Law Enforcement Fraternized With & Ignored White Supermacist Threat, Now They Killed A Cop…

Every police offi­cer, past or present, regard­less of where they are from, or where they oper­at­ed, must feel shame, must be in shock at what we saw evolv­ing in Washington DC yesterday.
Regardless of senior­i­ty, every­one wor­thy of the title of “police offi­cer “would have been able to fore­see that the Capitol police pres­ence and the sub­se­quent response was not only inad­e­quate, but bor­der­line was a dere­lic­tion of duty.
In that regard, the Capitol police chief Steven Sund’s res­ig­na­tion calls are not only sound but urgent­ly critical.
Regardless of any mit­i­gat­ing or excul­pa­to­ry cir­cum­stances that would mil­i­tate in his favor, his depart­men­t’s egre­gious fail­ure makes it impos­si­ble for him to remain in his post.
He must resign…
An excerpt I post­ed to social media ear­li­er this afternoon.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D‑Calif., declared Thursday that she did­n’t need a review and called for Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund’s resignation.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R‑Ky., called for a con­gres­sion­al inquiry.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also said Thursday the Senate Sergeant at Arms Michael Stenger should resign or be fired. “If Senate Sergeant Arms Stenger has­n’t vacat­ed the posi­tion by then, I will fire him as soon as Democrats have a major­i­ty in the Senate,” Schumer said in a statement.

William Bratton, who has led the coun­try’s largest police forces in New York and Los Angeles, said it was “hard to com­pre­hend every­thing that went wrong.” “This was a fail­ure at every level.”
Sen. Christopher Coons, D‑Del., said law­mak­ers began dis­cus­sions about a secu­ri­ty review even as they took cov­er from attack­ers who had breached the Capitol.
Coons, in an inter­view with MSNBC, said that despite the “hun­dreds of mil­lions of dol­lars” spent in the after­math of ⁹⁄₁₁ to guard against a ter­ror­ist hijack­ing and lethal anthrax attacks, offi­cials had nev­er con­tem­plat­ed the sce­nario that played out Wednesday.

There is no need for a review of secu­ri­ty pro­to­cols to see what went wrong. Whatever they come up with to try to con­vince the nation went wrong will be blow­ing smoke up the peo­ple’s ass.
The sad real­i­ty is that this hum­ble writer has writ­ten dozens of arti­cles com­plain­ing, not only about the bla­tant dis­par­i­ties in the ways that law enforce­ment across the coun­try enforce the laws, but the way that police and fed­er­al author­i­ties have basi­cal­ly ignored the grow­ing and immi­nent threat of white suprema­cist militias.

Almost two decades ago, the FBI warned that white suprema­cists were infil­trat­ing police depart­ments across the nation. This, I might add, is in addi­tion to the fact that America’s police depart­ments were always racist over­lords who look down on the black com­mu­ni­ty with con­tempt and disdain.
Despite these warn­ings from the FBI, there has been no vis­i­ble evi­dence that the mat­ter is being addressed by either the gov­ern­ment at any lev­el, or by law enforce­ment itself.

In fact, even though the FBI gave the warn­ing, for­mer FBI direc­tor James Comey told police dur­ing the Obama Administration, that police were unsure how to do their jobs as they were suf­fer­ing from what [he] called the” Ferguson effect.” The so-called effect emanat­ed from the killing of Mike Brown unarmed 18-year old black teen in Ferguson, Missouri, by a white cop Darren Wilson.
Wilson faced no crim­i­nal charges, but the Black Lives Matter move­ment (BLM) is rumored to have come out of that inci­dent or been brought to promi­nence due to it.
By infer­ence, Comey’s address to police chiefs con­veyed that if police are not allowed to kill young black men, they come across indis­crim­i­nate­ly, they can­not do their jobs.

The real­i­ty is that across the United States, the white suprema­cist move­ments have cur­ried favor with police; thus, they have lured entire police depart­ments into believ­ing that they are allies.
The thug who sat in Speaker Pelosi’s office with his legs on the desk held events to raise mon­ey for the police. His actions and the actions of oth­ers who invad­ed the Capitol to dis­rupt the gov­ern­men­t’s busi­ness on Donald Trump’s behalf result­ed in a police offi­cer’s death.
If Black Life Matters right­eous pro­test­ers had done any­thing close to this, there would be hell to pay.
Police see Black and Brown peo­ple who march for dig­ni­ty, jus­tice, and against police abuse as ene­mies, while the true ene­mies are giv­en the red carpet.
In 2017 a group of black cler­gy mem­bers kneeled in prayer in the Capitol Rotunda to protest against Donald Trump’s bud­get cuts. Capitol police moved in and arrest­ed them.
Among those arrest­ed was the Ebenezer Baptist Church Pastor in Georgia, his name, Raphael Warnock.
On January 5^th, 2021, Pastor Raphael Warnock was elect­ed as the first black man to be elect­ed to the United States Senate from Georgia.

The sad irony is that the police have no bet­ter friend than the black com­mu­ni­ty, who only demand to be treat­ed with respect and dignity.
Time and again, we have seen police wel­come heav­i­ly armed white mili­tia-mem­bers wear­ing pro-police insignia with glee. They are giv­en water and thanked for show­ing up, (as cops did to Kyle Rittenhouse) before he mur­dered two peo­ple in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Police offi­cers are mem­bers of white mili­tias groups; they find com­mon cause with them. All over the coun­try, police groups sup­port Donald Trump and have been endorsed by him.
They do not see the threat posed by the mili­tias and white suprema­cist groups as a threat. Contrary to their belief, the real threat to American Democracy comes from white nation­al­ist who believes that they have the God-giv­en right to over­throw the Government if they dis­agree with its policies.
