The Latest Kerfuffle, Brought To You By…

…New York’s Own Race Card Institution, is…

The Bell shooting and the not-guilty verdict rendered in favor of the police officers involved.

The result of the not guilty verdict, another way of saying that New York police officers will not be crucified for doing what they deemed necessary, at a given moment, to defend themselves, is a rerun of Sharpton and fellow race maggots’ response to the Amadou Diallo shooting. Any excuse to go after “the Man”.

So there are idiots blocking traffic up in Harlem and announcements by Sharpton that he will organize civil disruption of the entire city (same as his attempts after the Diallo case), a despicable business, including lots of people sporting signs that said, “Adolph Giuliani”, and the “reverend” who makes his living off perpetuating anti-white bigotry has even said that he intends to probe the presiding judge’s (in the Bell case) background in search of skeletons.

These folks ignore one simple fact: Big city cops are confronted with the reality that today’s drugged-up gang-bangers have a nasty tendency to open up on a police officer, at the drop of a hat, with more than just a handgun — full auto weapons are a dime a dozen on today’s streets, including machine pistols small enough to conceal with little difficulty under a coat or even a light jacket.

A cop is neither paid to, nor expected to, gamble with his life. If he has cause to believe his life is in jeopardy, he is authorized to respond as he deems necessary to stay alive.

A lesson should have been learned as far back as the Amadou Diallo shooting.

When you hear, “Police! Freeze!” — You freeze. You don’t reach for a wallet or a cell phone, you don’t start dancing, you don’t ask questions, you don’t begin to comb your hair…. You stop dead in your tracks, don’t move another muscle, and you await further instructions, such as “Clasp your hands together on top of your head.” Or whatever.

Make a sudden move and get shot, that’s your problem and your fault, not the cop’s. It’s not his job to wait until you’ve gotten a shot off at him before he defends himself, when your shot might have already killed him. It also doesn’t matter whether he fires one shot or twenty shots. The overkill angle is nothing but pure political enhancement.

While my condolences go out to the dead man’s fiancee and family, who definitely have their right to grieve, they cheapen their loss by allowing it to become a pawn in the race card agenda of Sharpton and his miserable parasite ilk, and by participating as such, they spit on their own lost loved one.

It’s over, let it stay that way.

I guess it’s a constinutional right….

    BB –

    The 2nd Amendment applies to law abiding people who don’t use firearms for the purpose of committing violent crimes against others. That’s why they don’t allow convicted felons to purchase firearms. Also, legal ownership of an automatic weapon is restricted to persons who have special documentation from the government, including transfer papers.

    Somehow, I don’t see the ATF allowing your average gang-banger to have such documents.

    The ATF caused the butchery at Waco over $2,400.00 worth of said transfer documents the Branch Dividians didn’t have for their four M-16s.

    I’ll leave you and the NRA to fight with the ATF: around here, anyway, it’s common knowledge that convicted felons and their ilk buy at gunshows..or steal them from collectors…as well as a murkey blackmarket. See: http://www.tucsonweekly.com/gbase/Tools/PrintFriendly?url=%2Fgbase%2FCurrents%2FContent%3Foid%3D43804
    for example. I sorta, kinda wonder…does sharia law apply to trigger fingers in these cases?

    Quite some time before that article was written, many local govts and the federal govt began seeking ways to address the problem of which you speak.

    I understand the liberal need for a quick fix (take ethanol, for example, and its disasterous results because the quick fix, rather than sufficient research, was applied) but some things, in order to be done right, take time.
