Of course. Interestingly, long-term Democrat mayors, like the first Richard Daley, would not be tolerated by the left of today. He would most likely respond to violence with aggressive policing, and would be roundly denounced because of it.
If you incessantly tell people they are ‘put upon’, many will eventually believe it. We are seeing the results.
Facts mean nothing to the Left. The Narrative is the important story.
Yes, the ‘Democrats own it’ is true, but that won’t stop big media and public schools from blaming everything from white privilege to Donald Trump to income inequality.
You know the routine - if they can’t spin, they lie.
Why hasn’t the National Guard been deployed?
Why would a West Pointer want to be a cop?
Fleeing is grounds for being shot
The use of deadly force is required when feral beasts, infected with rabies (Demonicrat or otherwise), violently attack people.
When the politicians you elect stop supporting the police that maintain civil order, and start prosecuting the police for doing their jobs guess what happens. The police will, invariably, stop doing their jobs. They will be slower to respond, they will be slower to react, until they are reduced to simply filing crime reports.
We can already see the results of this in Baltimore, Chicago, and St. Louis. Look for all the chocolate cities to follow suit. Welcome to the new normal.
I really don't.
I say that as the father of a young man pursuing a degree in Crimial Justice & Law Enforcement who wants to be a LEO.
I wish he'd choose something else. I really do.
All these SOBs arrested for rioting/looting/throwing bricks and acid at police should lose their EBT Cards forever. No second chances. Hit ‘em where it hurts!
I have seen across the web, many folks asking:
Why the sudden increase these kinds of events (riots, protests, etc)
The better question would be “Who is paying for this? Just as the KGB funneled money into the Black Panther/Black Power organizations of the 60’s, this look very much like a repeat - only who is footing the bill this time?
