* A couple of years prior to the Rodney King riots, police in Los Angeles, and a few other nearby cities, were being browbeaten by local city leaders regarding two or three suicide deaths of black perps while in police custody.
In disgust, the police in assorted cities organized a “secret strike” in LA and some surrounding areas. The basic strategy was, when it came to high crime areas, the police would be slow to arrive to altercations, slow to detain, and resistant to making an arrest on anything but the most egregious crimes.
Subsequently, those areas went ballistic with street crime by blacks. Black shootings and murders went through the roof. The climax being the Rodney King riots. and if you noticed, the police were also pretty laid back during that fiasco.
As Baltimore’s incompetent mayor, and affirmative action prosecuting attorney willfully indulged in alienating their entire police force by cow towing to the professional negro industrial complex, I knew “black bodies” would be piling up in Baltimore this summer.
While the rioting, looting, and racial pogroms by the more feeble-minded blacks annoyed me, my annoyance was mitigated by what I knew was going to happen to the perps and their enablers come this summer, and everyone has performed wonderfully, as predicted.
* So, approximately 70 Baltimore residents (almost, if not all, black) have died because of the lying anti-police race war perpetrated by Obama, Holder, Coates, and the MSM.
Will any of these despicable racists apologize for their part in creating this pile of dead black bodies?
* One of President Obama’s favorite mantras when promoting his latest gun-grab: “If there’s even one thing we can do, if there’s just one life we can save—we’ve got an obligation to try.”
Mr. President, here are TWO things we could do that would save lives, black lives in particular. Let’s give them a try!
1.) Promote stop and frisk programs in every drug-and crime-ridden neighborhood in America. That has a proven track record for saving black lives.
2.) Every time you give a speech on the justifiable anger of blacks and the need to retrain the police, take an extra moment, put on your earnest voice, and plead with black people to comply with police officers’ instructions and stop resisting arrest. Just do what the officer says, even if you don’t like his attitude. If he is out of line you can file suit at a later date. This would have saved the lives of Michael Brown, Freddy Gray, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, and Samuel DuBose.
* San Diego has more than twice Baltimore’s population, and had 2.7 homicides in the average month (32 total in 2014). Baltimoreans are thus about 34 times more murderous per capita than San Diegans.
Japan, with a population of 126 million, averages 37 murders per month, making Baltamoreans about 185 times more murderous than Japanese.
* San Diego is also more conservative, due to Navy (active duty and retired), Midwesterner and Hispanic influences. Add in all the scientists in La Jolla and the platinum triangle and you see that there is a lot of social capital. All of the above tended to favor families and stability.
The city and suburbs are an unusual cultural island in SoCal given how distinct they are even from Orange County on the far side of north county’s Camp Pendleton, let alone Los Angeles well up the freeway.
* The city of San Diego has no zip codes where Blacks are even a plurality, let alone a majority. San Diego was not as popular a California destination for the Great Black Migration out of the South as was Sacramento, Los Angeles, and Oakland. White San Diego residents dodged a bullet big time.
* I don’t blame the cops a bit. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Let the city burn.
As a kid we visited some friends of my parents at a nice restaurant on the water in Baltimore. I kept remarking that, wow, golly gee, Baltimore is such a nice town. None of the adults at the table actually lived in the city, but they were all in the know. They all just shook their heads and said, “No. No it isn’t.” As the sky grew ever blacker, so did the ballooning crowd out under the lights along the water. A rowdy bunch indeed. We left shortly after and never returned. This was during G.H.W. Bush’s presidency.
* A very intelligent police officer I know wrote this analysis of the shooting of Samuel DuBose by University of Cincinnati Police Officer Ray Tensing:
I don’t remember where I snagged it but the entire video of the incident in decent resolution is available for download. I watched it using VLC player which allows you to watch the video frame-by-frame. While some details might not matter to non-LE, there were several red flags that are significant.
First, the driver initially fails to yield to emergency lights. The officer has to use several siren blasts to get the vehicle to stop. Stop was initiated on a busier street. The driver makes two turns and ends up on a more remote street out of sight of the more populated area. The
officer seems to be aware that this isn’t right and advises his dispatcher “slow to stop” and reports the street name that the non-yielding car is now on. That initial failure to yield is a huge danger sign and any credible officer knows this.
I suspect that this gets his nearest backup moving that way because that officer is on-scene by the time the wrecked vehicle has come to rest. What may be radio traffic sending a backup takes place later but the backup had to be very close or already on his/her way. If that is the dispatcher sending a second unit, it means that even the dispatch realized the dangers associated with “slow to stop.”
Once stopped, the driver is plainly and repeated evasive. The officer had already run the tag, knows it’s registered to a female but the driver claims it’s his. The driver asks twice about the reason for the stop. The first time, the officer clearly explains the reason. When it surfaces a second time, it reeks of someone trying to take control of the situation and put the officer off.
The driver continues to be evasive about his driver’s license and, more importantly, his identity. People who don’t want you to know who they are generally have warrants.
The officer asks the driver to take off his seatbelt and then opens the car door. The driver closes the door and reaches for the ignition and starts the car. There is only one reason for this — flight. As the car starts, the officer very clearly reaches into the vehicle towards the ignition.
A struggle ensues. The officer’s support hand is never on the gun. It is in the car the whole time. It does appear that the officer is moved forward. I can’t tell if it’s after the shot is fired but there is a driveway in the background during the struggle and when the officer stands back up, he is no longer aligned with it.
After watching this video frame-by-frame, I can’t see how this warrants a murder charge. The most, I mean the barest most that could be criminal would be to claim that the gun unintentionally discharged during the struggle for control of the vehicle. I am not saying this is the case, but even if we consider the hypothetical, it warrants an involuntary manslaughter at the most.
At no time does the officer claim that the gun fired accidentally. His first coherent statement is “I thought he was going to run me over.” The officer’s post-fight is pretty damn good. His radio traffic is coherent and he isn’t spinning out of control.
I know he’s a politician but the DA and his pompous statements are nothing short of disgusting.
* “Also Steve did Unz put a gun to the head of your next kitchen remodel and threaten to pull the trigger if you mention the #cuckservative brouhaha? I notice that your not noticing it is pretty telling, like when SCOTUS decided that the 14th Amendment secretly gave a right for two men to claim they’re married and you couldn’t be bothered to write a word about it.”
Maybe he isn’t that interested in it and/or doesn’t think he has much to add. I have not noticed any change in the nature or quality of Steve’s output since he set up shop under Unz’s masthead. I don’t agree with some of Ron Unz’s opinions, but he is certainly not a doctrinaire thinker and I see no evidence that he has placed any limits on Steve’s territory.
