WARNING – You’ll never get this minute back:

APRIL 2014 – […] ”I just want everyone to know: I am proud to stand with Rev. Sharpton, To borrow a phrase from our youth, reverend — he’s the real thing.”

“I am Rev. Sharpton’s fan, I must admit, But there may be an even greater fan of Rev. Sharpton in my household: the first lady of our city, Chirlane McCray. And we both value his advice and his guidance.” (link)

September (NEW YORK) Chokeholds are against NYPD policy and are at the center of the controversial death of a suspect on Staten Island, but Mayor de Blasio said Tuesday he’s opposed to making them a crime. (more…)

Gee, ya think?   After watching yesterday’s Bill de Blasio press conference most people were left wondering why the Mayor just doesn’t fire all the cops and sub-contract law enforcement to the New Black Panther Party.  The Mayor’s rhetoric was so riddled with hatred toward the police it was quite stunning.
NEW YORK — The head of New York City’s police union said officers felt “thrown under the bus” by Mayor Bill de Blasio following a Staten Island grand jury’s decision not to indict an officer in the death of Eric Garner, CBS New York station WCBS-TV reports.

Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association President Patrick Lynch said the mayor needs to do more to support New York City cops.
“What police officers felt yesterday after that press conference is that they were thrown under the bus,” Lynch told reporters Thursday. “That they were out there doing a difficult job in the middle of the night, protecting the rights of those to protest, protecting our sons and daughters and the mayor was behind microphones like this throwing them under the bus.” (more…)

They want you angry, they want you very angry.  It’s emotion that drives the collective; it’s emotion that drives the mob; it’s emotion that drives democracy to totalitarianism.

There’s a reason the founding fathers of the U.S. Republic promised a “republican form of government“, a constitutional republic and not a democracy.
A Republic is ruled by principles of law, and as a consequence it is a representative process of considerable debate and deliberative conversation.
A Democracy is ruled by majority, by emotion.  Debate is not considered – the arguments are short and quick – the rules quickly assembled without lengthy forethought toward consequence.  (If that sounds like ObamaCare, it’s not coincidental) (more…)

No doubt the professionally aggrieved will use this decision as another opportunity for more shouting, looting and riots.  Yes, here we go again. 

People concerned about Eric Garner should remember it could just as easily have been caused by an illegal Big Gulp. You vote for this stuff.

The biggest problem in the Garner case was the media’s incessant focus on a supposed “choke hold”.  The video clearly shows the very large uncooperative male would not comply with instructions.  The police officer held few options, and the choke hold itself lasted only a few seconds.  Also, FWIW the “chokehold” is not illegal, just against policy. The media invested so much of their effort on the choke hold they are shocked at the outcome. 
(Huffington Post) – A grand jury voted Wednesday not to indict New York City police officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of Eric Garner, multiple sources confirm.

Pantaleo put 47-year-old Garner into a chokehold during an arrest for selling untaxed cigarettes on July 17. In a viral video of the arrest, Garner can be seen screaming “I can’t breathe!” multiple times until his body goes limp. A medical examiner later ruled his death a homicide. (more…)

According to the media there’s an apology in here somewhere…

CNN – Michael Brown’s stepfather says he’s sorry for his emotional outburst to demonstrators after learning Officer Darren Wilson wouldn’t be indicted in the teen’s death. But he says he’s unfairly taking heat for the rioting that followed.
Despite Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson’s assertion that police are investigating whether Louis Head intended to incite a riot with his words, law enforcement sources told CNN that Head is unlikely to be prosecuted.
Head said Wednesday that “emotions got the best of me” on the night of November 24 in Ferguson, Missouri, when he yelled “Burn this motherf—er down!” and “Burn this bitch down!”
