Thoughts on the Black Lives Matter Police Massacre in Dallas

One idea that may be learned from the massacre of police officers at a Black Lives Matter protest march in Dallas is that protracted emotional political movements have statistically extreme outriders that bring more violence to the movement. The anti-abortion movement has occasional bombers to attack clinics, the pro-abortion movement sometimes sells human baby body parts harvested in late term abortions etc.

The Vietnam War era protests also had occasional violence as did the green revolution have its Ted Kaczynskis. President Obama’s leadership has been very poor at leading blacks away from social unrest, rioting and the inevitable violence toward reason.

The number of police contacts every day in the U.S.A. with civilians is phenomenal. There are about 6 million convicted felons in the U.S.A. and about 2 million people behind bars. In a nation of 320 million people and with perhaps 50 million police-civilian contacts annually statistically it is inevitable that some violence will occur. Keep in mind the difficulty and nature of the job and the kind of people that do it.

Racism seems prima facie to be a cause for many killings of police. In 2014 50 police officers were feloniously killed and 47 were white. "By race, 47 of the victim officers were white, 2 were black, and 2 were Asian/Pacific Islander." https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/leoka/2014/officers-feloniously-killed

Police kill far more whites than blacks-more than twice as many though blacks are far more likely to murder. http://newobserveronline.com/far-more-whites-killed-by-us-police/

Everyone knows that police work has violence in it. Police are legal bullies able to arrest other citizens and physically take them down. It isn’t a prize fight they practice-it is the most cheap shot win the fight and move on empowerment a citizen can have as an advantage over other and society has created the structure that way for reasons of public safety. The alternative seems to be to just have policemen go and smell the roses and leave the criminals alone and not to offend the media by profiling people to sort through the fish to locate the bad ones in the barrel.

What has changed is the technology of video capture making it possible to record actual crimes by police officers, yet the job of police work will continue to be one where high school graduates over the course of a career must themselves interact with dangerous people and use violence on occasion upon those that resist arrest. Every school kid learns, or should learn, that resisting arrest leads to nothing more than a life in crime as an inmate. One should yes sir, no sir police officers and thank God when they are done with you and have a good lawyer on speed dial, as well of course as not doing things that will get one arrested such as shoplifting while smoking dope and grabbing for a cops gun when he stops to question what the heck you are about.

Amid the hundreds of thousands of police officers in the U.S.A. making 50 million contacts annually there will be some that are not well balanced, burned out, bad attitude, desensitized or whatever that make inappropriate actions with civilians. Some police officers frankly are criminals themselves...remember the Serpico movie based on a true story.

It is possible to slowly evolve better policing and safer methods for civilians and police officers alike yet the Black Lives matter protests and riots do nothing to help that in comparison to the rioting and civil destruction, economic losses and mayhem they bring. President Obama’s leadership has been terrible in clarifying that. It is the sort of bad social organizing that has divided Europe, rekindled the cold war and created conflicted across the Middle East flooding Europe with refugees and terrorist infiltrators.


Police officers are just people trying to get through a challenging career. Black Americans have a higher crime rate, a less intellectual, more aggressive social environment because of its emergence from segregation and the ghetto, and present challenges for police work. If one reads LBJ’s riot commission report and notes the challenges and bullets used by the national guard as compared with the 101st Airborne in Detroit it is easy to see that the Black Lives Matter protests over the incidence of violence concerns lesser numbers.

Each year in the U.S.A. about 250 people are killed by police officers and felons kill about 50 police-that is a reasonable ratio. The Black Lives Matter intifada protests are not going to create a sudden change or correction to statistically hard to avoid behavior. In fact the movement probably stimulates violence and provides a draft for extremists to act. Because statistically problems can be reduced yet not disappear and because people watching videos believe a few incidents are occurring a thousandfold more often it is easy to drag people out into the streets and create chaos rather than the civil order required for measured social economic progress.

Video captures of crimes by civilians and police put on the Internet can easily bring political responses- elections can put unresponsive politicians out. It would be good if police officers were all college graduates yet would such people want to be body builders ready to take down the guys on PCP or meth with guns or body building drunks that are belligerent and hate police officers? If one is interacting with a guy that should be a marshal artist of a kind one should be aware of the possibility that he may use marshal art. People with ordinary IQ can make mistakes or perpetrate crimes in or out of uniform-thats just the way it is. The in theory one wants to find someone brighter on internal affairs to investigate the dummies that were corrupt-and someone brighter supervising internal affairs however it doesn’t really work that way. Politics is corrupt in America-even globalist-and politicians control the police forces ultimately and are themselves socially challenged by not electing good people that have no interest in running for office.
