"This sort of thing happens with 'depressing regularity' in cities where even the most liberal residents have to choose between police overreach and being murdered...... It never leads to meaningful debate or a resolution, ......instead it peters out with the best actors in the grievance theater picking up money and influence,..... the media selling a few more papers or ads for allergy relief on the drive time news and everything going back to the way it was.
The grievance theater is never really about the specific case, the specific shooting,..... it's about the links between the social problems of the black community, .....the compromises of civil liberties necessary to keep entire cities from turning into Detroit and the inability of the media to address the sources of crime as anything but the phantoms of white racism. .....It's about a black leadership that is more interested in posturing as angry activists and shaking loose some money than in healing the problems of their own communities.............................2013 Daniel Greenfield
