A little known fact most are not familiar with – within your local jurisdiction, unless removed by State legislative construct, the County Sheriff is the highest recognized constitutional officer in your area....
(VIA TRUMP FACEBOOK) Every day members of the law enforcement community come to work prepared for anything. They understand that they are the thin blue line between a safe public and criminal activity — and each moment presents a new challenge.
Law enforcement understands the dangers of protecting their communities and go to work each day knowing they might be shot for their communities’ safety. This past year saw the highest number of law enforcement fatalities in five years including 21 that were ambushed, shot and killed.
Over the past few years’ law enforcement has been missing a key component to succeed in their jobs — federal government support.
While law enforcement is asked to do more and more with the ever-changing world of terrorism and public safety, the current administration has rolled-back much of the progress achieved through decades of effective policing through qualitative and quantitative resourcing.  In return the nation’s crime rates have risen faster than at any time in our modern history.

Here’s a great example of how the media will get a story wrong 100 times, before they realize the reason they’re getting it wrong is due to the inherent political-ideological filters they use within every presentation.
Against a horrific year in Chicago for shootings and murders President-Elect Donald Trump sends out the following tweet:

Without thinking, and relying on their traditional filtering prism, immediately the media transmit a narrative of President-elect Donald Trump challenging (attacking) Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.   The MSM proceed to present their narrative accordingly.
However, the continually short-sighted media never pause to remind themselves that Emanuel traveled to Trump Tower less than a month ago; and consider the pragmatic effective approaches deployed by Donald Trump throughout his career.

Build that darn wall Donald, BUILD THAT WALL:

[…] And when Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.  ~ Donald Trump June 17th 2015

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A Mexican man accused of raping a 13-year-old girl on a Greyhound bus that traveled through Kansas had been deported 10 times and voluntarily removed from the U.S. another nine times since 2003, records obtained by The Associated Press show.
[…]  Court filings show Martinez-Maldonado has two misdemeanor convictions for entering without legal permission in cases prosecuted in 2013 and 2015 in U.S. District Court of Arizona, where he was sentenced to serve 60 days and 165 days respectively.
A status hearing in the rape case is scheduled for Jan. 10. Defense attorney Lisa Hamer declined to comment on the charge, but said, “criminal law and immigration definitely intersect and nowadays it should be the responsibility of every criminal defense attorney to know the possible ramifications in the immigration courts.” (more…)

There were numerous incidents throughout the U.S. today as police responded to fights, shooting, looting, bloodshed and general mayhem in multiple States.

The mall issues and/or violence was reported in: Manchester Connecticut, Beachwood Ohio, Monroeville Pennsylvania, Aurora Colorado, Fayetteville North Carolina, Elizabeth New Jersey and Aurora Illinois…
Various terms like “youth“, “kids“, “teens” and/or “students” appear amid the general media reports which accompany each story.  However, beyond the words there appears to be something the PC media are trying to avoid.  Something transparently obvious to those who are looking at each story.
Something’s missing.  Perhaps they all have something in common.
Let’s see:

When candidate Donald Trump announced his intention to run for the presidency one of the key phrases oft repeated was “this is an election about competency and action“.
Today, President-elect Donald Trump met with Jim Brown and Ray Lewis to discuss initiatives intended to actually deliver, not talk, deliver, results.
Democrat party leadership must be beside themselves as they recognize/face the reality of an action-oriented president focused intensely on delivering economic empowerment.
The message today as delivered by Jim Brown is damn near tear-inducing, because it is so joyful to see:

With Dr. Ben Carson taking the appointed lead as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and with action-oriented President Trump pushing for measurable positive results, and with the combination of already successful private sector economic enterprises…. well, the future looks exceptionally bright.

Judge Clifton Newman has declared a mistrial after the jury returned to further deliberations Monday in the Officer Michael Slager trial, and are unable to reach a unanimous verdict over the charges of Murder or Voluntary Manslaughter:

Let it be perfectly clear, this outcome, all they way through trial and jury deliberations, has followed the exact tract many CTH researchers and observers predicted since the initial case research.   The entire state case rested upon provable malice.  – Full Case Research Outlines Here –
Based entirely on the facts that were evident in this case, CTH and most participants within the discussion threads therein, it was transparently predictable today’s outcome would be the final disposition of the case.
Update: According to a preliminary media debrief of the jury, which was outlined during a question at the post trial press conference:

The slager jury was hung on the Voluntary Manslaughter charge.
The Jury was a unanimous 'not guilty' on the Murder Charge.
