UC Death to Cops Communist professor Joshua Clover still on the job after calling for killing of police officers.

On January 10, 2019, convicted criminal Kevin Limbaugh gunned down Natalie Corona, only 22 and a rising star in the Davis police department. Officers from across the country, joined by thousands of locals, attended a memorial service for Corona. Over at UC Davis, on the other hand, one professor openly supported the murder of police officers.

That would be Joshua Clover, professor of English and comparative literature, whose publisher Verso Books describes him as a communist. Born in Berkeley in 1962, Clover (pictured above) is an alumnus of the prestigious Boston University and the Iowa Writers Workshop. He once bagged an NEA grant as well as the Walt Whitman Award from the Academy of American Poets.

Nick Irvin of The Aggie student newspaper dug up Clover’s tweets including: “I am thankful that every living cop will one day be dead, some by their own hand, some by others, too many of old age,” from November 27, 2014. And this, “I mean, it’s easier to shoot cops when their backs are turned, no?” from December 27, 2014. And when Irvin jumped ahead to Jan. 31, 2016, he found, “People think that cops need to be reformed. They need to be killed.”

Irvin contacted Clover to sound him out on Natalie Corona. The communist replied, “I think we can all agree that the most effective way to end any violence against officers is the complete and immediate abolition of the police,” and the professor did not walk back statements about wanting cops to be killed. By his own account, that would include African Americans such as David Dorn and Hispanic Americans such as Natalie Corona.

OK, fair is fair.
After the first cop dies in the UC area, I fully expect some folks to take care of the prof. Let him cower in his paper office, knowing what will happen to him.

What would be even better is if he was taken to a place where he would be treated as Communist police would treat him - before he died.

“That would be Joshua Clover, professor of English and comparative literature”

Would probably faint at the sight of his own blood.

He’s trying to hold onto his position against the upper-class coup called BLM, where privileged white kids are taking out the ‘woke’ generation before them. BLM rich white kids want their jobs. See the latest from Dilbert. It’s not anything remotely to do with black people. They want the cushy positions in colleges, art museums, city social worker departments, etc. etc. They want these positions (highly paid) without having skills, intelligence, experience or knowledge. Soviet Union level bureaucratic fails but who cares once you are solidified like a clam in the right place in the bureaucracy. It’s a coup between one generation of the ruling class against another.

I liked things better when there was a legal prohibition on communists teaching in public institutions.

The communists do not see the criminal element as
a threat as long as they prey on the populace.
Stealing from the state is a no-no however.
The criminal is considered to be politically reliable.

No one here should ever threaten the life of someone in a post. Therefore person could not post here. Therefore, he is no gentleman, nor an adult.

Ask yourself, is this not what we are seeing today?
The political leaders enrich themselves through graft
and corruption while allowing the rioters and looters
to terrorize the people!
Some leaders are beyond the law while others of the
opposition are hounded, persecuted, and savaged by the
media.

The disconnect between what we see with our own eyes
and what the media reports could not be more plain.
We stand on the edge of a precipice.
Will 244 years of Constitutional governance be wiped
from the history books by the dirty hands of socialists?
The time to stand isn’t just coming, it’s here, it’s now.
Those who don’t stand will be trampled underfoot by a
Marxist minority.
