How can anyone possibly expect there to be any sort of sustainable, civilized society with regular occurrences such as these?

Atlanta police chief Erika Shields has stepped down after newly released surveillance footage showing the details of the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks failed to quell public outrage over ‘unjustified’ use of lethal force.

“I do not believe this was a justified use of deadly force and have called for the immediate termination of the officer,” Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said at a Saturday afternoon press conference, accepting Shields’ resignation.

Meanwhile, newly-release surveillance footage of the incident appears to back claims by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation that Brooks grabbed a taser from an officer and aimed it back at police chasing him, at which point he was shot.

The Atlanta officer who fatally shot black man Rayshard Brooks has been terminated, while his partner has been placed on administrative duty, the city’s police revealed to media.

A CNN camera crew was assaulted and prevented from filming outside a Wendy’s in Atlanta – the scene of the fatal police shooting of Rayshard Brooks. The building was torched by protesters amid a new wave of unrest in the city.

The restaurant employees called the police because they didn’t dare confront a single black man themselves.

Instead of complying with the responding officers, the African violently resisted, stole one officer’s weapon, tried to run, and was shot when he aimed the taser at the officer.

Now the African is dead, the officer is out of work, and the restaurant has been burned to the ground. Everyone would have been much better off if the various parties hadn’t been permitted to interact in the first place?

Unity is not the answer. Unity is the problem.

A 27-year veteran police commander explains why he is abandoning the profession:

Doctors kill 250,000 people a year. They call them “medical mistakes” because society understands that they do a very difficult job under high stress and they must make the best possible decision in the moment.

Law enforcement is tasked with the same and we are highly successful. Despite the most violent society we have ever seen, less than 1,000 suspects are killed a year. 96{574700e7d57f0a5242f51645fa25e9fe0fd372296e9a798489edc6652e3f512a} are attacking us with weapons and all but a few others are attacking us with their cars or their fists and more and more with simulated guns so Benjamin Crump (an American civil rights attorney) can help their family win the lottery.

I’ve seen cops risk their own lives when they shouldn’t have… just to keep from taking one.

They never get the credit that other professions get.

Cowards are all around us. From chiefs to sheriffs to politicians, no one has our back.

Now, the little we have, we are told they are going to defund us or even abolish us. Citizens with a political agenda will reign over us and all you have to do is wake up and put on a uniform to be a racist.

This weekend I received death threats for just doing my job. It would have been outrageous a decade ago and made national news.

Now, it’s just a Monday.

There will be more threats, more accusations of racism and more lies told about us.

I used to talk cops out of leaving the job. Now I’m encouraging them.

It’s over America. You finally did it.

You aren’t going to have to abolish the police, we won’t be around for it.

On the one hand, it’s impossible to blame the man. Everything that he says is true. On the other hand, he leaves out a lot of the changes that have taken place over the course of the last 40 years. It must be admitted that many U.S. police forces helped bring the present situation about, as since the 1980s they were methodically corrupted. The combination of police unions, qualified immunity, militarization, asset seizures, affirmative action, and an unwillingness to convict genuinely bad cops resulted in a transformation from public servants keeping the peace to Law Enforcement Officers.

The police chose the wrong side and served the elite against the people. Now they stand in the way of the elite’s plans for what passes for society, so they are being cast aside and cannot reasonably expect any substantive support from the white Americans whose interests they have systematically betrayed for at least the last four decades.

All in all, it strikes me as an excellent time to launch a private security corporation.

Unauthorized author James Delingpole gets it:

If Black Lives Matter are the good guys, how come they are so censorious, aggressive, bullying, closed-minded and intolerant of free speech?

Toby Young’s Free Speech Union is highlighting the terrifying case studies of journalists and academics in the U.S. and the UK who have been recently been cancelled merely for showing scepticism or insufficient crusading zeal on the issue of Black Lives Matter…. None of these men said or did anything that could reasonably construed as ‘racist.’ Indeed, in several cases, they paid obeisance to the Black Lives Matter movement by offering up grovelling pieties on the awfulness of racism. But it made no difference for the simple reason that it never does. They don’t want your contrition: they want your destruction.

As Vox Day puts it in his SJW Attack Survival Guide, the third rule is ‘Do Not Apologise’.

Normal people seek apologies because they want to know that you feel bad about what you have done and that you will at least attempt to avoid doing it again in the future. When SJWs push you for an apology after pointing-and-shrieking at you, what they are seeking is a confession to bolster their indictment. They are like the police down at the station with a suspect in the interrogation room, badgering him to confess to the crime. And like all too many police these days, the SJWs don’t really care if you did it or not, they’re just looking for a confession that they can take to the prosecutor.

