Ann Coulter: Would It Kill You To Hire More Black Cops? (Yes)

Ann Coulter August 27, 2014

As the story of Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson’s shooting of Michael Brown begins to look less clear-cut than we were led to believe by Brown’s friend, Dorian Johnson, the “voices of oppression” on MSNBC now say the real issue is that there aren’t enough blacks on the Ferguson police force.

As Brown may or may not have said seconds before his death: I give up.

If the Ferguson police are forced to hire more minorities and women for the sake of diversity, the one thing we can be sure of is that more black people will be murdered, raped and assaulted.

Someone’s got to say it, so it might as well be me: I’m against more black people being murdered, raped and assaulted.

In a massive, detailed 2000 study of the effect of court-ordered affirmative action plans on police departments, economist John Lott found that the more minorities on a police force, the higher the rates of murder, manslaughter, violent crime, robbery and aggravated assault will be. Violent crime increased by a minimum of 3.3 percent every year after affirmative action policies went into effect—and the spike in crime was highest in black neighborhoods.[Does a Helping Hand Put Others At Risk?: Affirmative Action, Police Departments, and Crime, Economic Inquiry, April 2000]

The problem was not with black cops, Lott’s study showed, but rather with the lowering of standards across the board, resulting in less-qualified officers of every race. To get more of MSNBC’s “voices of oppression” on police forces, requirements are reduced for all recruits. (Just as quality declined at MSNBC when “voices of oppression” had to be added to their lineup.)

We end up with cops who are criminals, ..

Is your question based on reading the article by Ann? Here is one excerpt to help you:

“If the Ferguson police are forced to hire more minorities and women for the sake of diversity, the one thing we can be sure of is that more black people will be murdered, raped and assaulted.”

Ann is AGAINST affirmative action.

A person is a person is a person. Ferguson doesn’t need more black cops. Ferguson needs more cops, period. (And less racist agitators/Obama/holder/sharpton/communists/islamoNazi scum stirring up racism and racial hatred. )

Ferguson needs to be written off as a lost cause.

Well, Ann Coulter is making a lot of sense and supporting her argument with facts. So I can only conclude that she is a racist./s

The only thing blacks want is a total hands-off policy. Then, they can run their illicit culture like the jungle they want.

A lot of what you say is correct but there are plenty of FR consensus attitudes that are simply wrong. For instance common sense does work in the inner city even if it needs to be imposed before the people get it.

Detroit emergency Manager Kevin Orr appointed police chief James Craig and Craig has driven astounding change in the 18 months he's been there. He promotes gun ownership as a primary crime prevention method. He tells the truth about the fact that police can prevent only a tiny fraction of crimes. He's cut response times from over an hour to under 15 minutes. The result is that the murder rate has dropped to a 20 year low when it was at an all time high as recently as 2008 (down 13% from last year.) Things like carjackings are down nearly 30% from last year. The people went from cursing their cops 18 months ago to literally standing around and applauding when they shut down a drug house.

The people also seem to have the sense to shop around for better schools now as well.

There are many good black families and black business owners in communities such as Ferguson but, sadly they are shouted down by Leftist agitators and race hustlers, with the willing accomplices in the media, which only allows the black gang thugs to take over and be the voice representing all of the black community.

I’ve been saying that as Detroit was the first city to hit rock-bottom, they will also be the first city to be renewed. The other cities are going to go through the same cycle, so Detroit is now ahead of the curve.

Those Chinese buying properties there might wind up making a killing in the end.

Live Media Updates** Media Declares America ‘a White Supremacist State’

Monday night the American Left looted and burned in Ferguson, Missouri. Tuesday morning the same American Media that stoked that violence is now licking wounds received with the revelation that the American criminal justice system runs on facts and science, and not Don Lemon’s feelings. Here’s how a bitterly disappointed media behaved the day after.

Republicans nationally would be wise to adopt Detroit as a project the way they have here in Michigan. They could show a stark contrast between 50 years of democrat rule as opposed to 4 years of aggressive republican control.

At the same time they could start leading a concentrated population of blacks off the democrat plantation. In turn, those freedmen can take the seeds nationwide as other cities collapse.

WATCH: What This Prominent Democrat TV Analyst Just Called Darren Wilson Is Beyond Outrageous

In what could reasonably be seen as an attempt to drive the dialogue as far left as the inflammatory rhetoric found on MSNBC — where a Democrat lawmaker provocatively declared a “race war” is underway — CNN continues pushing the black vs. white, protestors vs. police narrative in Ferguson and beyond.

Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson thanks supporters; lawyers laud grand jury decision

Published November 25, 2014
Associated Press

FERGUSON, Mo. – Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson has thanked those who have supported him since he shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown during a confrontation in August.

Wilson’s lawyers issued a statement Tuesday in which they say the 28-year-old officer and his family greatly appreciate the continued support of those who have stood by him.

Violent protests erupted Monday night after it was announced that a grand jury that spent months examining the case decided not to indict the white officer in the death of Brown, who was black and unarmed.

Wilson’s lawyers say they believe the jury’s decision was right and note that officers often must make “split-second and difficult decisions.”

I'm not a big fella, but an old woman. I'm glad that Ann is still "drool-able" even if she does PUNDIT with things that FReepers might not like.

She has guts and for that I applaud her. Lol.
It's the ole "kobayashi maru" test. Ann is attractive but mouthy. She can't always please everyone.

TN4Bush,

No offense taken.

I am talking in general, not about this post in particular.

Coulter used to be reliably conservative on all issues. Now, not so much.

I was inquiring about when and why she derailed from being a rock solid conservative.
