political basis. jmho per what I’ve been able to gleen. DFW or Austin isn’t appreciably Moar politically conservative than the above two cities, and they’re exploding in population growth. Taxation is the driver in their growth.
They are running from taxes and carting their shitty ideologies with them.
With metaphysical certitude.
Who ever said those people had a lick of sense? And that’s good- would anyone want these people moving to their town? They’re just moving from one shithole skillet and jumping into the fire. When The Meltdown commences, no one will want to go to those places. They’ll be praying to get out alive.
Down here in S. Texas the cartels are making serious inroads into the state. Ranchers have to deal with heavily armed men crossing their land, the illegals themselves are stealing what ever, leaving gates open, killing cattle and guard dogs and setting fires. It is a war zone and the fraud in the White House openly encourages this shit.
There was one illegal whom they caught and trussed up, he was carting a stick with a nail in it to use on the dog. That illegal was lucky, they called Border Patrol. Soon there won’t be any phone calls, just some really fat buzzards and hogs scooting about.
Remember when “W” s DOJ bankrupted a border ranch owner who dared to protect his property/family and perform a citizen’s arrest?
Bush’s “handling” of the border is what made the scales fall from my eyes regarding Republicans/Left-Right paradigm. I realized George W Bush was a fucking TRAITOR. I began to see ever more clearly after that realization. Seems like forever ago.
Yeah, it is kinda ironic that, in general, Cops, Robbers, and Rapists always promise that if you’d just stop resisting, you won’t get hurt. And, often, that simply is not the case.
I was in the barbershop today and a few otherwise normal people voiced their displeasure about the local cops are speaking to citizens who are perfectly innocuous normal people. Everybody it seems has a story to tell. Wait until Washington D.C. turns most gun owning citizens into felons. When the police start gleefully tearing every car apart they pull over hoping to make their very own Federal felony arrest, it won’t be long before they start getting popped just driving down the road or sitting in a parking lot playing with their phones.
Systemic racism is the weaponization of victimhood. It does not exist. Except where academic institutions, corporations, news media and governments are creating the false image of ‘white supremacy.’ That is systemic racism.