The other lesson for us all is that unless you work for an avowedly, aggressively and unapologetically conservative employer — ideally yourself — your freedom of speech is effectively at an end because your employer will cave at the merest hint of a complaint from the radical left.

The answer, of course, is that Black Lives Matter are not the good guys. They are, in fact, the tools of the very, very bad guys.

How dare the racist media question the fine way Chicago’s democratically elected leaders are governing the City with Broad Shoulders?

As unrest swept the city Sunday, aldermen pleaded with Mayor Lori Lightfoot to help them protect their communities from roving bands of criminals clashing with police and looting businesses.

WTTW News obtained a recording of an online conference call held by the mayor’s office to brief all 50 aldermen on the city’s response to the unrest touched off by the death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police.

While one alderman wept, others grew angry with the mayor, demanding to know what her strategy was to stop the violence that began in earnest late Saturday.

Mayor Lightfoot is a brave and stunning woman of color, and there is absolutely no reason besides racism to believe she cannot run the city as well as any white man, in fact, she can run it better because she understands the 400-year plight of the 887,608 Black Americans in her city.

She certainly can’t do any worse than the Jewish guy who was parachuted into Minneapolis to become the next Senator from Minnesota. At least Chicago hasn’t actually burned down yet.

This should prove to be more than a little amusing:

Minneapolis City Council members have announced their intention to make radical changes in the city’s police department in the wake of violent protests that were sparked by the death of George Floyd, an African-American man who died in police custody.

Nine of the council’s 12 members appeared at a rally in a city park Sunday afternoon and vowed to end policing as the city currently knows it.

The council members ended up standing before hundreds of people on a grassy hill and pledged to begin the process of taking apart the Police Department in its current form.
Council Member Jeremiah Ellison promised that the council would ‘dismantle’ the department.
At another protest on Saturday, Rep. Ilhan Omar declared ‘it’s time to disband the Minneapolis Police Department. I will never cosign on funding a police department that continues to brutalize us and I will never stop saying, not only do we need dis-invest police but we need to completely dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department,’ she said.

Of course, they may not have any police willing to work there much longer anyhow. One friend was speaking to a longtime officer today and it appears that a significant percentage of the MPD is now eligible for retirement and is increasingly inclined to take it.

He mentioned he had been on the force for nearly 30 years and had concerns about others that are “retirement-eligible” resigning – some have already in light of the recent events and almost 20{105b5945f2a7891a3dd860d3a09046b26c32f8a07d097b566642738deee8841e} of the force is currently eligible. 

At some point, it is going to occur to the general population that the ever-present problem is not the police.

It’s mildly amusing to see the neocons feigning indignation over the fact that foreign enemies of the United States are utilizing its internal unrest against it, in much the same manner that the USA has utilized the internal unrest of other nation-states for the last 60 years:

Foreign propagandists are exploiting the death of George Floyd to question the legitimacy of the U.S. political system and deflect concerns about their own human rights abuses.

China, Russia, Iran, and other authoritarian regimes have offered wall-to-wall coverage of the Floyd protests and ensuing riots on their propaganda outlets, using the unrest to paint democratic systems as prone to turmoil. The propagandists—as well as top-level government officials—have also exploited the Floyd protests to smear specific pro-democracy or anti-regime movements within their own countries, associating the movements with scenes of chaos and disorder in U.S. cities.

The spate of propaganda coverage and public statements are indicative of how foreign adversaries are manipulating an American tragedy to delegitimize anti-regime voices in their home countries. This is especially the case for China, as the Floyd protests served as a welcome diversion from the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre and public outcry in Hong Kong, where demonstrators are out in the streets opposing a new national security law that would allow the Chinese government to crack down on anyone conducting what it considers seditious or terrorist activities.

It’s actually much worse than that, of course. The champions of alternative societal systems of are pointing, very convincingly, to the intrinsic instability and structural contradictions of the current post-Christian, post-European, diverse, multi-racial, multi-religious, multi-culturalWest, in order to demonstrate the observable superiority of their more homogenous approaches.

National Guard soldiers have arrived in DC from the 53rd Infantry Brigade Combat Team and have been sworn in as temporary U.S. Marshals in support of citizens at the Nation’s Capital.

Given how the NFL, including star quarterback Drew Brees, have cucked so comprehensively in the face of the Black Lives Matter Most riots, I think it is safe to assume that the NFL is going to resume the downward spiral upon which it embarked in 2017:

Cajoled and challenged by Trump into doing so, Brees has plainly and publicly abandoned his viewpoint that protests during the national anthem constitute disrespect of the flag.

