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.
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.
