The Big Lie of the Anti-Cop Left Turns Lethal
City-Journal ^ | 12-22-2014 | Heather Mac Donald

Posted on 12/22/2014 9:38:50 PM PST by tcrlaf

Since last summer, a lie has overtaken significant parts of the country, resulting in growing mass hysteria. That lie holds that the police pose a mortal threat to black Americans—indeed that the police are the greatest threat facing black Americans today. Several subsidiary untruths buttress that central myth: that the criminal-justice system is biased against blacks; that the black underclass doesn’t exist; and that crime rates are comparable between blacks and whites—leaving disproportionate police action in minority neighborhoods unexplained without reference to racism. The poisonous effect of those lies has now manifested itself in the cold-blooded assassination of two NYPD officers.

The highest reaches of American society promulgated these untruths and participated in the mass hysteria. Following a grand jury’s decision not to indict a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer for fatally shooting 18-year-old Michael Brown in August (Brown had attacked the officer and tried to grab his gun), President Barack Obama announced that blacks were right to believe that the criminal-justice system was often stacked against them. Obama has travelled around the country since then buttressing that message. Eric Holder escalated a long running theme of his tenure as U.S. Attorney General—that the police routinely engaged in racial profiling and needed federal intervention to police properly.

A very good explanation of how the American Left killed two cops in NYC. Unfortunately, it can't be condensed into an easily shoutable 3-5 word phrase, like "Hands Up, Don't Shoot", or "HOPE!", so very few will ever read it.

Especially those that need to.

The only good that can come out of this wrenching attack on civilization would be the delegitimation of the lie-based protest movement. Whether that will happen is uncertain.

It will not, and that is certain. The Narrative must not be contradicted with fact. There is a fundamental premise among the author and most decent people that the agitators, activists, and "community organizers" deplore this death. They do only insofar as it serves to diminish their power of unleashing terror on the public. We have a President and an Attorney General who delight in that terrorism and employ it at every opportunity, aided and abetted by media only too happy to report the bloody consequences and blame the victims. There is no misunderstanding here, no underlying decency, there is only raw power and a demand for obeisance.

Holder and obama must have decided that in order to get gun control back on the front burner they’d have to kill a copper or two.

Guess the theory that killing kids at Sandy Hook Elementary school didn't work out as planned

We can guess at their "motive" for baiting black mobs to attack not just white civilians but white cops, but that is what Obama, Holder, and their pot-stirring agitators are doing, but that is what Communist agitators have always done.

In the 1930's and 1930's their tactic was to howl up a cry for "civilian review boards" (dominated, of course, by their Communist comrades), and in fact several communities out on the Left Coast did establish such boards, which still exist. The object was to interdict police action against Communist organizers (such as the police arrest of Armand Hammer's father, Dr. Julius Hammer, who was an American Communist courier; the arrest by Baltimore police was on charges that he had performed an abortion, and it was intended to stop his meeting with V. I. Lenin in Moscow; Armand went instead).

Today, I think Obama's ultimate goal is the establishment of a minoritarian government of the United States that will routinely beat up white citizens until they rebel, at which point Obama or his successor will produce a Red Army that will crush, decimate, and murder by pogrom the 25,000,000 US citizens Bill Ayers talked about back in 1971.

Their last intermediate major goal, absolutely essential to the ultimate goal of international Communism, is to break the historical America that won two world wars and filled the world with the vision of prosperity and freedom that America was in the 1920's, 40's, and up to the 2008 market-melt.

Bottom line, Barack Obama and his fellow conspirators are about breaking things and people until they break a country, in order to discountenance the ideas and ideals that built it.
