Who Will Cops Call for Help?



It's time to get real about police reform. Despite being an old school safety advocate, officers and police executives deserve my sympathy for enduring perpetual portrayals as a 21st century Waffen SS, whose detectives are a Gestapo upgrade, none of whom violent anti law enforcement protestors trust or respect. Policing as an institution is bending over backward to appease zealots who hate them and it's a sad sight.

That said, I must ask, who will cops call for help after a high profile shooting or other use of force upon a Black man- violent anti law enforcement protesters or the law abiding public? If ever there was a moment for police to call upon supportive stakeholders, it is now!

After calls are made to lawyers, union reps, clergy and family members, not getting word to police supporters is a major error.

In cities under elite liberal "leadership," officers and police executives are politically pressured into catering to police and prison abolitionists and repeat offenders playing such misguided mandarins like violins. Law abiding urban stakeholders mustn't allow anti law enforcement protestors to deepen  descent into public safety segregation. Our victims and safety advocates are second class citizens whose concerns and injuries aren't priorities. I've seen this first-hand here in "Gotham" (my nickname for New Orleans) for years and note it elsewhere too.

Individual officers, police executives, police unions and retirees have a choice to make before it's made for them by violent anti law enforcement protestors- who are cops going to call for help when budgets are about to be gutted or viral use of force video further demonizes them?

Law abiding Black people and police supporters of all colors in urban areas are your backup. If you can't reach out to reliable citizens always reaching out to you, then policing and safety as we know them are finished.

Is that what you signed up for?

Cap Black.

Vernon Jones: Standard Bearer for Conservative Black Democrats.

Image
I don't think every Black person needs to be a Republican. The community needs Democrats fighting for effective public safety and other non liberal policy in that party too. Georgia Democrat Vernon  Jones is such a Democrat. He's made headlines and haters among elite liberals for his vocal support of Donald Trump, the Republican incumbent. He even was one of the speakers for the first night of the 2020 Republican National Convention. Conservative Democrats are part of a broad bipartisan coalition of Americans deeply concerned about the direction of our country. My only suggestion to Mr. Jones and others is to refrain from accusing Black Democrats of being on a plantation. This is a very harsh phrase for one Black person to ever use against another. Instead, attack the elite liberal plantation master mindset!!! They've gentrified their way into the good graces of our community. Point out how they today, like ones of old, are always around us. Highlight how they really see th

When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist.

When I Say, Support Black Business, I'm not Being Racist. I hear Individualism purists brows loudly wrinkling. Some snap, "Huh? What if I said, 'Support White Business?' You'd saying I was being racist!!!" Actually, I'd say Black people already support White owned businesses, to the yearly tune of billions of dollars. Clearly we're not racist with our money. When I say, Support Black business, it's not encouraging economic discrimination. Quite the contrary, it's promoting ideological decolonization. Elite liberals want Black people thinking we can't create anything for ourselves and must rely on "concerned" colonizers for leadership, goods and services. As a boy I had several Black owned convenience stores, a dry cleaner, barber shop, beauty salon, electronic repair shop, insurance company, gas station and more  within walking distance. I caught the tail end of a (soon shuttered) separate Jim Crow economy my parents and grandpare
