If "being shot is a risk police officers take with the job", then isn't being shot a risk criminals take when breaking the law?

Tomorrow our Left will celebrate the life of George Floyd on the anniversary of his death last year in the custody of the Minneapolis police. The ‘celebration’ itself is a specious undertaking of political propaganda at its most blunt delivery while cloaked in the highest level of obfuscation for the nation’s hoi polloi. Mr Floyd was a career petty criminal and drug addict, in and out of jails, who devoted his life to victimizing fellow blacks. His unfortunate death at the hands of white police officers set in motion a perfect storm that has been used by Democrats, cum socialists and communists, to convince the country’s lightly read that America remains a deeply racist country with persecuted minorities, especially our African-Americans, whose lot has not improved since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Huckster Al Sharpton will feature prominently in the coming kabuki, as will President Biden’s White House meeting with the Floyd family to assure all the country’s blacks it is America’s racist Right that has deprived them of their ‘fair share’, and has kept them suffering on the plantation all these decades.
Victor Davis Hanson (here) and Bret Weinstein (here) whose essays have both hit it “outta da park” according to a longtime commenter, who again joins with RR’s cohort of other astute commenters who regularly bring to our readers’ attention significant commentaries that reveal and characterize these historic times, during which our country is rent and the world order is changing. These pages have featured both writers over the years, and again their recent contributions do not disappoint.
[25may21 update] SecState Antony Blinken is a first tier member of the cast of clowns Biden has assembled for his administration. This man already has a record of not being taken seriously as Bumblebrain’s top diplomat. The Israeli-Hamas Gaza fight is the latest example of where the US got maximally dissed when we attempted to insert ourselves as peacemakers. Both sides told us to cool it while they were working through Egypt to get a cease fire going. On the sidelines our president was jumping up and down demanding that Netanyahu cease hostilities before the cows came home that night. Bebe told Biden ‘up yours’ and continued negotiations with Hamas through Egypt. The situation got so embarrassing that we finally put Blinken on a plane and just sent him to Israel at no one’s invitation, just so it would appear that we were playing a material role in the latest Mideast kerfuffle. But Netanyahu put the kibosh on that by publicly rebuffing Blinken and Biden’s policy of supporting a new deal by which Iran would be able to develop nuclear weapons.

Austin III (Clown #2) now spending its time attracting transgenders and hunting white supremacists (aka Trump voters) in its ranks.
[27may21 update] Crime rates have shot through the roof – “murder rates are up in double digits” – in Democrat run cities where police have been reviled since George Floyd’s death. It is not hard to calculate the number of murders that can be laid directly at the feet of the country’s Left – those both in office and on the streets. Simply subtract last year’s body counts from those that the established trends would have predicted. Today there is a desperate movement nationwide to restore and even increase police budgets in cities where the double dummies have been in charge for decades. (more here) But the damage has been done, the not-too-bright voters in these cities have already been brainwashed into publicly maligning their police departments. This has caused mass resignations of sworn LE officers, and those that remain are no longer aggressively pursuing criminals who are soon released by leftwing prosecutors and judges in these cities. And pity the cop who is accused of stepping out of line – these days that is career ending. We must always remember that for a liberal, allegations and accusations are considered as evidence.
Longtime liberal mouthpiece and Bill Clinton’s campaign manager James Carville claims that ‘Democrats Are the Anti-crime Party’ in a WSJ piece that I suspect was accepted specifically to demonstrate what an idiot the man is. His evidence? Well, the rampant rise in crime all over the country last year was the fault of President Trump the Republican – “violence exploded on his watch”. This kind of commentary is nothing more than what has been typical issue from the Democrat intellect. So now he credits the desperate backpedaling by Democrat administrations to refurbish their municipal police departments as some kind of new initiatives taken by the concerned and socially conscious progressives, all that without a single word on what the proto-Marxists have done to defund and denigrate their law enforcement organizations.
Total news blackout on Ivermectin continues. We have covered its role in the prevention and treatment of C19, but the media continues to deny people the information about this long-known medicine. From ZeroHedge we read – Malcom X once called the media “the most powerful entity on the earth.” They have, he said, “the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of masses”. Today, that power is now infused with the power of the world’s biggest tech and social media companies. Together social and traditional media have the power to make a medicine that has saved possibly millions of lives during the current pandemic disappear from the conversation. When it is covered, it’s almost always in a negative light. Some media organizations, including the NY Times, have even prefaced mention of the word “ivermectin” — a medicine that has done so much good over its 40-year lifespan that its creators were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2015 — with the word “controversial.” (more here)
[31may21 update] CDC reports that C19 infections of vaccinated people is exceedingly rare – 1 chance in 100,000. “A promising new report from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has found less than 1,000 cases of COVID-19 needing hospitalization out of more than 100 million fully vaccinated people. The CDC admits it is probably undercounting positive COVID-19 cases, however, the report offers a powerful reminder of the real-world effectiveness of vaccines.” (more here) This makes me more than doubly pissed off when I still see masked nebbishes in the public square.
