What if Darrell Brooks had been shot dead by police officers while fleeing a felony in Waukesha, Wis., Sunday afternoon — and never got near that tragic city’s Christmas parade?
Would the nation’s cities be in flames once again?
Odds are the answer is yes — and that sad but entirely reasonable projection speaks loudly to the deranged state of law enforcement in America today.
And, in particular, to the nation’s bewildering inability — make that unwillingness — to confront the chaos and lethal violence now plaguing its cities.
Brooks was charged with five counts of murder Monday as Wisconsin officials and others attempted to come to terms with their singular calamity.
Officials say that Brooks, a 39-year-old career criminal, had been involved in a knife fight in Waukesha Sunday afternoon; that he bolted when police arrived before whipping his SUV through the parade route. Five marchers died, and scores were injured — several critically.
Nobody knows what was going through Brooks’ mind as he turned into the parade.
What matters now — apart, of course, from Waukesha’s unfolding, unfathomable human tragedy — is that Darrell E. Brooks has become the latest face of America’s deranged campaign against reasonable law enforcement.
That is, he’s the entirely predictable product of a political- and social-media driven effort to address crime by pretending that it doesn’t exist.
To present criminals — particularly black criminals — as victims. To pay no meaningful attention to actual victims — who overwhelmingly are black themselves.
And to hang responsibility for rampant illegality on the nation’s criminal codes, on its prisons — and, ultimately, on its police.
In a nutshell, abusive cops and “mass incarceration” are the problem. Not violent thugs.
Well, tell that to Waukesha.

Brooks is an NOI 5% jihadi separatist. Secession was defeated in the 1860s. Black supremacists need to be deported.
I was on a jury here in north Florida a few years ago for a burglary of an unoccupied dwelling. 3 defendants being tried separately so it was just one guy.
It was a slam dunk (like many of the things this guy appears to have done) and he went away for 15 years.....for burglary.
Safe to say this thug would been gone a loooong time ago here.
And leftist hatred…
Yes. Another gift from the party of death.
The voters of Milwaukee are accessories to mass murder and terrorism. That point needs to be hammered home to them.
The guy was on a spree of violence.
More than the amount of bail was at issue.
A psych hold should have been placed on him.
It was a tragic event, but it wasn’t a tragedy.
It was an atrocity.

I am confused...
Brooks is a registered sex offender in Nevada...
Doesn’t such an offender HAVE TO register where ever they go???
The problem isn’t bail as much as how dangerous a person is. Bail has been used as a device to detain people thought to be dangerous pending trial without an official finding of dangerousness supported by evidence.
Libs are taking back to 70s level of crime and decay.

Last night on Brett Baiers crap show, he opened with the Ahmed Arbery trial. A picture of the three defendants and alongside, a picture of Arbery shot up on the screen. Baier said, “three WHITE men on trial for the murder of a BLACK man.”
When we saw a picture of The Waukesha murderer, did we hear, “the suspect is a BLACK man, accused of murdering six WHITE people, including an eight year old WHITE child? NO, and we will never hear it spun that way. THATS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.
