Press cranks up narrative of police racial injustice after Columbus cop stops a knife-wielding teen from stabbing another girl
American Thinker ^ | 04/21/2021 | Monica Showalter

Fresh off the police brutality trial of Derek Chauvin, business is booming for the racial grievance industry, this time in a southeast Colombus, Ohio residential neighborhood.

Here are the headlines that ran, starting with NPR:

Columbus Police Shoot And Kill Black, Teenage Girl 

Here's the SEO of the same headline, and likely an earlier version of the headline above:

16-year-old-black-girl-who-called-for-help-fatally-shot-by-police-ohio-family-sa(ys)

There's this from the New York Times:

This from the Columbus Dispatch

Ma’Khia Bryant: Columbus police release body camera footage in shooting of 16-year-old

Got it? The narrative has been set: Predatory white police on the prowl for black people find a blameless 16-year old girl minding her own business and shoot her dead in cold blood.

 The protestors are out, and already race-hustler lawyer, Benjamin Crump, is out front, spreading a phony narrative about an 'unarmed' teen:

Part 8 — the worst lie yet. Ben Crump claims Ma’Khia was unarmed. pic.twitter.com/6tcvuct1o5 — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) April 21, 2021

Guess a knife held in the stab position isn't a 'weapon,' is that it?

There is also the sudden appearance of 'relatives' who have swarmed to the cameras, telling us about how 'maternal' and 'peaceful' the deceased was

There are more questions:

1) How many blacks WANT to be cops

2) Even if they want to be, how many blacks can meet the STANDARDS required for being a cop?

....

Affirmative Action?

Narrative, huh? Every police press conference ANYWHERE for ANYTHING should commence only after the screening of THIS video. It should go up on every official cop website.

Maybe it is time for the police to draw a circle around these neighborhoods and stop trying to enforce civilization upon the inhabitants.

Once the cop arrived and saw what was happening, he should have said “F.I.D.O.”*

*”F*** it, drive on”.

....

I believe this is going to start happening more and more! At least it should start happening!

Why are they policing anyone at this point.


There are WIN/LOSE AND LOSE/WIN situations.

There are WIN/WIN situations.

and there are LOSE/LOSE situations.

Do not be too quick to identify something as a NO WIN situation. Once you quit, it is either a LOSE/WIN or LOSE/LOSE.

Be thankful that many are still engaged in the battle and we have to support them.

Trumps philosophy is looking for the Win/win first. It is good thinking and good longterm strategy.

And as the Derek Chauvin case has shown us, sometimes, with more and more frequency, you can't win if you do the right thing.

If I were a cop, I'd look for desk job until my 20 were up and then retire. If I already had my 20, I'd be retiring and find something else to do with the rest of my life.

Justice, fairness, objectivity are now evil concepts and it makes it entirely unsafe to be a street cop.

It seems it would be difficult to prove legally that officers should intervene in most incidents.

1) Windshield and side windows were dirty from day’s patrol. Neither of us saw it.
2) We do not practice police brutality on unarmed black citizens
3) family or girlfriend arguments happen every day. They work it out themselves. Not a police matter in our interpretation.
4) Our black community needs social worker counseling, not harsh police officers butting in.
5) Defunding has reduced the force so the few of us on patrol had much more urgent incidents to address.

As the line in Blazing Saddles: You’re on your own.

Sit in the car and call for black cop back up. But then if she stabbed someone he would be blamed for not doing anything.

“Dispatch, yeah cancel that call of a possible BF with a knife, it looks like a cell phone to me”

“Roger that, all units disregard that call”

He should have shot the guy in the gray sweatshirt, too.

That is exactly what they should of done.
They can stand guard as the morgue van carries off the bodies later.

Also the sudden appearance of ‘relatives’ who have swarmed to the cameras.

The race report at 6:00 and 11:00.
