Is Law and order conservatism dead? I hope to hear your comments.

"Law and order conservatism" is not dead. I think people have simply started to realize that many of the stories of police brutality are right on target (though I don't know enough about the specific case in Inglewood to comment on it).

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."

It is worse than that, in my opinion.

There is extreme racial tension that is underneath the surface of this society. The fact that it is not talked about is a sign of how bad it is. Law and order, reason, logic all go out the window when race is involved. We have seen this in the OJ trial.

I could continue this point but I choose not to become depressed about our deterioriating society on such a beautiful summer day. Personally, I am enjoying the good life in California but I understand that 'these are the good old days'. I will be prepared to vacate to somewhere nice like Chile if it ever all comes down.

A 16 year-old kid can kill just as fast as a 21 year-old. Let the cops protect themselves when necessary.

As with the Rodney King video all we were ever treated to was the few seconds when the Cops finally had enough and kicked the shi$ out of the felon. In actuality the whole tape showed Rodney, revved up on something, fighting, kicking, hitting, and totally out of control to such an extent that several officers could not control his frenzy.

Having only seen the part where, after slamming this kids head on the hood, the bad cop lands a good punch on his head and the good Cop to the right of the bad Cop restrains the punching arm. But I would be most surprised if the rest of the video, if indeed the whole incident had been taped, would show this kid acting much like role model (can't we just all get along) Rodney, who very much had his beating coming.

Naturally, the creators of people and fiction like Tawana Browley will create a mentally retarded poor black boy with a pure heart and pristine background with a overworked poor loving mother, father no where to be seen. The kid will have been stopped and detained in a racial profiling action, not because he did anything wrong. His attackers will be morphed into black hating perverts in another effort to Get Whitey.

We all know that if this child had been white this would have been a non story, as whites deserve any and everything they get they have coming to them.

If the boy was gay it would have been an even bigger story as homophelic Cops bashed the he$$ out of poor little gay guy..........but I digress.

If sanity ever overtakes the people in this country who just can't seem to see the awful degredation, condescention, forced victimhood, and downright supression of people whom the NAACP and The Rainbow Coalition, along with such stirling leaders as Sharpton, et. al., heap on thier own, then we would begin to really experience the end of all this forced racism kept alive by shameless Democrats and Liberals

Political correctness has indoctrinated us to be maudlin sentimental mush heads who couldn't logically come to any true conclusions when confronted with this type of situation.

If you hit a Cop you are in deep shi$. Why should you not be? This kid hit and fought a cop.