It’s a significant, and powerful, concession from Brees. His prior public apologies didn’t say that it’s not about the flag, an omission that likely was not accidental as Brees searched for a potential middle ground that allowed him to show empathy to the struggles of the black community when dealing with law enforcement while also reserving the right, in the event that he eventually launches his own political career (some believe that’s inevitable) to re-embrace a position that will ingratiate him to a specific segment of the American population — or, perhaps more importantly, that will not alienate them.

If that’s what was going on (and Occam’s razor is an eternal beacon in these contexts), Brees ditched the effort to straddle the fence and came down clearly, unequivocally, and publicly on the side of an issue that will piss off plenty of people, starting with Donald Trump and the Fifth Avenue band.

Coupled with Commissioner Roger Goodell’s compelling video message from earlier in the evening, Brees’ message to the President amounts to the drawing of a line in the sand by the NFL for a political fight to come, especially as the President tries to pump up his base in order to maximize turnout for the November election. At a time when the NFL already is concerned about the impact of the pandemic on the bottom line, the league now has to worry about whether a reprise of the 2017-style son-of-bitches attack from the President will impact TV ratings, especially if players decide to take a knee in peaceful and silent protest during the anthem in 2020.

I stopped subscribing to NFL GamePass in 2017. I’m definitely not going to even consider resubscribing in 2020, even if there are games. And I suspect that I am far from the only former NFL fan to find my interest in the league being severely reduced. While I’m not saying I will never watch a Vikings game or a playoff game, I don’t know if I’m even paying enough attention to play fantasy football anymore.

The NFL is going to discover that corporate cancer kills customer interest and customer loyalty.

Forget “the Boogaloos” and the “murder” of George Floyd by police. Now the people behind Antifa are trying to fake killings by the National Guard:

An armed man was arrested overnight for allegedly impersonating a National Guard member. As FOX 11 first reported, authorities told us 31-year-old Gregory Wong was taken into custody on assault weapon charges after being found with a cache of weapons.

The Los Angeles Police Department said Wong was arrested near the intersection of E. 1st Street and N. Main Street in downtown Los Angeles around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. Several protests over the death of George Floyd have been held in the area.

Sources told FOX 11 investigative reporter Bill Melugin that Wong got dropped off by an Uber right across LAPD headquarters. He then tried to get into formation with a unit of National Guard soldiers who were defending downtown LA from looters.

However, he was quickly spotted out by soldiers based on the gun he had.

Officials told FOX 11 that Wong was carrying an AR-15 rifle rather than an M4 or M16, the typical gear the National Guard carry. Officials also say Wong had other high end tactical gear like night vision goggles and a sidearm.

This illustrates why the God-Emperor is doing the right thing by refusing to take the bait and forcing the state and local authorities to either deal with the situation themselves or have their complicity exposed in the full glare of the public eye.

Ex-New York City Mayor Giuliani has come right out and stated that the current mayor has been personally calling various police chiefs and telling them not to enforce the law or make arrests

There isn’t much question about who is funding the fake protests when churches are being burned down:

Chaos has continued to unfold in cities across America where over 50 Secret Service agents were injured in clashes with protesters in Washington DC, cops charged into demonstrators in New York City, and lootings and store raids continued to unfold in California, Philadelphia and Boston.

Tens of thousands of people gathered as the National Guard was deployed to over half the states in the country on Sunday for protests that have seen 4,100 people get arrested this weekend alone.

But even the threat of heavy officer presence didn’t deter protesters in Philadelphia from hurling rocks and Molotov cocktails at police, crowds to raid stores including Coach and Chanel in New York and San Francisco, and fires being ignited mere feet from the White House.

Late Sunday in Washington D.C. a fire was set ablaze in the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church and Lafayette Park in front of the White House.

Whatever happened to shooting the looters, President Trump? Declare martial law, declare a curfew, then shoot dead every single “protester” who violates it. Then arrest and prosecute every member of every organization involved in the funding of these fake protests. Then again, the God-Emperor never threatened to send in the Marines or order the shooting of looters himself, he merely pointed out the obvious to the responsible local authorities.

But regardless, do you still feel like posturing about that “police brutality” in Minneapolis, virtue-signalers? Even if we assume that the “murder” of “George Floyd” actually took place, it was obviously nothing more than the jogger trigger Antifa’s owners were waiting to pull.

What was portrayed as “racist police brutality” is eventually going to end up with white Americans pleading for far more extreme racism and brutality than has ever been exhibited in Minneapolis.
