I saw a few threads here yesterday about the Inglewood cop thing. I expected to see comment posts all about revulsion at the PC media's latest propaganda. I expected to see criticism of the Uncivil rights leaders (racebaiting demogogues) that will use this to spread hatred of white people everywhere and justify criminal behavior (and of course take from our wallets).
But I didn't. Instead I saw a very few brave conservatives standing up for law and order being relentlessly bashed by a much larger bunch of, well, I don't know what.
As to the matter discussed: The criminal idiot kid attacked and hit the cop hard enough to produce a gash on his head. When people are hit they usually hit back, whether its cops or anybody else. At most the guy should be briefly suspended without pay or written up (that's what would happen if this country was purged of PC lunacy).
But there's a lot larger issue here: Why some people here of all places would make a huge big deal over a criminal who cracked a cop in the head getting thrown down is just amazing.
So what do you people think will happen now? Well I'll tell you. Exactly what usually happens. The cops will catch fewer criminals, and crime will go up, because that's what happens everytime there's one of these media driven racebaiter PC love-in cop hater fests (riots will most likely follow).
You guys are furthering the PC movement motto: "white cops are out to get all black people?" all just to increase crime and liberal victimization propaganda (and most likely government spending on social programs to help "poor unfortunate victims" like this kid). What is wrong with you? Are you a bunch of liberals or something?
'cause you're sure helping out their cause.

Except for forgetting to play the race card, No liberal could have said it better

But I saw that video. The cop that slammed that kid on the roof of the car and then punched him should be fired for abuse of power and convicted of felony assault. The other cops who did nothing except just restrain him from further brutality didn't do enough.
That was disgusting.
I'm not saying this happened to the threads you mentioned -- I didn't read them. But it has happened to others.
I certainly hope so. It is counterproductive in 2002.
"Law And Order Conservatism" made sense in the '50's, '60's and 70's because back then those that would subvert and destroy America were visable radicals causing mayhem and destruction. They were the hippie protesters who openly wanted to tear down our institutions and laws, which at the time were still (somewhat) fair and reasonable.
But now that the leftist, radicals have grown up, got a haircut, and put on a suit, they have systematically implemented phase 2 of their master plan. They have infiltrated, and risen in rank to the top of every major American institution they once scourned, even their hated law enforcement and military. Hell, one of them was even POTUS for 8 years!
With the left firmly in charge of government, legislature, and the law, being a " Law And Order Conservative" makes zero sense, unless you wish to bootlick the people we should be fighting.
" ... The cop that slammed that kid on the roof of the car and then punched him should be fired for abuse of power and convicted of felony assault ... "
Yep.
But I don't think it is fair to cast anyone who was critical of the behavior of the police in this case in that light.
It was clearly abusive behavior by the cops. This is exactly the sort of crap which turns people against the police, the sort of crap which exasperbates racial tensions, the sort of crap which enables the race baiting poverty pimps like Jesse Jackson, Infume, and Sharpton.
If we tolerate this, then the death of law and order conservatism is our fault.
I had been privy to some interesting information about two specific cases of police brutality in the New York area in the last few years (one of which is the Abner Louima case, in which the second accused police officer is now on trial), and what I knew about these cases led me to believe that many conservatives have been kidding themselves when they blindly stood up in support of police officers without knowing all the details of a case.
On the other hand, "law and order" conservatives can simply sit back and let "law and order" liberals accomplish the same things by using the idiocy of liberal voters to their advantage. The city of Newark, New Jersey is a good example -- the police department there has really turned the corner on crime, primarily by engaging in practices that had been "officially" discontinued years ago. They get away with it because the mayor is black, the police department is mixed, and the perpetrators are primarily black. They have been so successful fighting crime there that neighboring towns have seen a dramatic increase in crime over the last decade as these mutants have sought "greener pastures."
Oh please. Criminals kill people, rob them, shoot them, stab them, and assault them, everyday in huge numbers in this country, and you reserve "disgust" for this? A criminal getting slammed on a car hood AFTER cracking a cops head open?
With all due respect, your priorities are way way out of whack.
And like I said for what? for the increased crime that will inevitably follow? (I can assure you IT WILL be a lot rougher than slamming guys on car hoods) for the PC robber barrons and race hustlers to steal your wallet for more social programs? For the inevitable sob stories about how evil and oppressive whitey is?
If anything, THAT, should disgust you. It's a damn shame it doesn't.
The only thing I can say in defense of the others is that it appeared to me as if they had their head turned when he slammed the kid into the car hood.
Their intervention when he then sucker punched the kid was tepid at best though. They obviously didn't want him to beat the kid, but they sure weren't about to do anything about the fact that he just did.
Is that right. Hmm then why is is it that Al Sharpton, Kweisi Mfume, Jesse Jackson, Ron Kuby, the media, and a whole bunch of other LEFT WINGERS are bashing the police every chance they get?
Seems like your copnsiracy theory needs a little more... scratch that...a LOT MORE, work before it even starts making any sense.
Ah yes, spoken like a true liberal PC cop basher
