The local officials are working embarrassingly hard to dispel any notion that race was the *primary* factor in this mob violence. It wasn't 30 people, they weren't just "teens".
I don't know how these people, including the police chief can keep a straight face saying what they are saying. It would be funny if it were not so sickening and pathetic. They are guaranteeing repeats of this.
The local politicos get instantly constipated by fear when the local [racist, black] "activists" say *anything*.
When the intended victims of these feral animals start fighting back, it's going to get ugly and bloody. And they had better realize that once the fighting back starts, there can be no back tracking.
“I don’t know how these people, including the police chief can keep a straight face saying what they are saying.”
I know: Police depts. are Politically Correct organizations that test all responses for alignment with the Order of the day. This has been the case for 40 yrs now. No matter how non-sensical, illogical, immoral or stupid a position is they conduct themselves according to the political imperative in operation. This bifurcation of the mind allows them to both violate common sense and enjoy a sense of propriety and justification.
Not even a fellow officers LIFE comes before Political considerations.
In short: They’ve sold their souls to the father of lies.
