“An unarmed black teenager is shot and killed by a white officer.”
The perfect liberal call-to-arms.
Why?
Keep in mind, that the liberal brain is dominated by feelings. This is manifest in their actions and professions. Liberals dominate the expressive arts: writing, acting, singing, movies. They express themselves socially, often and loudly – breaking up peaceful meetings, shouting down speakers, sit-ins, die-ins, all forms of social media.
When was the last time you saw conservatives do a sit in for the Keystone pipeline? How many journalists are conservative in nature, or teach at universities? Bingo.
There is a reason we are called “The Silent Majority” – we don’t speak our minds that much and there are statistically twice as many conservatives as liberals. Any conservative thoughts I post on Facebook are met with few “likes” – though in person they tell me they did like what I posted. Those folks are fearful of reprisals by angry libs. I’m not.
Ah, but back to Ferguson, and the bonus of the Eric “I Can’t Breathe” Garner.
Liberals can not let go of the slavery issue. They constantly remind blacks, through schooling, black history month, and cases like these, that white men just hate them, want to enslave and kill them, keep them down, and whites are racists; how America is still a largely racist nation!
They don’t mention that the most powerful man in the world is black, our own president, or that the most arguably powerful woman in the world is black – Oprah. Whites put them in that position, because their aren’t enough blacks to have done that on their own. How blacks are preferred candidates over whites when it comes to public jobs, such as policing, admittance to colleges, or a host of other preferences.
But this is the racist hateful nation we are.
They fail to mention that blacks dominate team sports like basketball and football – but you don’t see them campaigning for diversity for whites there, do you? That feels good to libs – like they are “catching up” in a sense, so we’ll forego our sworn allegiance to “diversity”.
But once again, back to Ferguson.
As the liberal media first (and largely still do) reported it, a little black unarmed teen was mowed down by a racist white cop. They show the picture of this innocent looking 16 year old boy listening to his headphones at an arcade. When you report the incident this way, of course people take notice and get upset – what kid should be shot by an adult?
But liberals don’t want to hear the facts of what happened in Ferguson, because it plays into that slavery mold they just can’t let go off – whites hate blacks, and try to kill them or keep them enslaved. Ferguson perfectly modernizes that – a white cop (by definition racist) kills an unarmed black teen. Whites bad, blacks innocent. Blacks don’t do anything bad, but whites do.
This is really a great example of just how dominated the liberals brain is of emotions, which have no need for facts or understanding – just ask an out of control two year old to listen to the facts about why they shouldn’t throw sand at the other kids.
• The other kid with Michael Brown said Brown had his hands up. Dorian Johnson, the other kid, said that the officer shot Brown in the back, and he had his hands up, surrendering. Autopsy showed no back wound, and other witnesses, that were black, said Brown didn’t have his hands up. By the way, Johnson is 22, Brown 18. Not kids.
• Officer Wilson could have done something else to stop Brown. Really? We just saw that moments before Brown was shot he did a strong-arm robbery of a convenience store – how he pushed around a little Indian guy, like he deserved those smokes he took – and he could do it, considering he was 6′ 4″ and 250 lbs plus. Oh wait, he’s a little teen, like in the photo. Sorry. The tape shows what attitude brown had towards others in his marijuana-laced mind at that time – screw you, I’m doing what I want. There’s no denying by anyone that Brown was walking down the middle of the street- a big FU, if there ever was one. The black community, thanks largely to libs, are told the police are racist pigs, and is it inconceivable that Brown reached through that window and tried to grab Wilson’s gun? That he turned around and tried to attack the officer before the fatal wounds? How do you stop a 6′ 4″ large charging male that is high, pissed and injured? Hug it out?
• Brown was unarmed; he shouldn’t have been shot. You hear this constantly in any mention of the Brown case. He was unarmed, which I guess means, he was unable to harm the officer? That an officer shouldn’t shoot someone because they aren’t equally armed (again, with the equality mantra)? Unarmed people can be very dangerous and hurtful as well. Should a woman lying on her back being raped not reach for that pistol in her pocket because the male is unarmed? If a bunch of guys is beating up another guy, I tell them to stop, and they start coming after me – should I not use my pistol because they are unarmed? What if Brown just had a knife, would that still be called “unarmed”? Unarmed does not equate to not dangerous, but the media portrays it as such. Remember black slaves had little recourse over their armed masters, and this is in the back of the liberal mind.
• The police shoot a lot of black men; police are racists pigs therefore. If blacks commit the most crimes in society, and they do, statistically, then yes, they are going to be shot more often, duh. When white police are called into black neighborhoods – to defend black people, by the way – it just makes sense they are more likely to be shot. When that culture tells their kids that whites are racist, that police hate them, the fact no authority figure is bringing them up – then it makes sense blacks are going to try to fire at police more often, which is a terrible mistake.
• More cops need to be black. Which is a bonus, because of the golden rule of diversity, the snake-oil cure all of social ills. More black cops means what, less black crime? Less shooting of black males by police? Better understanding of black culture? What exactly does recruiting of more black officers offer? It’s like they are saying we should have more black officers because they get the black culture. Which means…they will allow certain things to slide, because you know, they get it? Can’t blacks live under the same rules? Rochester NY, where I live, has a black female mayor, a black head cop, several members on the city council are black, and yet we are one of the highest murders-per-captia in NYS. More blacks in positions of power makes no difference. Even if Ferguson had ALL black police officers, and Brown was still killed, the libs would be asserting that police are “aggressive”, “militarized” or other disparaging terms.
Maybe the biggest point in Ferguson – and in the Garner case – is what liberals aren’t talking about, because you NEVER blame a presumed victim.
Had Brown and Garner simply complied with lawful, simple commands by police – both of these cases wouldn’t have ended up the way they did. Everyone talks about what the police could and should have done differently; but rarely do you hear about what the instigators of the trouble could have done differently to have avoided the tragedy.
That just doesn’t fit the whites hates blacks tale.
